Starting lineups are not available yet but here's what Rotoworld had to say this morning:

"Eligible to come off the disabled list Friday, general manager Terry Ryan said Thursday that Michael Cuddyer (thumb) "might need an extra day or two before returning."
Despite the fact that they've been playing Jason Tyner in right field with Cuddyer out, it sounds like the Twins don't plan to rush him back. He's likely to be in the lineup at some point during the series against Cleveland."

thanks... that is exactly what i needed to hear. i'll bench him for someone who is for sure playing tonight in a 7:05 game.

Well well well, you never know. Cuddyer IS in the starting lineup. Batting cleanup, as a matter of fact.
