As the team heads back to Chase Field for the final two exhibition games, the Opening Day roster is coming into shape. The starting rotation has been set, while the starting position players have - touch wood! - made it through spring training without significant problems. There are still a couple of spots remaining to be decided, but there are strong indications as to who will be getting those positions. So I feel moderately confident in posting what I think will be announced as the Opening Day roster in a couple of days.
Starting rotation
- Zac Gallen
- Merrill Kelly
- Eduardo Rodriguez
- Brandon Pfaadt
- Corbin Burnes
The major surprise here is Burnes not pitching during the opening series against the Cubs.
