Notes :
“Johan Rojas threw to bases today. He will again on Wednesday. He'll be ready to play CF after that, Rob Thomson said.
Thomson said there should be enough at-bats for Rojas early in the season, even with plans to play Marsh and Kepler almost every day, even vs. LHPs.” - Todd Zolecki on X
Other Notes :
Former Phillies minor league RHP Kevin Gowdy pitched 1/3 of an inning in the game for Toronto retiring the only batter he faced but also allowing an inherited runner to score on a wild pitch.
