Ross could see regular time in the outfield against left-handed starters if the Diamondbacks keep him on their roster through Opening Day, the team's official site reports. Entering the final season of a three-year, $26 million deal, the Diamondbacks would willingly flip Ross to another club in need of outfield depth, but they'd likely have to eat salary in order to make a move. With David Peralta and Ender Inciarte offering left-handed bats on the Arizona bench, Ross provides balance, albeit without the ability to slot in as an option in center field. Keep in mind, however, that Ross wasn't rehabbing an injury this offseason as he was forced to a year ago while recovering from hip surgery, but the small side of a platoon doesn't offer much in the way of playing time volume if he remains in Arizona.
