Josh Willingham hit his fourth home run of the season Saturday as the Twins defeated the Rangers. Willingham's two-run bomb in the sixth inning off Rangers starter Derek Holland gave the Twins a 3-0 lead. The outfielder also singled and wound up with two runs scored. He has a stellar .940 OPS in 17 games this season.

Josh Willingham returned to the Twins' lineup Saturday. Willingham has been dealing with flu-like symptoms, but is finally ready to return. Oswaldo Arcia will serve as the Twins' DH Saturday against the White Sox.

Josh Willingham (flu) is out again on Tuesday. Willingham has been battling flu-like symptoms for the past couple of days. He is not even available to pinch-hit.

Josh Willingham is not in Monday's lineup against the Angels. Willingham is reportedly dealing with an illness, but he should be fine in the next day or so. Oswaldo Arcia will make his major league debut in left field and bat seventh.

Josh Willingham went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer Saturday versus the Orioles. The Twins traded two-thirds of their outfield over the winter, yet they held on to Willingham, the oldest and most expensive of the trio. He probably won't be quite so productive this year as he was in 2012, but he's the favorite to lead the Twins in homers and RBI while batting in between Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau.

Twins general manager Terry Ryan said he's willing to listen to trade proposals for any of his players. "I've said this a couple times: We don't have any untouchables," Ryan said. "That's as plain an answer as I can give you. If somebody has some interest in one of our guys, we'll listen." For what it's worth, MLB.com's Peter Gammons has been told Joe Mauer is "not being traded," and 1500ESPN's Phil Mackey hears the Twins "really don't want to trade" Josh Willingham. As Ryan notes, the team will listen, but it's "going to take quite a bit to get them."

Josh Willingham (shoulder) is likely done for the season. Willingham is out of the lineup Monday for the sixth straight game due to a sprained left shoulder. "He can't reach up with his left arm or finish his swing with his left arm, so in my opinion he probably won't be in there the rest of the way," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "But I'm just guessing. I don't want to say he's out for the year because he hasn't told me, and the trainers haven't told me." He'll conclude the year with a nice .260/.366/.524 batting line with 35 homers.

Josh Willingham (shoulder) may miss the rest of the season. Willingham is out of the lineup for the third straight game with a sprained ligament in his shoulder. He still felt a "pinch" while trying to swing the bat Friday, so the Twins will likely play things safe and let him heal.

Josh Willingham (shoulder) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Yankees. Willingham is currently day-to-day with a left shoulder sprain and isn't expected to return before Friday. Matt Carson will start in left field Wednesday.

An MRI on Josh Willingham's left shoulder came back clean, but he's not expected to return to the lineup until Friday, at the earliest. Willingham injured the shoulder Monday when he slammed into the left field fence. The Twins have little incentive to rush him back, so the outfielder could also play sparingly down the stretch. Ben Revere is manning left field Tuesday, with Chris Parmelee getting the start in right.
