Will Justin Dirden Break Camp On The Major League Roster?

Whether due to injuries, personal matters, or the World Baseball Classic, the Astros have had plenty of playing time to distribute among their prospects at camp. Someone has to absorb the innings or at-bats left behind. Based on the Spring Training leaderboards, I think that a few prospects have likely made a positive impression on the organization for the upcoming 2023 season. Sooner or later, these same players will be called upon in the event of injuries or underperformance. Forrest Whitley, for example, has probably created a bit of optimism even despite his allowing four runs in 6 23 innings and being a recent option to minor league camp.
