Tejada is starting at second base Tuesday against the A's with Daniel Murphy sitting against Scott Kazmir, Marc Carig of Newsday reports. After seeing his first start at shortstop in more than a week Sunday. Tejada gets his first start at second base of the season and first game at the position since September 28, 2011. Tejada is viewed as a backup middle infielder and playing him at second is a way to determine if he can fill that role, since the team already knows he is solid defensively at short.
