Aoki will leadoff and start in left field Sunday against the Athletics, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aoki will be making his third start in a row after collecting four hits in nine at-bats in the preceding two contests. The 34-year-old has had a down season with a .269 average and a 6-for-15 success rate on stolen-base attempts, but he seems poised to assume the bulk of the starts in left field over the remainder of the campaign.
