LaMonte Wade - Likely to platoon again Wade has gone 3-for-14 with a home run and three RBI over his first five Cactus League games.

Righty hitters like Davis and Wilmer Flores could fill in at first base against opposing southpaws. Wade partially got back to his 2021 form last season, hitting .256 with a .790 OPS, 17 home runs, 45 RBI and 64 runs scored across a career-high 135 games.

Davis will presumably split time at third base, with Chapman being the go-to option against left-handed pitching (.890 OPS vs. LHP in 2023).
