Jace Peterson On Track To Start At Third Base
3 years agoThe Milwaukee Brewers haven't officially ruled out third baseman Luis Urias (quadriceps) for Opening Day due to his left quad injury, but manager Craig Counsell said this weekend that it's "getting less likely" that he'll be active on Opening Day on April 7 against the Cubs. Jace Peterson, Mike Brosseau and Pablo Reyes could all see time at the hot corner until Urias is ready, but Peterson makes the most sense to start on Opening Day against a right-handed pitcher. Peterson is known more for his defense, but he did have an .820 OPS in the first half in 2021. He last played in an Opening Day game in 2017 with the Braves and last started on Opening Day in 2016.
