""Problem" might be the wrong word to use when it comes to Joe Girardi's lineup situation, as he must figure out the best way to add a three-time AL MVP to the mix in Minnesota.

The Yankees have had a pretty good thing going during the five-plus weeks they've been without Alex Rodriguez. Against righties, it's been Brett Gardner, Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira, Robinson Cano and Nick Swisher in the top six spots, followed by some combination of a third baseman, catcher and DH. Against lefties, Gardner has dropped to the No. 9 spot, moving the other five up one spot each.

Alex Rodriguez is expected to return from the disabled list on Thursday, and Girardi has already said that A-Rod will reclaim his cleanup spot. So what happens to everybody else?"
