The first baseman/outfielder hit .259 with five home runs and 13 RBIs. He struck out 19 times and drew six walks.
Toglia, essentially, beat out Sean Bouchard for the job. Bouchard, the favorite to win the starting job in right field when camp opened, hit just .205 with one homer and four RBIs. Bouchard will begin the season at Triple-A Albuquerque.
Veteran Alan Trejo also made the opening-day roster as the utility infielder. Trejo will have to be added to the 40-man roster, but the club has not yet announced a corresponding move.
