Dodgers Detail Late Spring Ramp for Veterans as Muncy Debuts, Team Opens 6-0

Manager Dave Roberts says stars will use the six-week camp to build up at-bats rather than rush into early games.

Overview

  • Max Muncy said veterans prioritized offseason rest after consecutive championships and agreed to begin ramping later in camp.
  • He added that some players were not ready for the first week of Cactus League games but are slated for more than 50 spring at-bats to prepare.
  • Dave Roberts explained Mookie Betts started later by design to build gradually and said Betts will be in the lineup soon.
  • Roberts outlined the top of the order with Shohei Ohtani leading off, Kyle Tucker batting second and Freddie Freeman hitting cleanup.
  • Los Angeles improved to 6-0 in Cactus League play as Muncy went 1-for-3 in his spring debut, and Opening Day is March 26 against Arizona on NBC/Peacock.
