Player Notes

June 27, 2009
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Michael Cuddyer has been taking grounders at second base and could get a start there as soon as this weekend.

Our View:With Nick Punto out this gives the Twins more options, and if Cuddyer racks up enough games to qualify at second his fantasy value instantly skyrockets. Cuddyer has 60 career games played at second, so he could fill in admirably there.

June 21, 2009
Michael Cuddyer went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and recorded the Twins' lone RBI in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Astros at the Metrodome.

Our View:Minnesota only mustered two hits in the game. Cuddyer has two homers over his last four games, with three RBI over the span. Keep him active in fantasy lineups while he is hitting well.

June 18, 2009
Michael Cuddyer led the way for the Twins in their Thursday afternoon victory over the Pirates. Cuddyer went 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run, a run scored, and an RBI in the game.

Our View:Cuddyer has shown the ability to produce at the plate, and he should be able to contribute in most fantasy formats. He won't be anyone's top player, but he is hitting .277 with ten homers and 35 RBI, which is plenty respectable.

June 16, 2009
Michael Cuddyer is back in the Twins' starting lineup for tonight's home game against Pittsburgh, according to the Star Tribune. He has been dealing with inflammation in his right index finger.

Our View:This is good news, and Cuddyer is worth penciling back into fantasy lineups if he is a regular contributor to your club. He is hitting .262 with nine dingers and 34 RBI.

June 15, 2009
Michael Cuddyer missed the final two games of the Twins series with the Cubs due to an inflamed right index finger. The Star-Tribune reports that he visited a doctor on Sunday to have his finger drained and injected with cortisone. He missed four games earlier in the month due to the same condition. It's possible that he will be available for Tuesday's game.

Our View:Cuddyer has played nearly every game for the Twins this season and has 34 RBI and scored 34 times. He is a solid player when healthy, but don't count on him for Tuesday. It's best to wait and see when he lands back in the starting lineup before inserting him in yours.
