Oakland Athletics outfielder Billy Burns returns to the lineup for the first time since Friday while shortstop Marcus Semien and third baseman Brett Lawrie are getting the day off for Sunday afternoon's finale against the Kansas City Royals.
Billy Burns leads off and is in center field after missing the last two days with a hip flexor issue that was causing leg tightness. Speed is Burns' game; Burns leads the American League in infield hits with 16, and is one ahead of Brett Lawrie and Jose Altuve. Burns is riding a 15-game hitting streak.
