Does Kyle Wright beat out Huascar Ynoa for the 4-5 rotation spot?
-- @coachelkins706
Let’s just start by saying Charlie Morton, Max Fried and Ian Anderson are the only three projected locks for the Opening Day rotation. With Ynoa possibly given extra time to prepare after ending last year with a sore shoulder, the top candidates for the final two rotation spots are currently Wright, Kyle Muller, Touki Toussaint and Tucker Davidson. Toussaint and Davidson both completed two innings during Monday’s 5-0 loss to the Red Sox at JetBlue Park.
My anticipation is Anthopoulos will attempt to add a starter once teams start making roster moves near the end of Spring Training. Remember his late spring addition of Aníbal Sánchez in 2018? If he can find something that valuable, the rotation might be just fine this year.
I'd like to see Ynoa and Muller take the four and five slots in the rotation. I like power arms, and those two are some dudes.

Atlanta Braves OF Ronald Acuna Jr. still rehabbing knee, won't play in any spring training games
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. won't see game action in spring training, even as a designated hitter, as it becomes increasingly likely he will miss at least the first month of the regular season.
"No. You won't see him in a spring game," manager Brian Snitker said after Atlanta's 4-0 win over Minnesota on Tuesday.
Acuna, recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee suffered midway through last season, expressed hope at the start of spring training that he would be ready for the defending World Series champion Braves' opener April 7. There had been speculation the universal DH would provide a path for Acuna's return to the lineup earlier than if he had to play in the outfield.
Instead, the Braves continue to take a cautious approach to the rehabilitation process for Acuna, the team's unquestioned biggest star after Freddie Freeman's free-agent signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Well,... shite
