| Team | Today’s Game (ET) | Pitching Matchup (’24 Stats at Level) |
| Rochester | @ Buffalo, 4:05 p.m. | Alvarez (4-7, 4.58) vs. Lauer (4-5, 5.26) |
The forecasted rains appear to have shifted from the afternoon to evening in Buffalo, where the Red Wings are slated to begin the 2025 season. But it’ll still be fairly cold, putting the the Bisons’ 50-degree guarantee to the test.
Unfortunately, like two years ago, the official press release for the the Red Wings’ Opening Day roster has not been officially released (as far as I can tell) despite the big club playing yesterday.[Insert joke about yesterday’s bullpen implosion here].
Should the press release come this morning—and I’m able to steal a few minutes to update this post, natch—I’ll link to what will most likely be a PDF of the roster.
UPDATE: The Red Wings’ Opening Day Roster is now in hand (H/T to Matt Toohey)
As you might expect, there are several current watchlist players…
| PITCHERS | INFIELDERS | OUTFIELDERS |
| LHP Andrew Alvarez | Darren Baker | Robert Hassell |
| RHP Andry Lara | Brady House | Andrew Pinckney |
| RHP Jack Sinclair |
…and several former watchlisters, including the Jacksons (Cluff and Rutledge), Brady Lindsly, Trey Lipscomb, Drew Millas, and Carlos Romero.
