SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- While Monday was technically reporting day for D-backs pitchers and catchers, the reality is most of them, as well as position players, have been working out at Salt River Fields for a while now.
There was still that first-day-of-school feel around the complex, though, with right-hander Archie Bradley admitting he had some trouble sleeping on Sunday night just from the anticipation of it all.
Pitchers and catchers will work out Tuesday and position players report Thursday, with the first full-squad workout coming on Friday.
"It felt good to get back out and throw the ball around a little bit and just get moving around a little bit and be around the guys," left-hander Robbie Ray said.
