When asked how his knee was prior to Saturday night's game, Mitch Moreland politely responded, "Have you seen the lineup?"
Sure enough, there it was. Moreland was back. That, however, doesn't mean the first baseman's balky left knee is fully healed.
"He'll play tonight, not play tomorrow and then we'll go over how he's feeling," said Red Sox manager Alex Cora. "He's good for today."
Moreland will be going up against Minnesota starter Jake Odorizzi, who has limited the lefty hitter to just one hit in 12 at-bats.
Here is the Red Sox' lineup with Rick Porcello on the mound for the hosts:
Mookie Betts RF
Andrew Benintendi LF
J.D. Martinez DH
Mitch Moreland 1B
Xander Bogaerts SS
Rafael Devers 3BV
Eduardo Nunez 2B
Sandy Leon C
Jackie Bradley Jr. CF
