Oakland Athletics shortstop Franklin Barreto is headed back to the bench for Wednesday afternoon's matchup against the Detroit Tigers.
Barreto got the start and batted leadoff yesterday, however, he finds himself on the bench today as Marcus Semien draws the start for Oakland.
Coming off a 1-for-6 showing last night, Barreto is projected for just 1 hit in 5 plate appearances the rest of the year.
