Zach Levine's Cliff's Notes

Zach Levine has the short version of what we should be keeping our eye on this Spring.

A couple of things of note:

-Is there concern about Wandy Rodriguez?
There is none. Wandy Rodriguez and the Astros believe his struggles are not injury-related, and he's working out some kinks. But he's someone to watch closely after nine runs in five innings.

-Wesley Wright's role
Wesley Wright could be squeezed out of the bullpen mix if Sammy Gervacio or any other young pitcher emerges as a candidate.

Cuts will be made on Sunday, and there are some high-profile games with the Red Sox and Yankees to play this week, so if someone is going to distinguish themselves, it needs to happen soon.
