"Didier Fuentes will get the start to continue one of the best Spring Trainings of all-time. Over his three appearances he has pitched 9.0 innings with seventeen strikeouts and his only baserunner has been a HBP."
"Dominic Smith seems to be on track to making the roster as a platoon option against RHP, but with bringing in Rowdy Tellez to a minors deal, some questioned if that meant that Smith may be the odd man out."
"The Pirates are bringing a lineup that could very well be one that their fans will get to see many times throughout the regular season. In the heart of the order we see old friend Marcell Ozuna hitting cleanup."
Spencer Strider is starting the season on the injured list due to an oblique strain, leading to Didier Fuentes getting the start. Fuentes has had an impressive Spring Training, pitching 9.0 innings with seventeen strikeouts and only one baserunner. Dominic Smith is not in the lineup, raising questions about his roster status, especially with Rowdy Tellez's addition. The Pirates' Carson Fulmer has also not allowed a baserunner in his 4.0 innings this spring. The Pirates' lineup features Marcell Ozuna and Ryan O'Hearn, who is securing his position in the outfield.
