Lugo scratched; Coco still out
Julio Lugo (back tightness) was pencilled in to play short here this afternoon against the Twins (1 p.m.), but after speaking with assistant trainer Mike Reinold, Terry Francona decided to keep him out and probably will not play him today, either.
Coco Crisp (groin) remains out and is still undergoing treatment, and Francona expressed some doubt whether he’ll go tomorrow.
Here are the lineups for Twins-Sox in City of Palms, and Sox lineup in Fort Lauderdale for the split squad game against Orioles (1 p.m.):
