Adrian Houser - Making spring debutHouser (groin) is scheduled to start Monday's Cactus League game against the Royals.
ImpactHouser likely won't be asked to work more than two innings while he makes his first appearance since exiting a Sept. 27 start against the Cardinals last season due to a right groin strain. The Brewers provided no indication that Houser required offseason surgery to address the injury, so he was presumably able to go through a normal throwing progression over the winter to put him a good spot heading into spring training. Unless the Brewers elect to expand their Opening Day rotation to six men, Houser may have to settle for a long-relief role to begin the season if all of Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, Freddy Peralta, Eric Lauer and Wade Miley are available.

Charlie Blackmon - Making spring debut SundayBlackmon (knee) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter in Sunday's spring game against the Brewers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ImpactBlackmon ended the 2022 campaign on the injured list with a torn meniscus in his left knee, but he's ready to go early in spring training for the Rockies. The 36-year-old had a .264/.314/.419 slash line with 16 home runs and 78 RBI in 135 games last season, and he should serve as Colorado's primary designated hitter this year, which is the final season of his contract.

Kris Bryant - Makes spring training debutBryant started at designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a run scored in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.
ImpactBryant was limited to 42 games in 2022 due to a foot injury, but both he and the team have been positive about his health early in spring training. Bryant's first game action backed those positive reports, as he managed to score from first base on a double by Ryan McMahon in the opening frame. Bryant is expected to start primarily in left field this season, though he may continue to serve as the designated hitter during the exhibition season in an effort to protect his health.
