MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rain has spared the Minnesota Twins from playing short-handed again, with Justin Morneau and Delmon Young still recovering from ailments.
Morneau has a stomach virus, and Young has sore ribs. Neither were in the lineup Friday against the Cleveland Indians, but the game was called about a half-hour before first pitch. Several hours of steady, cold rain forced the postponement to an unscheduled date in either July or September.
Manager Ron Gardenhire said as he left his office that Young felt fine after pregame swings in the batting cage. Morneau was also feeling well enough to give Saturday’s game a try.
Young hasn’t played since Monday. Morneau hasn’t played since Saturday.
