Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Rondell White felt his calf pop while running in the outfield this afternoon. He doesn't know yet if that means White reinjured his calf or not.
Jeff Cirillo ran the bases today and Gardenhire said the infielder wouldn't necessarily need a rehab stint before rejoining the team. Luis Castillo continues to improve but Gardenhire had no timetable for his return.
The four bottles of champagne that have caused Torii Hunter so much trouble were returned today. Hunter ran by Gardenhire while the manager was talking to reporters and said, "Gardy, the champagne's back. Want to drink it tonight?"
Gardenhire responded, "Sure, invite (Royals DH Mike) Sweeney."
Five members of the Minnesota Wild -- Mark Parrish, Wes Walz, Nick Schultz, Wyatt Smith and Stephane Veilleux -- joined the Twins for batting practice today at the Metrodome. Bloomington native Parrish hit a home run to left field and Walz displayed decent skills taking grounders at second and short.
With that, lineups.

Isn't Sweeney the guy Tony Pena ticked off a few years ago when he said his players needed to start pounding tequila after games? If so, Gardy's funnier than I thought ...
I like the work you guys are doing in the PiPress. It's flown under the radar a little bit, but it's a big improvement over last year – and over the work the competitor's doing, too. Keep it up.
