I was diehard!” He continued, “Fernando Mania in 1981!

With the schedule compressed to include just 60 games, there’s little time for teams to make big adjustments against pitchers.

Fortunately, Buxton only suffered a mild left-foot strain and could be back in action for Opening Day.

It appears each starter will be carrying a nearly full workload on day one because of the shape they’ve kept themselves in. Even still, two length options makes sense.

He’s worked tirelessly to rehab from labrum surgery in order to prepare himself for the 2020 season.
