Our first look at Merrill Kelly, who will be looking to have a better 2025 than he had in 2024, when he missed close to four months with injury. He did come back in August, but had an ERA of 4.96 on his return, and will want to improve on that as well. Nice to see Del Castillo behind the plate as well, since he had previously been restricted to DH due to some right arm fatigue. We’ll see if he control the running game any better. Also note leading prospect Groover in the starting line-up, for what feels like the first time.
