Blake Dunn, Jacob Hurtubise Make Opening Day Roster
3 days agoCincinnati Reds outfielders Blake Dunn and Jacob Hurtubise have both made the team's Opening Day roster, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Charlie Goldsmith. Austin Hays (calf) will begin the year on the injured list, while the club also designated Stuart Fairchild for assignment. Dunn, 26, was excellent this spring with a .340/.404/.574 slash line, two homers, three doubles, a triple, eight RBI and a steal in 24 Cactus League games. The right-handed hitter could see some run early in the year with Spencer Steer (shoulder) limited to DH duties and Hays on the shelf. Hurtubise, 27, who bats left-handed, also earned a roster spot with a strong spring, going 11-for-38 (.289) with three doubles, two triples, three RBI and five steals in 23 spring training contests. He could be in play for the short side of a platoon in left with Dunn to begin the 2025 season.
