Kreidler will not make Detroit's Opening Day roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Pressreports.

Kreidler hit a grand slam in his fifth spring training contest, though he has only one other hit across eight at-bats. He could be close to his major-league debut after he racked up 162 plate appearances at Triple-A Toledo and hit .304/.407/.519 to close the 2021 season. However, his path to the majors is complicated by the fact that he is not on the 40-man roster and that his primary positions -- shortstop and third base -- are occupied by Javier Baez and Jeimer Candelario.
