The Chicago White Sox (31-25), clinging to a 0.5 game lead in the AL Central Standings, take on the Toronto Blue Jays (30-26) on Thursday, and the south side will have their most important bat in the lineup again with 1B Paul Konerko returning from his three-game injury absence.
The long-time Sox slugger is hitting .366/.445/.617 with 11 home runs in the 2012 MLB season, and he has been the anchor to a revitalized White Sox lineup. Here is a look at Thursday's order, courtesy of CSN Chicago:
- Alejandro De Aza CF
- Gordon Beckham 2B
- Adam Dunn 1B
- Paul Konerko DH
- Alex Rios RF
- A.J. Pierzynski C
- Dayan Viciedo LF

- Orlando Hudson 3B
