Mark Vientos, who has limited major league experience at first base, is looking to increase his playing time at the position this season due to Jorge Polanco’s expected role as DH. After getting game action at first base during a Grapefruit League game, Vientos expressed his desire for more reps to build comfort. Coaches believe he may be better suited for first base than third, where he has faced defensive challenges. Meanwhile, Ryan Clifford and Cristian Pache are also working to secure their spots in the outfield, with Clifford focusing on contact consistency and Pache aiming to reclaim a major league role.
