The 2023 opening day left fielder for the Phillies, Jake Cave earned a spot on the roster on the strength of his solid spring training.  He had played in parts of five seasons with the Twins before coming to Philadelphia, spending time as a back-up at all three outfield spots and at designated hitter.  Cave's best season to date was his first, when he batted .265 with 13 home runs and 45 RBIs for the Twins in 2018.  The Phillies were the second team to claim Cave off waivers during the offseason, with the Orioles picking him up on October 11th and the Phillies adding him a month and a half later on December 2nd.
