Wallner started at DH and hit leadoff in Thursday's spring training loss to Pittsburgh. He's batted leadoff in all three of his appearances this spring, going 1-for-7.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear if he'll be used as a leadoff hitter during the regular season while filling a strong-side platoon role in right field, but the early-spring assignment is encouraging. Wallner is fully healthy after his last season ended prematurely in September due to an oblique strain.
