Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Kurt Suzuki
	2	Eric Fryer
1B	1	Joe Mauer D.L. Joe Mauer (oblique) hit in the batting cage on Thursday. The next step is taking live batting practice, though that hasn't been scheduled yet. Mauer has been swinging a bat for a few days now and hasn't had any setbacks, which is obviously a good sign. A return sometime next week would seem to be doable. Jul 24

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Ricky Nolasco D.L. Ricky Nolasco (elbow) will throw a bullpen session on Sunday. Nolasco has been long-tossing this week as he works his way back from flexor pronator stiffness and is ready to test things out from the bump. There's no timetable for his return, but his situation will clarify if Sunday's 'pen session goes well. Jul 23
	2	Phil Hughes Sidelined Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Friday that while Phil Hughes (shin) is sore, he's "not as bad as he thought he might be." Hughes exited Thursday's outing after being hit in the right shin by a comebacker, but Gardy expects the right-hander to be fine for his next outing. Hughes holds a 4.10 ERA but a superb 113/12 K/BB ratio over 131 2/3 innings this season. Jul 25
	3	Kevin Correia
	4	Kyle Gibson Sidelined Kyle Gibson (back) will throw a bullpen session on Saturday, and if all goes well he will make his next start on Tuesday against the Royals. He had been scheduled to start on Wednesday, but was scratched due to back stiffness. The 26-year-old owns an 8-8 record, 4.19 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 54/30 K/BB ratio over 107 1/3 innings through his first 19 starts. Jul 25
	5	Yohan Pino
	6	Mike Pelfrey D.L. Twins general manager Terry Ryan said Friday that Mike Pelfrey no longer has numbness in his hand. Pelfrey underwent surgery in June to relieve pressure on the ulnar nerve in his throwing elbow. Ryan said that he "wouldn't be surprised" if the righty is done for the season -- and in all likelihood, he is -- but he left the door open for a September return. Jul 4
