The Twins have placed starting RF Michael Cuddyer on the 15-day disabled list with a strained tendon in his left index finger. Cuddyer has played in 62 games this season for the Twins and he is 59 for 234 (.252 avg, .700 OPS) with 30 runs scored, 3 homers, 35 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. The Twins have recalled 24-year old lefty swinging Denard Span to replace Cuddyer on the roster. Span will likely get a chance to show what he can do this time around for the Twins. Span has played in 12 games for the Twins this season and he is 8 for 31 (.258 avg, .582 OPS) with 4 runs scored, 2 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. Span has been really effective in the minors this season. He has played in 39 games in AAA ball this season and he is 53 for 155 (.342 avg, .920 OPS) with 32 runs scored, 3 homers, 14 RBIs and 15 stolen bases.
