SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — There’s Shaun Anderson. And Trevor Gott. And Tyler Rogers. Maybe even Matt Carasiti or Sam Coonrod gets a look.

Error 0:
Left-hander Tony Watson has been dealing with tightness in his throwing shoulder and is about three weeks behind schedule. He threw his first bullpen of the spring Saturday and will throw 20 to 25 more pitches off the mound Monday.
