The Sox are 0-1 vs. the Twins this season. They lost an April 12 game at Target Field and the final three games of the series were snowed out. Minnesota has lost 11 of its last 13. White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada's playing status is questionable after he left Wednesday's game at St. Louis with a tight left hamstring. Twins center fielder Byron Buxton hasn't played since April 17 due to migraine headaches and a fractured big toe. Lopez ranks fifth in the American League with a 1.78 ERA.
