Slumping Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien is getting the day off on Tuesday, as he is being held out of the lineup against the Padres. Semien had started 12 of 13 games for the A's this month, but is batting .195 with one extra-base hit over that span. He has also committed four errors this month.
Eric Sogard will get the start at shortstop and bat second on Tuesday, in what is likely just a rest day for Semien.
