Crede returned Twins' lineup on Tuesday after sitting out Monday with a stiff back, the team's official site reports.

3B Joe Crede was back in the lineup after missing Monday's game with back stiffness. Crede came to Kaufmann Stadium feeling ready to go on Tuesday and said missing the previous game was only a precaution "to give it a game to calm down," he said, not a warning sign. Crede has had two surgeries on his back and said he doesn't expect his back to be 100 percent.

Advice: Crede, who had been dealing with a stiff lower back lately, was 0 for 7 in his previous four games.
