Overview
- Manager Will Venable outlined a matchups-based approach with Kyle Teel favored against right-handers and Edgar Quero picking up DH at-bats while catching more versus lefties without a strict platoon.
- Edgar Quero is 9-for-17 with a Cactus League–leading nine RBIs, including a homer off Shota Imanaga, after offseason adjustments to improve rotation and bat speed.
- Kyle Teel earned praise for his work with pitchers and departed camp to join Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic after a limited spring sample at the plate.
- Korey Lee, who is out of options, has shown early on-base gains and threw out a basestealer, strengthening his case to remain on the roster.
- GM Chris Getz has resisted outside trade interest in the catching trio as evaluations continue through the remainder of camp ahead of Opening Day on March 26.
