I guess OPhtani hasn't pitched yet, right?

That's a bold assumption to make for someone who's played all of 8.1 innings at non-P/DH positions. Not to mention he hasn't played any OF since 2021 and he'll be turning 31 this year. And as @broncosmitty said, it's too risky to play him in the OF anyway. I don't disagree that he has the tools to play corner OF, but is it really worth the risk? Just prioritize keeping his bat healthy.

Fair points. In a vacuum he obviously is built for right field but maybe he won’t play there when he’s done pitching
