CHICAGO (AP) -Minnesota Twins second baseman Alexi Casilla was scratched from the lineup against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday because of a sore lower back.

Recently called up because of injuries in the infield, Casilla has a 10-game hitting streak and is 16-for-40 in that stretch.

With Casilla out, shortstop Brendan Harris was scheduled to bat second, with Matt Macri playing second.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
