He made the roster. After a slow start this spring Johnson started connecting at the plate and it has paid off for him. Thus far, he has a spring slash line of .277/.404/.511 with an OPS of .914. He will serve as a soft platoon option in LF with Jonny Gomes. Johnson will also serve as a super-utility player capable of playing 1B, 2B, 3B, and in the outfield. (Jeff Passan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson should get plenty of playing time but not being a regular hurts his fantasy value somewhat. Still, he would not be a bad addition to those in deeper leagues.
