Barrosa is hitting .324 with three doubles, two triples, two home runs and eight RBI across 37 Cactus League plate appearances, and his ability to play all three outfield positions adds to his case for one of three remaining bench spots. Being out of minor-league options gives him a further advantage over the competition. (Steve Gilbert)
Fantasy Impact:
The other candidates for those spots are Tim Tawa, Jacob Amaya and Ildemaro Vargas, with Amaya and Vargas both non-roster invitees who would require Arizona to clear 40-man roster space. Barrosa is also in line to provide outfield depth while Lourdes Gurriel (knee) works his way back.
