Semien will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
After homering twice Thursday against the White Sox to bring his total up to 32 on the season -- one shy of his career high -- Semien has gone 1-for-8 with a base hit in the first two contests of the series in Detroit. The Blue Jays will keep him atop the lineup for the second game in a row Sunday, though he could shift down in the order as soon as Monday, when George Springer (knee) could be ready to return from the injured list.
