Sore right oblique ends Dozier's career year

CHICAGO -- Twins second baseman Brian Dozier's career year came to a close on Sunday, as he was held out of the lineup in the series finale against the White Sox with right oblique soreness he sustained during Saturday's 6-0 win.

Dozier, who was injured on a swing in the first inning and later left Saturday's game, finishes hitting .268/.340/.546 with 42 homers, 35 doubles, 18 stolen bases, 104 runs and 99 RBIs in 155 games. He finishes one homer short of tying the record for homers hit by a player who primarily played second base and one RBI short of 100.
