NEW YORK (AP)—All-Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez(notes) is back in the Florida Marlins’ lineup.

Manager Fredi Gonzalez also shook up his batting order for Saturday’s game against the New York Mets. He moved Chris Coghlan(notes) to the leadoff spot and dropped speedy Emilio Bonifacio(notes) to second.

Ramirez left Tuesday night’s 5-3 loss at Philadelphia in the third inning. He felt tightness in his right groin after beating out a grounder to shortstop for a single.

The shortstop took part in pregame drills Friday night, but did not start in the Marlins’ 2-1, 11-inning loss to New York. He pinch hit in the 10th and grounded out. He is hitting .318 with eight homers and 22 RBIs.
