Nelson Cruz is in the starting lineup for now, a day after leaving Tuesday's game with a left elbow contusion. Cruz is going to take swings before the game and, assuming that goes well, will remain in the lineup.
Matt Harrison goes for win No. 16, and will be paired with Luis Martinez for a second consecutive start. Harrison and Martinez teamed to take a no-hitter into the seventh inning Friday against Minnesota.
