Youkilis returns, avoids major work on ankle

Share

ARLINGTON, TEXAS -- Kevin Youkilis is back in the White Sox lineup on Friday and said he didnt require any major treatment on his sprained left ankle.

Youkilis left Wednesdays victory over the Minnesota Twins early after he sustained the injury rounding first base.

The veteran third baseman is hitting .277 with five homers and 20 RBIs in 25 games with the White Sox. He benefitted from a day off on Thursday.

I think I could have (played Thursday), but I took it easy the whole day, Youkilis said. Probably an off-day was the best thing for me.
