Analysis:

Wieters appears to be on schedule in his bid to return by Opening Day. While he has had no setbacks in his rehabilitation, Wieters did suggest that he may not be able to catch games initially in spring training. It is reasonable to think Wieters could get himself into Opening Day form in less than a month, so it could be early-to-mid-March before we find out if Wieters is actually behind schedule by not getting game action in spring training.
