Although his next start has been moved to the back fields to face (unfortunate) minor leaguers, Jake Arrieta starts today in a Cactus League game against the Padres (which is also how you know that moving his next start is not for any worrisome reason).
Arrieta made his first start of the Spring last week, and it was a dominating, short affair. After Arrieta departs, Pierce Johnson and Carl Edwards, Jr. are among the pitchers scheduled to see action.
Today’s game is not televised, but you can listen at MLB.com. For future reference, you can check which games will be televised here.
