Status unclear Wednesday Nichols has not appeared yet in Wednesday's game and has reportedly missed some time recently due to an injury of unknown severity, Kevin McNamara of The Providence Journal reports...

Impact Nichols averaged 11.5 minutes per game in 2018-19 and 11.8 in his five appearances last year, so he should make his mark off the bench when available. It's unclear exactly when his debut will occur, but it seems he may be sidelined for Wednesday's opener.

Coming off bench to begin season Croswell will come off the bench in Wednesday's season opener against Fairfield.

Impact Croswell was recently deemed eligible to play this season as a transfer from La Salle. He averaged 10.4 points on over 60 percent shooting from the field last season. Croswell may very well start at some point this season, but for now will come off the bench.

Receives extra rest day Manager Jayce Tingler said Drew Pomeranz received Tuesday's save opportunity since Yates was receiving an extra day of rest, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yates pitched on back-to-back days over the weekend and threw 28 pitches in his last outing Sunday when he gave up two runs and was charged with the loss, so Tingler opted to given him a couple days to refresh. The 33-year-old converted 41 of 44 save chances with a 1.19 ERA and 0.89 WHIP last season and appears to have a firm grasp on the closer's job, but it's still interesting to see Pomeranz receiving the Friars' first save opportunity of the season. Yates should be available going forward as the top option for the ninth inning after the strenuous opening weekend.

May crack starting rotation Manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday that Sandoval (illness) has a "good shot" of opening the season in the six-man rotation, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander started Wednesday's exhibition game against the Friars and got tagged for five runs on six hits over three frames, but Maddon has apparently liked what he's seen in summer training. Sandoval was late to camp after testing positive for COVID-19, but the delayed start doesn't appear to have significantly impacted his path to a rotation spot. The 23-year-old made his big-league debut in 2019 and had a 5.03 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 10 outings.
