Denard Span Back In Lineup; Shoulder MRI Clean

Span was back in the lineup Friday night, and should be good to go from here on out.

Odds are, this is just precautionary, as the Twins look to make sure he’s completely fine as the playoffs approach. Span hasn’t been a great hitter this season, owning a batting line of .266/.333/.354, but he’s been one of the team’s better baserunners, and his defense has been a big positive in center field.
