Impact Ponce de Leon had already made a formidable case for an Opening Day roster spot with an impressive spring before play was paused, and the expanded rosters that will be in play for approximately the first month of the 60-game season only enhance his chances. The versatile right-hander tweaked his cutter and curveball grips during the shutdown, and he utilized those pitches alongside his changeup and fastball during Saturday's workout. Ponce de Leon also maintained a regular throwing routine over the last three-plus months, as he was able to play catch frequently at a local park and throw bullpen sessions twice a week at Stetson College near his home in Florida.
