Kristian Campbell News: Starting, but not at first base

Campbell will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

The fact that Campbell is playing second base is unexpected after manager Alex Cora had previously said that he planned to give the rookie his first career start at first base this weekend. Cora will instead use Abraham Toro at first base in the series finale. Campbell has been taking pregame reps at first base for a couple weeks now and could eventually get a look if the team is comfortable with his defense.
