Breaks ice at plateTrammell went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in a win over the Giants on Saturday, with the two-bagger serving as his first major-league hit.
ImpactThe promising 23-year-old earned an Opening Day roster spot with a strong Cactus League body of work both in the field and at the plate, but he'd gone 0-for-6 with a pair of walks and a run in his first two games before Saturday's double. Trammell is currently manning center field while Kyle Lewis recovers from a knee injury, and if he proves productive during his stint, he could conceivably take the everyday left-field job from Jake Fraley, which he already appeared on track to do this spring.

Stellar in hold situationGraveman was credited with his first hold in a win over the Giants on Saturday, recording five strikeouts over two hitless innings. He did not issue any walks but did hit a batter.
ImpactThe veteran right-hander was locked in during his 2021 regular-season debut, throwing first-pitch strikes to five of the seven hitters he faced and getting seven swinging strikes as well. The former starter's ability to work multiple innings out of the bullpen as he did Saturday is expected to be a valuable commodity throughout the season, and Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports manager Scott Servais was already raving about what he was able to get from Graveman in his first appearance. "Just unbelievable," Servais said. "The stuff was awesome. ... Phenomenal. If we continue to get those kind of efforts out of Gravey -- he emptied the tank in that second inning, we knew we were probably going to stretch him a little bit tonight, and he was throwing the ball so well."
