MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- Here are the Indians and Twins lineups for Friday night's game at Target Field starting at 8:10 ET.
Michael Brantley, who has missed six of the Tribe's eight games, is back in the lineup. Brantley has been sidelined with back problems.
Brantley will DH and bat third. David Murphy will start in left field as the Indians send eight left-handed or switch-hitters against Twins right-hander Mike Pelfrey.
Friday is Brantley's first game since he started the Indians home opener against Detroit on April 10. Toward the end of the game, Brantley started getting back spasms and he's been idle since.
