Padres right-hander Jhony Brito is expected to be healthy and battle for a rotation spot after recovering from a right elbow sprain.

Fantasy Impact

Brito might be eased along slowly early in camp but the expectation is for him to be healthy enough to compete for a rotation spot. The 26-year-old posted a 4.12 ERA in 26 outings (all in relief) for the Friars last season but should find himself in the mix for the fifth spot in the starting rotation this spring.

The Padres recalled Jhony Brito and placed him on the 60-day IL with a right elbow sprain.
