The D-backs held their first full-squad workout Monday, and position players faced pitchers in batting practice Tuesday. They begin Cactus League play Friday against the Rockies at their shared Spring Training facility.
Both the D-backs and Rockies will wear Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School baseball caps Friday in a league-wide show of support for the Parkland, Fla., community after the tragic shooting at the school on Feb. 14. Players will sign the caps and auction them, with proceeds going toward the Broward Education Fund, which benefits the official Stoneman Douglas Victims' Fund.
