With Joe Mauer and Scott Baker set to start the season on the DL, the seemingly minor aches and pains of Justin Morneau are getting more focus than they otherwise would.

The good news is that Morneau is in the lineup today for the final spring game, and the roster has been set for opening day, so Morneau should be just fine.

Morneau had been suffering from a stiff back.
