Derek Dietrich will bat leadoff against the Brewers on Saturday.
Dietrich will bat leadoff against the Brewers on Saturday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
Ichiro Suzuki received the first start atop the order after Dee Gordon's suspension, but Dietrich will get the nod Saturday. It marks his first career start in the leadoff spot at the major league level. Dietrich is off to a nice start this season, and while he's not walking much, he could stick as a regular leadoff option with the team seemingly wanting to keep Christian Yelich lower in the order.
