Merrifield is batting leadoff Friday against the Angels, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Normal leadoff man George Springer has been dropped to the fifth spot in the batting order amidst a slump. Merrifield has earned his ascension to the top of the order by putting up a .968 OPS with five home runs and two stolen bases in July.
