<p>Earlier Monday, Tigers outfielder Magglio Ordonez insisted his sore left oblique wouldn’t keep him from playing in Monday night’s series opener vs. the Minnesota Twins. However, Ordonez apparently aggravated something during batting practice, because <a href="http://beck.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/06/magglio_scratched_with_left_si.html">he’s not in the starting lineup</a>.</p>
<p>Brennan Boesch takes over for Ordonez in right field. Ryan Raburn gets the starting nod in left. That puts Ramon Santiago back in the lineup. He was originally scheduled to get the night off, with Raburn starting at second base.</p>

<p>After missing six games earlier in the month with a strained oblique muscle, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/teams/DET">Detroit Tigers</a> outfielder <span>Magglio Ordonez</span> is once again feeling pain in his left side.</p>
<p>According to MLB.com's Jason Beck, <a href="http://beck.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/06/left_side_still_bothering_magg.html">the soreness is minor</a> for now. But it might not take much to aggravate the injury once again, and that concerns Jim Leyland.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The soreness doesn't bother him on normal swings, Leyland said. It's when Magglio does something like reach for a ball, or check his swing, that he feels it. Whether it has anything to do with his 3-for-20 performance so far on the road trip isn't clear, but Leyland wants to make sure it doesn't develop into a bigger problem.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Could that pain be a reason for Ordonez's recent struggles? He's batted 3-for-20 on this road trip, including an 0-for-7 for two games in Atlanta before getting a day off on Sunday.</p>
<p>Beck says to expect Ordonez in the lineup for tonight's series opener versus the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/teams/MIN">Minnesota Twins</a>, however. Especially because of his success against <span>Francisco Liriano</span>. Ordonez is 8-for-24 in that matchup, with two home runs and eight RBIs.</p>
