Red Sox's Brock Holt: Batting leadoff Saturday

Holt will lead off Saturday against the Twins, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

With Mookie Betts (knee) out of the lineup, Holt will move up for his first start atop the order this season. Holt hasn't hit higher than sixth in a start to this point, but he's 12-for-36 with a pair of homers this month and manager John Farrell said Friday (when questioned about prospect Andrew Benintendi's move to left field at Double-A) that he's "more than happy" with Holt in left field for Boston.
