Jonathan Villar returned to the leadoff spot on Sunday after batting third on Friday. Villar went 3-for-4 with a walk, run and steal in the Brewers' 13-6 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
After resting a couple of games while in San Diego and batting third on Friday, Villar was back in his normal spot batting leadoff on Sunday and responded with three hits to raise is average up to .220 on the season. Villar has not been the player he showed a year ago when he batted .285 with 62 steals. He has struggled with his plate discipline this season with a decreased walk rate (8.4%) and increased strikeout rate (28.9%) which has contributed to his decrease in production.
