Sam Hilliard - Significant struggles in spring Hilliard has gone 2-for-21 with 11 strikeouts in Cactus League action.

Impact Hilliard was expected to make the Opening Day roster as the primary backup center fielder with the chance to also start at a corner position. His defense could still earn him a roster spot, but Sean Bouchard's strong start to spring training is hurting Hilliard's outlook, per Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post.

JP Sears - Rounding into regular season form Sears gave up one run over three innings with four strikeouts in Saturday's spring training win over Arizona. He has a 3.38 ERA with a 8:4 K:BB ratio in eight innings this spring.

Impact Sears looks in regular season form as Opening Day approaches. He's locked in as the No. 3 starter for the A's after leading the team in in innings and wins last season. While Sears lacks strikeouts (18.1% K% last season) he features good control (6.5% BB%).

Tyler Kinley - Perfect in spring outings Kinley has not allowed a run and has a 6:1 K:BB across four innings of Cactus League action.

Impact Kinley is among the top candidates to begin the season as Colorado's closer, and he's performed very well to begin spring training. He earned a career-high 12 saves with the Rockies in 2024, though that was paired with an ugly 6.19 ERA and 1.47 WHIP.

Chase Dollander - Struggling in spring starts Dollander allowed five runs on two hits and four walks across 1.2 innings in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Athletics.

Impact Dollander has had a tough spring from a run prevention standpoint, though he had a 7:1 K:BB across five innings and his first two exhibition starts. However, that changed Saturday when he struggled significantly with his control, which led to another ugly outing. Dollander entered the spring as a strong candidate to earn a rotation spot, but it's unclear if his current form will effect that outlook.
