Willy Adames Moved to Leadoff Spot
San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames has been moved to the leadoff spot for the Giants for Monday's series opener at Petco Park against the San Diego Padres and right-hander Walker Buehler, according to MLB.com. It's time for the Giants to shake up their batting order as they head into the second series of the 2026 season after they mustered just one run in the season-opening series at home against the New York Yankees. The 30-year-old Adames will become a better DFS play out of the leadoff spot after hitting cleanup twice and sixth once in the first three games. It's an unfamiliar spot for Adames, as he has only hit leadoff twice since the start of the 2018 season. Adames will be looking for his first career hit against Buehler, whom he's gone 0-for-5 against previously. Like most of the Giants' hitters, Adames is off to a slow start at the plate, going 1-for-11 with five strikeouts in his first three games.
