Phillies' Andrew Knapp: Making history as leadoff hitter

Knapp will start at catcher and serve as the Phillies' leadoff man Sunday against the Pirates, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Incredibly, Knapp is the first catcher to serve as a leadoff hitter for the Phillies in the live-ball era, per the Elias Sports Bureau. It's likely just a temporary assignment for Knapp, as the Phillies could get primary table setter Cesar Hernandez (foot) back as soon as Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.
