LeMahieu is batting leadoff Friday against the Cubs, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
"DJ Le" batted leadoff the past five games, but that was more out of necessity as Charlie Blackmon moved down to the three-hole to replace Nolan Arenado while the third baseman was suspended. However, LeMahieu will stick in the pole position even with Arenado returning to action, suggesting a more long-standing change in the batting order. LeMahieu normally batted second last year and at the start of this season, but he could be in line for even more run-scoring opportunities with both Blackmon and Arenado hitting behind him.
