Griffin's potential debut on Opening Day would have been a historic moment, marking the first time a teenager started on Opening Day since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1989. The 19-year-old outfielder showcased flashes of his talent during spring training, hitting .171 with four home runs and nine RBIs in 16 games.
