Julio Rodriguez smashes 3-run HR in spring training (0:26)

Rodriguez hit a three-run home run against the Padres. There is a time and a place.

The top prospect on the team has made the opening day roster.

Rodriguez is the third overall prospect in Major League Baseball. He is one of the top three prospects to make an opening day roster. Adley Rutschman will not be ready for opening day because of a right triceps strain.

Rodriguez has a.409 batting average with three home runs and eight RBIs in the Cactus League. He is expected to be the center fielder.

It is time for Julio Rodriguez to play in the big leagues, according to Servais.

Rodriguez excelled at every level he played in last season, finishing with a.347 batting average, 13 home runs and 47 runs scored, and he helped the Dominican Republic win the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

The Twins will play the Mariners in Minnesota on Thursday.
