(*) Giants RHP Tim Lincecum won the NL Cy Young Award, with the Diamondbacks’ Brandon Webb finishing second in the voting.

The AL Cy Young Award winner will be named Thursday.

(*) On Wednesday, the AL and NL managers of the year are announced. Twins skipper Ron Gardenhire likely will finish second in the AL voting behind Tampa Bay’s Joe Maddon.

The Twins recently agreed to a two-year extension with Gardenhire, which will keep him under contract through 2011, though the team is waiting to announce the deal until they finish agreement with the coaching staff. All of the coaches are expected to get two-year deals.

(*) Pat Neshek is seeing Twins physician Dr. Dan Buss today, and undergoing another MRI exam on his right elbow. Will post an update here as soon as I get one.
