How ouch-y?

Any word on Arcia?

[Squirrel]

I saw this little blurb on the site I take the lineups from:

Oswaldo Arcia is out on the field testing out his ankle after he sprained it on Thursday.

[Squirrel]

Then there was this:

Update: Oswaldo Arcia said his sprained ankle feels better and he could possibly play Saturday.

Just in:

 

Kubel in RF, Hicks in CF, Santana as DH

[JB_Iowa]

• Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 20m
  Arcia said he tested his right ankle with some light running today. Indicated that went only so-so.
   
   
   
  
  • Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 22m
    Oswaldo Arcia is hitting in the cage now if ankle feels ok, he might hit on field. Saturday return possible, he said

Kubes!

[JB_Iowa]

• Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 14m
  Arcia said the cage work went well. He plans to hit on the field. Ankle is taped up pretty tight. Would assume DH at best Saturday.

Kubes!

  Jason Kubel has neither an RBI nor an extra base hit since May 1. He does have 29 Ks in 65 ABs in that stretch.

I've got to wonder if these are his last four at-bats, before Fuld returns. I'd like to see him make something of them.

That doesn't sound very encouraging. If it's a high, inside ankle sprain (not sure that it is), this might take a while. I'd prefer a Kirk Gibson slugging gimp in the DH slot over Santana, though.

Kubes!

In fairness to Gardy, Kubes is 2 for 3 with 2 HRs and 5 rbi against Kuechel. If Kubel is going to be allowed to consume some of the oxygen in the Twins dugout, he needs to be in the lineup against this guy.

 

OTOH, if he doesn't rake tonight, it should be Kube's last stand.

 

Today's hypothetical question: What would be the result of a Kubel at bat against Correia?

I'll play____Kubel vs Correia = Kuechel squared

Wild pitch strikeout, Kubel injures himself running to first.
