Josh Donaldson returns to Twins lineup as J.A. Happ starts against Tigers

Josh Donaldson, who missed the past four games because of a hamstring strain, worked out before tonight's game against Detroit at Target Field and proclaimed himself ready to go.

The third baseman will bat second for the Twins (7:10 p.m., BSN) in a battle of lefthanders as J.A. Happ (4-4, 6.09 ERA) goes for the Twins and Tarik Skubal (5-7, 4.35) pitches for the Tigers.

The teams have a four-game series before the All-Star break.
