MERRILL KELLY NEWS

Will start Sunday Widener will start Sunday night's exhibition game against the Dodgers, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Widener impressed pitching coach Matt Herges during summer camp, but he was not a serious candidate for the No. 5 starter job that officially went to Merrill Kelly on Saturday. The Diamondbacks will use Widener and Taylor Clarke (Monday) for the two exhibition games in Los Angeles. It's unclear if either player will be on the Opening Day roster, but both should serve as depth starters and/or bulk-inning pitchers this season.

Goes yard twice Marte belted a pair of home runs during Monday's intrasquad game, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marte tagged Merrill Kelly in the first inning, then got to him again later. "I'm not surprised by what he's doing," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. "He's locked in right now. It's what every hitter looks to get to." He hit well in spring training and has continued to rake in camp. Marte terrorized pitchers in 2019, smacking 32 home runs with a .263 ISO.
