Yasmany Tomas seeing time at first base in camp could increase chances of making Diamondbacks' roster

The odds still appear stacked against Yasmany Tomas when it comes to his chances of making the Opening Day roster, but the Diamondbacks are opening a possible avenue for it to happen.

The club had Tomas working out at first base on Tuesday morning at Salt River Fields, a position that could allow him to find his way into the lineup against left-handed pitching.

“We feel like he has the ability to go out there,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “He’s a former third baseman and those instincts don’t really leave infielders.”
