Alongside Casas and the other holdovers, this year’s roster features eight new players. Duvall, Jansen, Kluber, Martin, Tapia, Turner, and Yoshida were all brought in as free agents, while Bleier was acquired via trade.
Starting on this season’s injured list are Brayan Bello, Wyatt Mills, James Paxton, Joely Rodriguez, and Garrett Whitlock on the 15-day, and Adalberto Mondesi and Trevor Story on the 60-day IL.
