Manager Terry Collins admitted Saturday that there's a chance Plawecki is left off the Opening Day roster, Matt Ehalt of the Bergen Record reports.
Plawecki smacked a two-run homer off Tyler Lyons during Saturday's spring game with the Cardinals, but the skipper offered up a sobering dose of reality after the exhibition. While some sort of timeshare with Plawecki and top option Travis d'Arnaud would make sense to keep both players healthy for the long haul, near-everyday at-bats in the minors would allow Plawecki to stay sharp until there's a more pressing need for his services at the major league level.
