Still chilly in the Windy City

The projected game-time temperature tiday is 37 degrees, a bit warmer than Saturday, but not noticeably.

Juan Rincon is nursing a sore neck. He wasn't available to pitch yesterday because of it, and manager Ron Gardenhire said Rincon still seemed pretty sore today. Gardenhire said he didn't know if Rincon would be available for use today.

Rondell White said his calf is feeling a little better today. He spent Saturday evening icing, soaking it in hot water in his hotel bathtub, and watching We are Marshall. He's still day to day.

Jeff Cirillo is again available to pinch hit, though Gardenhire said if Cirillo gets on base, he'll have to pinch run for him.

With that, lineups.
