I'm guessing the pitching staff shakes out like this when team breaks spring training:
Rotation: Fried, Soroka, Folty, Newk, one of Wilson/Wright/Touki
Lefty Relievers: Smith, Minter, Dayton
Right Relievers: Melancon, Greene, O'Day, Jackson, one of Wilson/Wright/Touki/Webb/Sobotka
Lefties in AAA: Muller, Davidson, Clouse, Pfeiffer, Burrows
Righties in AAA: Aside from the guys already listed above, Anderson, Ynoa, Weigel, Walker
I'm ok giving Newk one last shot as a starter, but it shouldn't be a long leash. He either does the job out of the gate or gets replaced.
