Dodgers Face Royals in Final Arizona Spring Training Showdown

The Dodgers are set to clash with the Kansas City Royals in Surprise, marking the conclusion of their Arizona spring training road games. This matchup promises to be an exciting one, as it features the highly-regarded outfield prospect Mike Sirota, who is making his first start of the spring. Wearing the number 05 jersey, Sirota will bat ninth as the designated hitter in his fourth appearance in the Cactus League.

Joining Sirota in the lineup are notable talents such as Andy Pages in center field, Kyle Tucker in right field, and Santiago Espinal at first base. Dalton Rushing will take the catching duties, while Kyle Freeland plays second base, Nick Senzel is at third, Jack Suwinski holds down left field, and Hyeseong Kim rounds out the infield at shortstop. The Dodgers will rely on Roki Sasaki to deliver a strong performance from the mound.

The bullpen will feature Tanner Scott, Alex Vesia, and Ben Casparius, all slated to see action during Tuesday night’s game. Additionally, the minor league pitchers active for the game include Cam Day (90), Cody Morse (91), Nicolas Cruz (92), Jacob Frost (94), and Nick Robertson (97), providing depth and potential for strong performances.

On the bench, the Dodgers have two non-roster invitees, Ryan Fitzgerald and catcher Seby Zavala, ready to contribute. They will also have reinforcement from minor league camp with Eduardo Quintero (06), Jesus Galiz (07), Damon Keith (08), Kole Myers (87), Yeiner Fernandez (88), Kyle Nevin (93), and Logan Wagner (95) all making the jump to join the team for this pivotal matchup.
