Austin Wells, moderately slow-footed but powerful, became the first catcher to bat leadoff in the Yankees 123-year history (he also became the first MLB catcher since 1900 to hit a leadoff homer on Opening Day). Since then, the job has gone to Goldschmidt.

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is batting leadoff again on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Corbin Burnes. It will be Goldschmidt's third time leading off in the early going in five games played.

With the Yankees facing their first left-handed starter of the season in Nestor Cortes when they resumed their series against the Brewers, manager Aaron Boone gave his Game 1 lineup an overhaul.
