Stevenson back to center and Laird back to right. He explains himself pretty well in the video.

Stevenson & Laird clearly field better.
McMullen & Foster clearly hit better.
It's a dilemma. Normally I would say just go with the better hitters, but lately I've seen that it really does make a huge defensive difference out there, so, whaddya gonna do?
My inclination would probably be to platoon Stevenson & Laird in CF, play McMullen in RF, and put Foster at DH, but at this point it looks like a fluid situation. Stevenson or Laird might be able to hit his way into the lineup, and if Foster goes into a slump, he might be able to hit his way out of the lineup.
It certainly looks like Moore's time at DH will get cut down some, given that he has to compete against 2 guys now (McMullen & Foster) who have pretty hot bats.

I dont understand why mineari wants to change shite up so much when nothing is wrong...IE starting mccune on sunday.
Foster sured up RF this past weekend IMO. Or even put Mcmullen in RF and let Foster DH but Foster clearly secured a spot in the lineup after this weekend. Stevenson has no business being on the field this year. Maybe next year but certainly not this year. His fielding is not any better than Laird and the dude just cannot hit. His at bat Sunday was atrocious.
LF- Rhymes CF- Laird RF- McMullen/Foster
DONE

So our solution to our hitting problem is to put a worse bat into our lineup?

There was NOTHING in the video you linked which indicated Mainieri is going to put Stevenson back into the outfield.
On the contrary, he actually explains why he won't make Stevenson the starter by saying, "How much offense are we willing to sacrifice by putting in a better defensive player?"
And this was right after he mentioned Stevenson is only batting ".170 or something."
Stevenson won't be starting in the outfield any time soon.

That's just dumb IMO, Stevenson looks terrible at the plate.
