The Opener: Roberts, Rodriguez, Walker
Briefly

As the baseball regular season approaches, two key storylines are emerging. The Dodgers are close to finalizing a contract extension for manager Dave Roberts, who has had tremendous success with the team since 2016. Meanwhile, Orioles pitcher Grayson Rodriguez is under evaluation for triceps soreness, a troubling sign considering recent performance issues. The Orioles are already thin in their pitching rotation, and Rodriguez's potential absence could significantly impact the team's early season prospects.
"With Roberts entering the final year of his contract, getting a deal done should be a major relief for both sides."
"If Rodriguez were to miss time due to the issue, the club would seem poised to utilize a quintet of Charlie Morton, Tomoyuki Sugano, Dean Kremer, and Albert Suarez in the rotation."
