| Player Notes |
| October 10, 2006 The Twins have picked up their $12 million, 2007 option on Torii Hunter, according to ESPN.com. Hunter has said that he is willing to talk about a contract this winter, but after that he would wait until becoming a free agent after the 2007 season. |
| September 28, 2006 Torii Hunter left Wednesday's game after fouling a pitch off his toe in the seventh inning, the AP reports. With the Twins not concerned about going after the AL Central title, it wouldn't be a shock if Hunter got some time off this weekend. |
| September 20, 2006 Torii Hunter was back in the lineup Wednesday night after fouling a ball off his left leg on Tuesday. He went 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBI. |
| August 17, 2006 Torii Hunter stated Wednesday that his sore left ankle is getting better every day, according to the Star-Tribune. Hunter, who spent two weeks on the DL last month with a broken bone in his left foot, is hitting just .211 over the last week. |
| August 13, 2006 Torii Hunter was in the linuep Sunday after getting hit by a pitch in the right hand during Saturday's game, according to the AP. Hunter, who received an X-ray Sunday that showed no damage, went 0-for-3 at the plate. |
| August 12, 2006 Torii Hunter got hit by a pitch on the left hand in the eighth inning on Saturday, according to the AP. Although he stayed in the game, he is scheduled to get X-rays on Sunday morning. The injury likely isn't serious. |
| August 11, 2006 Torii Hunter will get some days off during the Twins upcoming 10-game homestand, according to the official team website. Manager Ron Gardenhire said that Hunter's left ankle and foot are still sore, and the turf at the Metrodome can sometimes aggravate them. |
| August 5, 2006 Torii Hunter was back in center field after being used as the DH in the first two games at Kansas City because of a sore left ankle, according to the AP. "What we're going to do is protect him as much as we can with his ankle," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. |
| August 4, 2006 Torii Hunter was the DH on Thursday because of lingering soreness in his ankle, according to the Star-Tribune. Hunter has been fitted with a special insert in his left shoe to relieve pressure on the stress fracture in his foot, but it's causing soreness in the ankle that he fractured last season. |
| July 31, 2006 The Twins activated Torii Hunter from the 15-day DL on Monday, according to the AP. Hunter had not played since July 15 because of a stress fracture in his left foot. He believes the broken left ankle that cost him the final two months of the 2005 season also caused him to be cautious and run flat-footed this year, which led to the stress fracture. |
| July 29, 2006 Torii Hunter felt good Saturday, one day after running, throwing and hitting with his teammates, according to the AP. Hunter, who went on the DL July 16 with a stress fracture in his left foot, is eligible to be activated on Monday. |
| July 25, 2006 Torii Hunter, on the DL with a stress fracture in his left foot, is expected to return to action on Monday against the Rangers, according to the AP. He has missed 10 games with the injury thus far. |

| July 17, 2006 An MRI Sunday morning revealed that Torii Hunter has a stress fracture in the fourth metatarsal of his left foot, according to the Star-Tribune. He was placed on the disabled list later in the day. "We look at it as maybe a couple of weeks," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We decided rather than have him try to play through something like that it is better to put him on the DL." |
| July 16, 2006 The Twins placed Torii Hunter on the DL Sunday with a stress fracture in his left foot, according to the AP. Hunter had left Saturday night's game after two innings with the injury. The team recalled Josh Rabe from Triple-A Rochester to take Hunter's place on the roster. |
| July 15, 2006 Torii Hunter is scheduled to have an MRI on his sore left foot, after X-rays taken Saturday night were inconclusive, according to the AP. Hunter, who struck out swinging in the first inning, came out of the game after playing two innings. "He came in and said he couldn't run," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said after the game. "It's more on the top of his foot toward the outer part of the little toe. He was hurting. He was close to having tears coming out of his eyes." |
| April 23, 2006 Torii Hunter finally stole his first base of the season on Sunday. Hunter was 23-for-30 on stolen base attempts in just 98 games last year, but this was his first attempt since last year's severe ankle injury. |

| March 28, 2006 Torii Hunter, who is returning from a broken left ankle, left Monday's game after sliding hard into second base, according to the Star Tribune. "He said he was a little sore with his foot today," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "That's going to happen. You're going to have good days and bad days." |
| February 24, 2006 Torii Hunter is still just 90 percent recovered from the broken ankle that ended his season last year, according to the Star Tribune. "I can do a lot on it," he said. "I'm around 90 percent. I'm not going to say I'm 100 percent because if I'm not hurt and I come to spring training, the next week I'll be sore. I know there are going to be different movements going on during the games so I'm going to say I'm 90 percent." |
| January 29, 2006 Torii Hunter is recovering well from the broken ankle that ended his season early last year, according to the Star-Tribune. "I feel like I'm 90 percent," he said. "By spring training, I should be at 100 percent." |
