Semien (illness) will start at shorstop and bat in the cleanup spot for Monday's Cactus League game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Semien was held out the past two days with an illness, but there was never much concern that he'd be sidelined for long. The 26-year-old is expected to lock down a spot in the heart of the order for the Athletics after slugging 27 homers and 27 doubles in 2016.
