First baseman Justin Morneau was released from the hospital Monday morning and has returned to the Twin Cities. The team does not know whether Morneau will be at the Metrodome for tonight's game against the Blue Jays.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said a trip to the disabled list for Morneau has not been discussed. Morneau will be tested tomorrow by the team's doctors, and could return by Wednesday or Thursday if all goes well, Gardenhire said.
Joe Mauer is back in the three slot tonight as the designated hitter. Jeff Cirillo continues his stint at first base in Morneau's absence.
Also, be on the look out for some history to be made this week at the Metrodome. Frank Thomas is at 499 career home runs ...
