  • William Contreras homers, Brewers demolish Pirates
    William Contreras went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and four RBI on Wednesday, leading the Brewers to a decisive 10-2 victory over the Pirates.

    Advice: Contreras is rapidly evolving into one of the premier four-category contributors in the entire fantasy landscape as his latest three-hit performance, his sixth of the season, raises his batting average to an astronomical .359 mark through 43 contests. The 26-year-old backstop crushed a three-run homer off Pirates southpaw Martín Pérez in the third inning and also added an RBI triple a couple frames later as Milwaukee hit five homers in a blowout victory. He’s up to 39 runs scored and 34 homers already to go along with six homers and three steals as well. There isn’t much left to say at this point besides legitimately asking if he’s going to surpass Orioles superstar Adley Rutschman as the consensus top catcher in fantasy at some point in the future.

  • Heads back to the bench
    Stubbs is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: While J.T. Realmuto managed a sore knee, Stubbs started behind the plate in each of the past three games, going 1-for-12 with a stolen base. Realmuto is back in the lineup at catcher Wednesday, and provided he doesn't experience any setbacks with his knee, he should take on a hefty workload moving forward. Prior to Realmuto's recent absence, Stubbs had started in just six of the Phillies' first 40 games of the season. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm
     
  • Makes return to lineup
    Realmuto (knee) will start at catcher and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Realmuto will re-enter the starting nine after sitting out each of the past three games while managing a sore right knee. Provided he doesn't experience any setbacks in his return to action, Realmuto should resume handling one of the heftier workloads in the league among No. 1 catchers, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Phillies gave him a breather later this week or had him serve as a designated hitter for a game.

  • J.T. Realmuto returns from sore knee
    J.T. Realmuto is back in the Phillies lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Mets.

    Advice: He’s catching and batting second tonight after missing the last three games with knee soreness. Rotoworld Today, 12:05 pm
     
  • Mitch Garver (back) likely available off bench
    Mitch Garver could be available off the bench Wednesday after missing Tuesday’s game with back spasms.

    Advice: Nice to see that Garver is apparently feeling better. Mitch Haniger is starting at DH today. Rotoworld Today, 11:29 am
     
  • Out Wednesday with back spasms
    Garver (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: He'll remain on the bench for the second day in a row while he manages upper-back spasms. Mitch Haniger will get a day out of the outfield and serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Garver rests up. Rotowire.com Today, 11:05 am
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: He'll get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon game after starting behind the plate both of the past two days while going 4-for-9 with two doubles and three runs. Luke Maile will get the starting nod behind the plate in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
     
  • Getting rest day
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Grandal will take a seat for the day game after he started behind the plate in both of the previous two nights, going 1-for-7 with a home run. Joey Bart will replace Grandal on Wednesday as the Pirates' starting catcher. Rotowire.com Today, 10:03 am
     
  • Sitting again Wednesday
    Bethancourt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Bethancourt will sit for the second day in a row while Nick Fortes receives another turn behind the plate. Neither Bethancourt (.349 OPS) nor Fortes (.336 OPS) has been productive at the plate this season and both typically bat near the bottom of the order when included in the lineup, making it difficult to extract any fantasy value from the Marlins' catching situation.
