White Sox lineup: ‘Youklis' batting second

Share

Kevin Youkilis will make his White Sox debut Monday night (7 p.m., Comcast SportsNet), batting second against Twins lefty Francisco Liriano. Although there's a minor problem -- his name is misspelled on the lineup card:

Oops. A corrected version of the lineup card has been posted at Target Field, per CSN White Sox Insider Dan Hayes.

Youkilis' presence means Gordon Beckham is bumped to the No. 9 spot in the order -- and all of a sudden, the White Sox lineup looks a lot deeper, doesn't it? Since the start of May, Beckham has a .770 OPS with nine home runs in 50 games. Having that kind of production at the bottom of the lineup certainly can't hurt.
