What exactly is the Dodgers’ plan for Alex Verdugo?

With top prospect Alex Verdugo still with the organization and the team opening up right field, it’s going to be him … right? Not so fast.
Dave Roberts expects Cody Bellinger to play most in right field, with A.J. Pollock set in center. Bellinger did not start a game in right last year.
