Playing center field in B gameBellinger (shoulder) will play center field but won't bat in the B game against the White Sox on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
ImpactThe 25-year-old is starting in center field in the B game against the White Sox, but he's apparently yet to be cleared to hit live pitching. Bellinger has been hitting on the field, so he doesn't seem far off from playing in regular spring games. The 2019 NL MVP is still expected to be ready for Opening Day, barring any setbacks.

Held back by blisterEspinoza hasn't been throwing due to a blister on a finger on his right hand, but he could get into a game sometime next week, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
ImpactEspinoza is in camp looking to show that his stuff can still play following a pair of Tommy John surgeries that have kept him from pitching professionally since 2016. Fortunately, the blister issue is minor in comparison, and it appears that Espinoza isn't far away from making his spring debut. The right-hander will likely open the season in the lower levels of the minors.
