MLB Prospects Shine Before Dodgers-Cubs Tokyo Opener

Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Los Angeles Dodgers' scheduled Opening Day starter, made a promising start in his Cactus League debut, pitching 1-2/3 scoreless innings against the Chicago Cubs. This performance highlights his readiness for the Dodgers' season opener against the Cubs in Tokyo on March 18, marking the start of the MLB season. Dalton Rushing, a top prospect for the Dodgers, is gaining valuable experience by leading strategy meetings with All-Stars and veteran pitchers. Other notable prospects include the Royals' Caglianone, known for his hitting, and Miami's De Los Santos, celebrated for his home runs. Bobby Miller of the Dodgers had a scare on the mound but walked off unassisted, indicating a minor issue. Shohei Ohtani is anticipated to make his spring debut later this month.
