The one question that was still up in the air for opening day was who would catch Chris Archer, Curt Casali or Hank Conger. It turns out Kevin Cash will go with the newly acquired Conger:
- Logan Forsythe, 2B
- Logan Morrison, 1B
- Evan Longoria, 3B
- Corey Dickerson, DH
- Desmond Jennings, LF
- Brad Miller, SS
- Steven Souza, RF
- Kevin Kiermaier, CF
- Hank Conger
Cash told the media the decision to start Conger was based on the matchup with Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, noting that Archer would be comfortable pitching to either catcher.
