Corbin Carroll - Plays six innings in spring debut Carroll started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's spring game against Colorado.
Impact Carroll was part of a contingent of Diamondbacks regulars that made their Cactus League debuts Saturday. He'll land in right or center field, depending on whether Alek Thomas or Jake McCarthy wins a starting spot in the outfield. But where Carroll lands defensively is of less concern than his season-opening slump in 2024 that lingered through the first half (.635 OPS). He eventually turned it around in the second half, posting a .919 OPS and reestablishing the reputation earned in 2023 when Carroll won the NL Rookie of the Year Award.

Blaze Alexander - Makes spring debut Alexander started at second base and went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's spring game against the Rockies.
Impact Alexander is expected to play multiple infield positions in a quest to claim a utility role on the Opening Day roster. It's the same role Kevin Newman held last season, but he signed with the Angels in the offseason. The questions surrounding Alexander in first exposure to MLB in 2024 was his defense and the downturn at the plate after a strong April. His primary competition for a roster spot are Garrett Hampson and Ildemaro Vargas.

Zac Veen - Flashes power Saturday Veen went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's Cactus League win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Veen's stock has fallen in recent years, in large part due to injuries. He reminded everyone of his ability in the spring opener with a long, loud homer that was estimated at 433 feet, per Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com. It still doesn't seem like he's a realistic candidate for the Opening Day roster given that he has just 21 games' worth of experience at the Triple-A level, but the speedy outfielder is now on the Rockies' 40-man roster and figures to debut in the majors at some point in 2025, health permitting.
