Wieters (elbow) will be the team's DH to start spring training, MLB Network Radio reports.Wieters appears to be making good progress as he returns from Tommy John surgery last June, but his return behind the plate may be a bit delayed. Manager Buck Showalter indicated that Wieters would remain the DH for at least the first two weeks of spring training, so while he's on track to return by Opening Day, it could be in a limited capacity initially.
