David Bell’s lineup card has been filled out for Sunday’s series finale versus the Miami Marlins. The Cincinnati Reds skipper decided to give rookie second baseman Jonathan India the day off and inserted fellow rookie infielder Jose Barrero into the starting lineup. Barrero will make his first major league start at second base.

Last night, Bell brought in Barrero late in the game as part of a double-switch when Michael Lorenzen replaced Mychal Givens on the mound.
