Twins outfielder Denard Span has felt dizzy and hasn’t had a lot of energy the past couple of days.  “I didn’t even pick up a bat today,” he said.

He was in the outfield during pre-game but eventually walked off the field, talked with Twins trainers and then retreated to the clubhouse. Twins doctors are expected to look at shortly before game time.

That has led to a lineup renovation. See below.

Back to regular programming….

Happy Memorial Day, everyone. Let’s not forget about those who made the ultimate sacrifice in order to to protect this country.

Jason Kubel said his left knee remains a little swollen but he’s about ready to play. He planned to lobby manager Ron Gardenhire to be in today’s lineup but Gardenhire wants to wait one more day.

Delmon Young has returned to the club after attending his mother’s funeral and took early batting practice.

Michael Cuddyer is batting .360 with 6 homers and 24 RBI since Apr. 27. He’s 6 for 11 in his career against Dave Bush.

The Twins’ 139 runs in May are the second-most in baseball.

Twins also have homered in six straight games. If they go deep today, it will be their first seven-game homer run since August of 2005.

The Brewers are trying to avoid getting swept for the first time this season.

Prince Fielder is 4-for-11 against Scott Baker. Bill Hall has two homers off Baker. I don’t have the Brewers lineup yet.
