One down, 161 to go

The rotation in Chicago this weekend will go Carlos Silva, Sidney Ponson and Johan Santana. That gives Santana an extra day's rest, something manager Ron Gardenhire said the ace needs after sitting through long offensive innings on Monday.

Jeff Cirillo is nursing a sore left knee. He's still available to pinch hit if necessary, but will receive a cortisone injection to help heal an injury he said flares up once in awhile.

Check out tomorrow's notebook for more on both those subjects and much, much more. Here are your lineups ... enjoy the game.
