JT Riddle batting leadoff for Marlins

Miami Marlins infielder JT Riddle is batting leadoff against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

What It Means:

Riddle has taken the place of Adeiny Hechavarria (oblique) in the starting lineup while the latter is on the DL, but this is a big vote of confidence in his bat. Riddle has slashed .298/.317/.439 with 1 home run, 6 runs, and 11 RBI over 60 plate appearances in the last two weeks.
