Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien is batting eight in Sunday's matchup with the Yankees.
Semien has become a mainstay atop the lineup, and Sunday's game will be his first batting anything but second since May 11. While the shortstop has struggled a bit in the second half of May, he is 5 for 15 over his last four games. The A's will go with second baseman Ben Zobrist in the No. 2 spot on Sunday after initially batting him third since his return from the disabled list.
The A's are favorites (-128) at home on Sunday, per VegasInsider.com.
