Ryan McMahon gets first start of 2018, as he adjusts to life off the bench | Denver Post
Ryan McMahon has shown a lot of potential in these early days of the 2018 season. Bud Black believes he could develop into a player with a very successful career. However, for the time being, he is coming off the bench for the Rockies. He did get a start in Tuesday night’s game against the Padres, playing at first base and batting eighth. He’s having to adjust to this method of play, as he is used to playing every day and being able to get into a rhythm.
