MINNEAPOLIS — Adam Dunn returned to the White Sox lineup on Saturday after missing seven consecutive games with a strained right oblique.
Dunn was in the lineup at first base, with Paul Konerko at designated hitter for the 12:10 p.m. game.
“We’re going to unleash him today, so he’s been let out of the training room so we can get him in there,” manager Robin Ventura said. ‘Talking to [trainer] Herm [Schneider], it’s better for him to stay loose so he’ll be at first base.”
Today’s lineup vs. the Twins’ Samuel Deduno (6-3, 3.55):
De Aza CF
Youkilis 3b
Dunn 1b
Konerko dh
Rios RF
Pierzynski c
