Figgins back in lineup

Chone Figgins will lead off and play third base, giving him his first start since Aug. 21. Figgins has been out with a bone bruise in his left wrist that he suffered while swinging right-handed. Figgins still hasn’t taken any cuts from the right side and will likely bat exclusively form the left side down the stretch. Figgins did appear in Thursday’s game as a pinch runner and late-inning defensive replacement. He did not get an at-bat. Vladimir Guerrero is still out with an inflammed right triceps. Here is today’s lineup vs. the Indians:

Figgins 3B
Cabrera SS
Anderson LF
Morales DH
Kotchman 3B
Izturis 2B
Matthews CF
Mathis C
Willits RF

Lackey P
