Thursday the Twins will play a game against themselves. Friday they will play against the Boston Red Sox. I think this means that baseball is back! At least, back enough that I can start to live again! Woooooooot!
Here’s who’s playing in the intra-squad on Thursday.

Your Josmil Pinto injury watch.
As expected, Josmil Pinto will not play on Thursday and remains day to day. Needs to do a full day of drills/BP before trainers will clear.
