Jaso will bat leadoff in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis:

The 31-year-old singled in a pinch-hit appearance in Game 1, marking his return following a three-month absence due to a wrist injury. Jaso will step in for his second start of the season in the nightcap, taking over at DH and atop the order, pushing Grady Sizemore to the two-hole. It remains to be seen if Jaso will be a regular option atop the order against right-handed pitching.
