Rodriguez And Wright Will Not Start the Season In The Rotation

Neither Eduardo Rodriguez nor Steven Wright - both of whom are coming back from knee surgery last year - will be ready to start the regular season.

Manager Alex Cora said Brian Johnson, Roenis Elias, and Hector Velazquez are the most likely candidates to take their places.

In less important news, infielder Marco Hernandez has gone back to Boston to "have hardware removed from his surgically repaired left shoulder".
