platooned
Alternated by situation
Platooned is the past tense of platoon, meaning to share playing time by alternating with another player, typically based on matchups.
In baseball, managers platoon players at a position—using a left-handed hitter against right-handed pitchers and vice versa: He platooned in left field all season.
The practice treats two players as a single unit, like a military platoon working together.
