Cooper Bowman sees time in left field during Cactus League action

Cooper Bowman started in left field and went 0-for-2 in Sunday's spring game against San Francisco.

Fantasy Impact

A Rule 5 selection this offseason, Bowman is known for his defensive versatility, with experience at second base, shortstop, and center field. Manager Terry Francona has given him reps at first base and left field early in camp, increasing his chances of making the team. “The more versatile he is, the better,” Francona told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. While Bowman is 0-for-5 through two Cactus League games, his ability to play multiple positions could give him an edge in securing a spot on the Reds' Opening Day roster.
