Athletics' Marcus Semien moves up to bat second on Thursday

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien is moving up the batting order Thursday against the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

Semien hit out of the seventh spot on Wednesday, but he and Mark Canha are flip-flopping in the batting order for Thursday's game. Canha will hit seventh and Semien is in the two hole against right-hander Justin Verlander.
