Adley Rutschman

Festa had a nice debut last month, but this is three straight bad outings since. He surrendered homers to Ryan Mountcastle and Adley Rutschman while his spring ERA rose to 11.91. His rotation hopes are already dashed, but he could fall even further down the Twins' depth chart if this keeps up.

Mullins is 3-for-22 this spring. He spent most of last year hitting in the bottom third of the order, though he did get some play as a No. 2 hitter when the struggling Adley Rutschmann was moved down in the lineup in September. Mullins has finished with .305 OBPs each of the last two seasons, so he ought to again hit somewhere low. He'll also probably do quite a bit of sitting against lefties, with Ramon Laureano stepping in and Colton Cowser moving from left to center.

Rutschman is 3-for-8 with two walks in four games this spring. He really struggled at the plate in the second half of last season, probably in part due to a hand injury. It seems likely that he'll bounce back, but the Orioles may think about dropping him from his usual second spot in the order if he doesn't start off quickly this season.
