CARY, N.C. (AP) - Pitchers Homer Bailey, Edwin Jackson and David Robertson, catcher Matt Wieters, infielder Todd Frazier and outfielders Matt Kemp and John Jay were among 28 players announced for a U.S. training camp ahead of the Americans’ second chance to qualify for the Olympic baseball tournament.
Left-hander Clayton Andrews and right-hander Brandon Dickson are the only holdovers from the 28-man roster in November 2019, when the U.S. was three outs from qualifying for the Olympics at the Premier12 tournament in Tokyo before wasting a ninth-inning lead in a loss to Mexico.
Only players not on 26-man major league rosters are eligible.
