CHICAGO -- After getting a game off due to a sore knee, Cody Ross returns to the lineup as the Red Sox face White Sox' left-hander John Danks Friday night.
Few members of the Red Sox have had success against Danks, who is coming off a six-inning, four-run outing against the Mariners. Five Sox in the starting lineup have batting averages under .200, with only Mike Aviles (3-for-9) hitting over .300.
Here is the Sox' lineup:
Mike Aviles SS
Dustin Pedroia 2B
Adrian Gonzalez 1B
Kevin Youkilis DH
Cody Ross RF
Kelly Shoppach C
Darnell McDonald LF
Marlon Byrd CF
