 Nick Punto-2B- TwinsJan. 29 - 1:56 pm et
Nick Punto is scheduled to undergo minor wrist surgery on Friday afternoon.
The Twins expect him to be fine by the time position players report to spring training, so it must be a fairly minor procedure. Punto batted a measly .228/.337/.284 with one homer and 38 RBI in 359 at-bats last season, but he's likely to play a major role for the Twins again in 2010.
 Nick Punto-2B - Twins Sep. 23 - 11:52 pm et

Nick Punto was 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in a win over the White Sox on Wednesday night, completing a three-game sweep.
With the Tigers' win over the Indians, the Twins stay 2 1/2 games back. Punto had an RBI double in the fourth and a two-run single in the seventh. The Twins plated an additional insurance run after a stolen base by Punto and an error by shortstop Alexei Ramirez. Punto picked a great time to get hot -- he is batting .327 this month.
 Joe Crede-3B - Twins Aug. 27 - 9:48 am et  

Joe Crede (back) was given an epidural Wednesday for his sore back.
Crede has missed five straight games and will be placed on the disabled list if the pain-killing injection does not take effect. Nick Punto started at third base Wednesday and should continue drawing starts.

 Joe Crede-3B - Twins Aug. 26 - 4:48 pm et  

Joe Crede (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday.
No word yet on the results from his Tuesday night MRI, but owners in daily leagues should make sure he's on the bench for now. Nick Punto gets the start in his absence on Wednesday.

 Alexi Casilla-2B - Twins Aug. 16 - 11:59 am et  

Alexi Casilla was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Indians.
Casilla is apparently hampered by a foot injury. He's batting a disappointing .182/.271/.227 this season with no homers and 12 RBI in 176 at-bats, so a bit of rest should be good for everyone. Nick Punto is manning second base.

 Mark Grudzielanek-2B - Indians Aug. 10 - 5:04 pm et  

Twins released second baseman Mark Grudzielanek.
Grudzielanek hit .267 (8-for-30) in eight games with Double-A New Britain. He also made two errors at second base. This likely signals the end of the 39-year-old's career. Unfortunately for the Twins, it also means that Nick Punto and Alexi Casilla will patrol second base for the club down the stretch of a pennant race.
