A hamstring injury may keep Ronald Acuña Jr. out for a short period, with a return possible within the next week. A key lineup question is who should bat leadoff when both Acuña Jr. and Baldwin are available. Acuña Jr. has batted leadoff for most of his career, indicating he is a natural choice for that role. Baldwin has been performing above expectations and has looked like a natural fit at the top of the order. The decision depends on how Walt Weiss weighs Acuña Jr.’s established leadoff history against Baldwin’s current performance and fit.
