Realmuto will bat in the leadoff spot Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
This is a bit of a unique spot for Realmuto, who will bat leadoff for just the seventh time this season. Oddly enough, the backstop owns just a .209 on-base percentage against left-handed pitching this season, although he does sport a .290 career mark. In any case, manager Don Mattingly will elect to get things going with Realmuto, while the regular leadoff man, lefty Derek Dietrich, bats seventh in the order.
