Minnesota will trot out a familiar lineup to face former teammate Francisco Liriano when the Twins meet the White Sox at 12:10 p.m. CT at Target Field on Saturday.
A few of the Twins players weren't up with the team when Liriano was with the Twins. He was traded to AL Central-contending Chicago before the trade deadline.
