Rizzo is playing first base and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Mets.

Rizzo is in the midst of a seven game hitting streak and is batting .371 (13-for-35) with a 4:12 K:BB since the beginning of June, so manager Joe Maddon will push him up to the top of the order in an attempt to kickstart the Cubs' struggling offense. While he's batting just .249 on the season, his 14 percent walk rate has his OBP at an impressive .390. This will mark Rizzo's first big-league start in the leadoff spot.
