American League Central
Detroit Tigers @PIT, @STL, MIL, CHC, @HOU
Marcus Thames: Thames has been dealing with a nagging injury since the beginning of the season, and just came back from a rib injury. He will most likely split time with Magglio Ordonez in right field at National League ballparks.
Kansas City Royals CIN, ARI, STL, @HOU, @PIT
Mike Jacobs: Jacobs is the man out when talking about losing the designated hitter. He may see some time at first base when the matchups are right.
Cleveland Indians STL, MIL, @CHC, @PIT, CIN
Travis Hafner: After returning from the disabled list, Hafner will probably be sitting for the Indians when playing the National League. He may see some time at first base, but don’t count on it.
Chicago White Sox @MIL, @CHC, @CIN, LAD, CHC
Jim Thome/Paul Konerko: Both of these guys have an equal chance of playing when the team loses the designated hitter. Just check the White Sox lineup prior to their games.
Minnesota Twins @CHC, PIT, HOU, @MIL, @STL
Jason Kubel: Kubel has been the designated hitter for the Twins for most of the season, but I think he will be put in an outfield position at National League ballparks. If he doesn’t, he will be used in pinch hit situations.
