Delmon Young

The Twins host the Toronto Blue Jays beginning a 3-game series tonight at 7:10, pregame on WJON at 6:40. Righthander Carl Pavano (2-4) gets the start on the mound for the Twins and lefthander Ricky Romero (2-4) toes the rubber for the Blue Jays.

The Twins made some roster moved last night and they include placing outfielder Delmon Young on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique. The move is retroactive to April 19. Young is replaced on the active roster by outfielder Rene Tosoni. Tosoni was hitting .286 with 3 homeruns and 16 RBIs at triple-A Rochester.

The Twins signed leftfielder Delmon Young to a 1-year $5.4 Million contract Wednesday to avoid salary arbitration. Young batted .298 with 21 homeruns and 112 RBIs in 2010 for the Twins. Young is 24 years old. Pitchers and catchers need to report to spring training today with the first workouts scheduled for Friday.
