Sosa has recently been sharing starts at second base with Elvis Andrus, who will cover the position and bat eighth Friday against the Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober. Sosa is sitting on a four-game hitting streak, but he owns a rough .196/.200/.341 overall season slash line in 143 major-league plate appearances.
