Aybar will lead off for the fourth straight game Sunday against the Giants, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports.

Analysis:

Aybar hit atop the order for a brief stretch earlier in the year when Kole Calhoun was dealing with a calf injury, but it appears Mike Scioscia is considering him for the leadoff role long-term, moving Calhoun to the cleanup spot. The movement only helps the prospective fantasy value of Aybar, who will be due to see a few more at-bats as long as he holds onto the job. He'll likely need to improve upon a .258 OBP if this move is going to stick, however.
