Manipulating the lineup
Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2016 9:22 am
Tonight my rightfielder is injured for one game and I want my DH to play RF for the first game. However the DH in the batting lineup is so weird, I don't know how to get this accomplished. Here is my lineup:
1. Marte - SS
2. Wright- 3B
3. Gutierrez - RF (Injured - 1 game)
4. Cruz - DH
5. Cespedes - LF
...
For the first game, I'd like
1. Marte - SS
2. Wright - 3B
3. Cruz - RF
4. Trumbo - DH
5. Cespedes - LF
...
If I set the Cruz as the backup for RF and the starting DH, I believe that Cruz will play DH for all games (not what I want when Gutierrez is injured). On the other hand, I believe if I set RF as Gutierrez with Cruz as backup and leave DH blank and batting fourth, it will play the right players, but Cruz-DH will drop to batting ninth. Correct?
Is there any way to get what I want above?
