Reds' Chase Burns to Start Cactus League Opener Saturday

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Chase Burns is slated to start the team's Cactus League opener on Saturday afternoon against Cleveland. Burns is currently competing for a final spot in the starting rotation, having finished last season healthy despite a mid-season forearm shutdown. While his arsenal is considered one of the best, his selection for the opener doesn't necessarily mean he's ahead of other rotation candidates like Rhett Lowder, Brandon Williamson, and Julian Aguiar.
