Justin Morneau is a little worn down but still wants to play, so Gardy made him the DH while firing out Garrett Jones at first.

Pat Neshek has been roughed up a little lately, but Gardy and Rick Anderson said the problem is purely mechanical, not because the league is figuring him out.

In order to keep Carlos Silva on a regular schedule, Matt Garza will start Saturday in Chicago so Silva can start on Friday. The Twins will have to juggle their rotation throughout September, as there’s off days on the first three Thursdays.
Finally, it looks like Joe Mauer may be another week - which means the Twins should have DL’d him in the first place.
