Cristian Guzman started at shortstop against the Marlins on Tuesday. By the bottom of the seventh inning, however, he was switched to second base.

It was the first time Guzman has played the position in his career. He wasn’t challenged in the game, however, catching a pop up off the bat of Mike Lamb.

Guzman was able to get one more at-bat in the top of the eighth before leaving the game.

Manager Jim Riggleman said Guzman will start at second against the Cardinals on Wednesday at Roger Dean Stadium.
