Alberto will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Though he appears to be healthy again after recently overcoming a shoulder injury, Alberto may no longer be viewed as the primary replacement at second base for the injured Elvis Andrus (oblique). After sitting out Saturday's 7-3 loss, Alberto will pick up a start at the hot corner Sunday for a resting Yoan Moncada while Romy Gonzalez nabs another start at the keystone.
