Toles will start in left field and bat leadoff against the Padres on Opening Day, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts hinted over the weekend that he could have Toles leading off and Logan Forsythe in the five-hole against right-handed pitching early on, and that is indeed the case against Jhoulys Chacin. Toles figures to sit against lefties, but if he's able to maintain a regular spot atop the order against righties, it would be big for his fantasy value. The 24-year-old posted an .870 OPS in 48 games with the Dodgers last year, and while he didn't run much in that stint with the big-league club, he did steal 23 bases in the minors last season (82 games).
