Ramirez To Hit 5th With Konerko Out Again
(CBS) Paul Konerko is out of the lineup for the second straight game (bruised calf) and Alexei Ramirez has been moved to the middle of the order to provide some much needed run protection.
With Adam Dunn and Alex Rios continuing their season-long offensive struggle, the White Sox were left with very little firepower in the middle of the order Monday night in their 3-2 loss to the Yankees.
Ramirez provided the only offense of the game for the White Sox when he hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning.
Here is the rest of the lineup tonight as John Danks takes the hill against the Yankees' Phil Hughes:
LF Pierre
3B Vizquel
DH Quentin
1B Dunn
SS Ramirez
C Pierzynski
CF Rios
RF De Aza
2B Beckham
