Injuries

Form ESPN:

"Twins 1B Justin Morneau, who had been sidelined with a back tightness, had four at-bats in a minor league game Saturday morning. He is expected to be ready to start the season. . RHP Cole DeVries, who left Friday's game after just three innings with forearm tightness, is doing fine and is expected to make his start on Saturday. . RHP Samuel Deduno, who has not pitched since the World Baseball Classic final because of a sore left groin, is feeling better but has not pitched a bullpen session yet. ... He will stay at the team's spring training complex in Fort Myers when the Twins leave. . RHP Liam Hendriks, who was hit in the hand by a line drive in his last start, is scheduled to pitch in a minor league game Sunday and is expected to make his start on Friday. . Twins RHP Anthony Swarzak, on the disabled list because of a rib injury, is scheduled to pitch in a minor league game on Tuesday. He is eligible to come off the DL on April 6. . LHP Scott Diamond, on the DL with an elbow injury, is expected to pitch in a minor league game on Tuesday."

Me again.

So much of the season depends on the guys listed here being healthy for the entire season. The DeVries news sounds GREAT but I haven't trusted a Twins diagnosis on injuries for at least a season now. They ALWAYS seem to get it wrong. I'm bummed that Deduno isn't available and won't be for awhile. Liam's hand appears to be better, and I'm glad he's one of the scheduled starters.

The Twins rotation:

Worley, Correia, Pelfry, Hendriks, DeVries

Any bets on how long this rotation order will last without an injury or replacement? Will we even make it through the very FIRST time?
