Twins' Kurt Suzuki: Available off bench Sunday

Suzuki is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox but is available in an emergency after leaving Saturday's game with a cut that required eight stitches on his chin, the St. Paul Pioneer Press' Mike Berardino reports.

Analysis:

A foul tip caught Suzuki, and apparently it didn't get all of his facemask, as the catcher suffered a laceration that needed further medical attention. He's still feeling sore, but according to LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Suzuki expects to resume duties behind the plate during Tuesday's series opener against the Braves. Juan Centeno is catching Sunday and batting eighth in the lineup.
