Morneau in the lineup

Justin Morneau took batting practice on the field before today's game and decided he's ready to go. He's in the fifth slot as the designated hitter.

Morneau said his chest muscles are still sore, but not enough for it to bother him. Doctors told him his injury can't get any worse by DHing. Ron Gardenhire said Morneau will likely DH all of the Detroit series.

Luis Castillo came to the park feeling a little sore, normal for the second baseman on a day game after a night game, so he's out of the lineup today.
