Here¡¯s everything you need to know:

Which position players are expected to play?
Nimmala and Martinez lead the hitting group, representing some of the highest upside in the organization, while outfielder Alan Roden (No. 5) will carry some great momentum into the game as he continues to fight for a roster spot early in the season.
In terms of prospects who could make an impact on the Blue Jays in the short term, you¡¯ll also see shortstop Josh Kasevich (No. 7), speedy Canadian outfielder Dasan Brown (No. 28) and the towering, power-hitting first baseman, Peyton Williams (No. 29).
Which pitching prospects are expected to play?
The Blue Jays have grown their middle- and upper-level pitching depth, which you¡¯ll see plenty of. That group includes Jake Bloss (No. 6), who could pitch for the Blue Jays in a number of roles this season.
You¡¯ll also see Kendry Rojas (No. 10) and Khal Stephen (No. 11). Keep the name Mason Fluharty (No. 19) in mind, too The funky left-hander is quietly making a very real case to be part of the Blue Jays¡¯ long-term bullpen plans.

Why are certain top prospects not listed on the roster?
Injuries will keep you from seeing some of the Blue Jays' top pitching prospects, unfortunately, which has been too common of a story over the past year for this club. Ricky Tiedemann (No. 4) is still working his way back from elbow surgery, and the same goes for Landen Maroudis (No. 8), who will return to the mound early this season and is dripping with upside.
