Marte will bat leadoff Tuesday against the Rays.
Coming off a career game (4-for-5 with two doubles and a homer), the switch-hitting Marte will move atop the order against lefty Drew Smyly. It marks Marte's third time leading off this season. Nori Aoki now has a .460 OPS against same-handed pitching, but he has a .352 OBP against right-handed pitching and the Mariners have given no indication that a permanent change in the leadoff spot is coming.
