The Rainbow Warriors open the season Feb. 7 against Hawaii Hilo. Head coach Mike Trapasso said outfielder Adam Fogel, who missed all but 10 games last season because of a shoulder injury, is able to swing comfortably. Infielder Dustin Demeter is “100% healthy” after missing the 2019 season following surgeries to both hips. Demeter, who has started at shortstop and second, is among the candidates to play third.
