It wound up being Mookie Betts remaining the leadoff hitter, followed by Ohtani hitting second and Freeman in the three-hole.
The two-way star being moved to the top of the Dodgers' lineup also included a period where Will Smith hit second in order to split left-handed hitters Ohtani and Freeman.
Betts historically has preferred to be the leadoff hitter but said this past spring that no longer was a concern of his.
