Iglesias, who entered Tuesday hitting .330 with an on-base percentage of .384, could move into the leadoff spot for the Tigers, according to the Detroit Free Press. He has spent almost the entire season hitting out of the nine-hole.

Analysis:

The spotlight would increase dramatically on the hot-hitting shortstop, whose average sits fourth in the American League. He has hit second a few times this season, but has never gone to the top of the lineup. If he could handle it without it affecting his game, his fantasy value will go up in a big way, particularly in the runs scored department. He'd have a lot of massive bats behind him to punch him in. Keep an eye on it -- Anthony Gose is struggling with a .167 average and .214 on-base percentage in June.
