Ryon Healy up to third in Oakland's Friday lineup

Oakland Athletics infielder Ryon Healy is hitting third and starting at first base on Friday.

What It Means:

With Minnesota Twins lefty Jaime Garcia on the bump, Oakland is going with a lineup heavy on right-handed sticks. Yonder Alonso is out, so Healy is sliding over to first. Matt Chapman is filling the vacated hole at third.

Garcia has a 4.54 SIERA, but he's held right-handed hitters to a .319 wOBA this season. Healy, however, has owned lefties this year, destroying them to the tune of a .431 wOBA.
