Third dimension: McMahon prepares to step in for Arenado

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon is in line to get the first crack at filling in for Nolan Arenado at third base

Healthy for spring training Rodgers (shoulder) is fully healthy to begin spring training and could compete for time at second base, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodgers missed the final month of the 2020 season due to what was considered a minor right shoulder strain, but he felt healthy during the offseason and continued to add muscle. He'll compete for the starting job at second base with Garrett Hampson this spring, and he could enter Cactus League play as the favorite for the role with Ryan McMahon shifting to the hot corner, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports. He'll also take grounders at shortstop and third base and could take over as the starting shortstop if the team trades Trevor Story this season. The 24-year-old has been limited by shoulder injuries in each of his first two major-league seasons and slashed .196/.235/.227 with nine home runs and a 32.4 percent strikeout rate over 32 games across the past two years.

Likely in utility role Hampson likely will begin the season in a reserve role and could operate as a utility player, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The addition of the designated hitter to the National League this season should bring additional opportunities, but it appears to be a more indirect benefit for the 25-year-old. Beyond the utility usage, Hampson should see somewhat regular time at the keystone as starter Ryan McMahon should cover first base when Daniel Murphy serves as the DH. However, top prospect Brendan Rodgers and veteran Chris Owings are also in the mix as options at second base.

Remains primary first baseman Murphy has looked improved defensively at first base during spring and summer training and is expected to be the primary starter there in 2020, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The implementation of the universal designated hitter for the shortened season should be a benefit for the 35-year-old, but manager Bud Black indicated the team's best lineup is with Murphy in the field. Still, the veteran slugger will see some time as the DH this season to help keep him fresh, especially with the limited off days. Starting second baseman Ryan McMahon likely will slide over to first base in those instances, while Garrett Hampson, Brendan Rodgers and Chris Owings split time at the keystone.
