Reds Opening Day Roster: Unexpected Choices in Outfield, Rotation, and Bullpen
Mark Sheldons latest Opening Day roster projection for the Reds features surprising selections in the outfield, rotation, and bullpen. JJ Bleday and Will Benson secure the final outfield spots, leaving Nathaniel Lowe out despite his experience. Bleday and Benson have excelled this spring, while Lowes average and OPS match but fall short of theirs.
Hunter Greenes elbow stiffness may delay his season start, opening two rotation spots for Chase Burns, Rhett Lowder, and Brandon Williamson. Sheldon picks Burns and Lowder, sending Williamson to Triple-A Louisville.
In the bullpen, Tejay Antone and Kyle Nicolas earn roster spots over Sam Moll, Connor Phillips, Luis Mey, and Zach Maxwell. Phillips impressed late last year, but Mey and Maxwells struggles point them toward the minors.
The big question revolves around Moll, a left-handed reliever with minor league options. When healthy, hes one of the best relievers, making the Reds decision before facing the Boston Red Sox on March twenty-sixth challenging.
