JACOB NOTTINGHAM NEWS

Making spring debut Nottingham (thumb) will serve as the Brewers' designated hitter and will bat ninth Sunday in Milwaukee's Cactus League game against the Mariners.

Impact Nottingham will be making his spring debut after the Brewers brought him along slowly to start camp while he worked back from December surgery on his left thumb. Though the thumb no longer appears to be troubling Nottingham at the plate, he'll have to prove he can handle catching duties without issue in order to make a run at an Opening Day roster spot.

Impact He is still not ready to catch in games while recovering from left thumb surgery, but this is an encouraging step. Nottingham projects to open the year in extended spring training, as Omar Narvaez and Manny Pina seem to have a pretty firm hold on the top two spots on the depth chart at catcher.

There's no guarantee he wins a job, however, as Omar Narvaez and Manny Pina (knee) are also on the roster.
