GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Time flies during an abridged Spring Training.

The Dodgers break camp on March 11, after which they'll depart for Japan, where they open the regular season against the Cubs in the Tokyo Series from March 18-19. Most of the team's roster spots are essentially set, but there are question marks at second base, center field and the bullpen.

Here’s an updated projection of how the 26-man roster could look come Opening Day:

Catcher (2): Will Smith, Austin Barnes
The Dodgers are running back this duo behind the plate. Smith is dealing with a bone bruise on his left ankle that he sustained last June, but he expects to play through any lingering pain, just as he did last season. He said he mostly feels the ankle while running, and it hasn't affected him while swinging and catching.

First baseman (1): Freddie Freeman
Freeman didn't begin running until Cactus League games started, but he feels that his swing is in a good spot despite getting a late start to game action. Freeman reiterated that he expects to be ready in time for Opening Day, even though he will have to manage his surgically repaired right ankle throughout the first half of the regular season.

Second baseman (1): Tommy Edman
Hyeseong Kim appeared to have a good shot at seizing the job at second base, which was unsettled after the Dodgers traded Gavin Lux to the Reds in the offseason. Manager Dave Roberts has left open the possibility that Kim begins the season in the Minors to continue adjusting to facing higher velocities, which would likely mean Edman takes over at second base, where he won a Gold Glove Award in 2021.

Shortstop (1): Mookie Betts
Betts is slated to be the Dodgers’ Opening Day shortstop for the second year in a row -- but unlike in 2024, he had the entire offseason to prepare for the change of position. The Dodgers have several options capable of stepping in should Betts struggle making the transition, but the six-time Gold Glover in right field is determined to be elite at shortstop as well.

Third baseman (1): Max Muncy
Muncy missed more than three months with a right oblique strain in 2024, but he finished the championship run healthy and should once again be the regular at the hot corner. Muncy has started on Opening Day in six consecutive seasons (2019-21 at first base, ’22-24 at third), the longest streak among active Dodgers.

Outfielders (3): Michael Conforto, Teoscar Hernández, Andy Pages
Pages showed promise in his rookie season, especially against left-handers, and has earned a longer look in 2025. He profiles better in a corner, where he could spell Conforto in left or Hernández in right. But if Edman plays second base, then Pages might see a fair amount of time in center field.

Bench/Utility (3): Kiké Hernández, Miguel Rojas, Chris Taylor
Hernández and Taylor are both right-handed superutility options capable of playing both the infield and outfield. Rojas can back up Betts at shortstop and slot in elsewhere around the infield as needed.

Two-way player (1): Shohei Ohtani
Ohtani's two-way player status means that he won't count toward the Dodgers' 13-pitcher allotment, allowing the team to use a six-man rotation without being an arm short in the bullpen when he returns to the mound. The reigning NL MVP, who also had left shoulder surgery in November, expects to be ready for Opening Day as a hitter and hopes to pitch sometime in May.

Starting Pitchers (5): Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, Tony Gonsolin
Yamamoto and Sasaki are expected to start in the Tokyo Series, with Snell and Glasnow taking the ball in the Dodgers' two exhibition games at the Tokyo Dome. The frontrunners for the fifth spot are Gonsolin, Dustin May and Bobby Miller. Gonsolin gets the nod here for his track record, but all three could realistically start games for the Dodgers at some point this year.

Relief Pitchers (8): Anthony Banda, Ben Casparius, Dustin May, Luis García, Tanner Scott, Blake Treinen, Alex Vesia, Kirby Yates
With Evan Phillips and Michael Kopech expected to begin the season on the injured list, the door is open for whoever does not win the fifth spot in the rotation to make the 26-man roster as a long reliever. The Dodgers have plenty of high-leverage options even without Phillips and Kopech, and Scott will likely get the ball in most save situations.
