I’ll post the lineups now and send updates as they come.

Update (6:25 p.m.): It sounds like there’s a good chance Cliff Lee will skip Sunday’s start against the White Sox after skipping Thursday’s workout with a stiff neck.

(*) Manager Ron Gardenhire said all of his relievers will be available to pitch tonight.

(*) Glen Perkins was very encouraged by his bullpen session on Wednesday, saying it was the best he’s felt in about a month. Sounds like the extra rest this week will do him some good for Saturday’s start against KC.

(*) Jose Mijares is eligible to be on the Twins’ postseason roster. I’ll have details in the notebook.

Update (8:32 p.m.): La Velle will keep you updated on Kevin Slowey’s right wrist injury over on his blog.
