Anthony Rizzo Bumped Up To Leadoff Spot On Wednesday
3 years agoNew York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo will hit leadoff for the first time this season in Wednesday's game against Jose Berrios and the Toronto Blue Jays. Third baseman Josh Donaldson, who has been the team's primary leadoff hitter, is sliding down to No. 3 in the order. Rizzo hit either second or third in the lineup for each of the team's first five games of the year. Over his career, he's 3-for-12 with a home run against Berrios. Donaldson, meanwhile, has just one hit over seven career at-bats against Berrios. Rizzo is off to a nice start to the season, slashing .250/.455/.688 with two home runs over five games.
