After losing their last four games overall and the first two games of their series against the Texas Rangers, the Minnesota Twins have shaken up their lineup in preparation for Saturday's game.
In the outfield, Denard Span will leadoff in center this afternoon, letting Ben Revere move over to right field to replace Darin Mastroianni. Josh Willingham is back in the lineup in left field after missing Friday's game with a stiff neck.
The infield looks almost completely different today with Jamey Carroll moving from third base to second, replacing Alexi Casilla. Trevor Plouffe replaces Carroll at third after being the DH yesterday, and Joe Mauer will have DH duties for today. To finish with the changes, Ryan Doumit moves from left field to replace Mauer behind the plate today.
