Ken Griffey Jr. went 0-for-3 in his first Spring Training game of 2009, but perhaps more importantly was the opportunity for him to play left field.

"Griff hasn't played left field much at all," manager Don Wakamatsu told MLB.com on Tuesday. "We want to get him out there and get (him) acclimated to it."

Griffey is expected to DH on Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers and return to left field Saturday against the Oakland Athletics.
