I asked Sam that very question this morning. Said he and Rieder have talked it over, and Rieder will start by taking the draws. If Rieder is struggling or they want a different look at some point, Bennett will jump in.

Bennett had a shoulder injury didn't he? Jumping right back into taking draws might be a tough ask. Similar to how Monahan didn't take draws for awhile after his wrist surgery.
