Leon will start at catcher and bat ninth Sunday against the Orioles, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.

Leon will start for the sixth time in nine games, but that shouldn't be taken as evidence that he's usurped Christian Vazquez as the Red Sox's primary catching option. Manager John Farrell has gone with a timeshare behind the plate all season, with the distribution of starts often difficult to predict week to week. Leon is at least providing value for those in AL-only formats or deeper mixed two-catcher formats for those that have kept him active of late, driving in seven runs over his last seven starts.
