Semien will start at second base and bat ninth in Friday's game versus the White Sox.

Semien was demoted from leadoff to the fifth spot in the lineup in late April, and he's now been dropped all the way to the bottom of the batting order. The veteran infielder has just a .512 OPS in May after posting a .504 OPS in April.
