Diamondbacks' Hellickson wins spot in rotation, will start 3rd game

Jeremy Hellickson has landed the third spot in the Arizona Diamondbacks rotation, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Hellickson will start the third game of the season for the Diamondbacks despite having some struggles in spring training. He has a 6.0 ERA and has allowed 20 hits in 12 innings this spring. For now, Hellickson's spot in the rotation is safe, but he'll need to improve once the regular season get underway to maintain his job security.
