Konerko (hand) is back in the lineup Friday against the Rays.

Analysis:

The training staff has signed off on Konerko returning to action, after his fractured hand held up well during an extended batting practice session earlier in the week. It will be his first start since Sept. 2. It's uncertain how Konerko will be deployed over the final week, but it's hard to imagine he'll play every day given his age and the nature of the injury.
