Pillar will no longer bat leadoff for the Blue Jays moving forward, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pillar is in the midst of a tough slump at the plate, slashing just .162/.205/.257 with five RBI and seven runs in 17 games (78 plate appearances) this month, so he'll slide down in the batting order for the time being. Jose Bautista, who is batting leadoff in Pillar's place Wednesday, will take over at the top of the order moving forward. If Pillar is able to regain his early season form at the plate (.301/.339/.505 triple slash in 25 April games), there is a possibility that he could return to his role as the Blue Jays' leadoff hitter.
