This week's AL Central column looks at players who were among some of the final cuts before Opening Day. One of the bigger surprises was Byung Ho Park, who appeared to be overcoming an awful MLB debut in 2016 with a strong 2017 spring.
Rafael Montero might be in line for a larger-than-expected workload with the recent news of Seth Lugo's elbow injury. Also, Tommy Milone joins the Brewers rotation while Junior Guerra is sidelined.
Could Aaron Altherr's strong spring performance lead to a larger than expected role in the PHI outfield? Plus a look at MIA's 1B situation, the NYM sixth starter, and more.
With closer Roberto Osuna out, TOR will opt for Jason Grilli and Joe Biagini to finish games. Plus, updates on Jorge Soler, Vance Worley, Seth Lugo and more.
Youngsters Trey Mancini (DH, BAL) and Mallex Smith (OF, TAM) have made their respective Opening Day rosters. But they may not want to get too comfortable. Also: a bullpen arm to watch in BOS, Hicks' hopes in NYY and a lack of rotation depth in TOR.
