Beer went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's spring game against the Reds.
Beer launched his first Cactus League home run in the first inning. He opened 2022 as part of the DH mix and hit well early, but a prolonged slump prompted a demotion to Triple-A Reno, where he languished with a .796 OPS in a hitter-friendly environment. The Diamondbacks have a plethora of DH candidates, and there's little room for him at first base, so Beer may have to recapture his offense at Reno in 2023.
