Four Dawgs on MLB Opening Day Rosters

Four Georgia Bulldog lettermen have made Opening Day rosters as the 2020 Major League Baseball season begins Thursday night.

Kyle Farmer (Cincinnati Reds), Justin Grimm (Milwaukee Brewers), Jared Walsh (Los Angeles Angels) and Alex Wood (Los Angeles Dodgers) will begin the season on their team’s respective 30-man active rosters. The start of the 2020 season was delayed in March when Spring Training was shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. A second spring training, or “summer camp” as some teams called it, began July 1 with each team allowed a 60-man player pool.

Farmer, a catcher/infielder for the Cincinnati Reds, will serve in a utility role again this season.
