Andrew Knapp Stats

The Pittsburgh Pirates are making a move to sign catcher Andrew Knapp, according to Pirates beat writer Jason Mackey. Knapp opted out of his contract with the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. He will join the Pirates as a backup behind starter Roberto Perez. Knapp spent each of the first five years of his big league career with the Philadelphia Phillies, but he was outrighted by the team after the 2021 season. The 30-year-old is better known for his defensive abilities than his bat. Over 309 games in the majors, he has a .214/.314/.322 slash line and 13 home runs.

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Andrew Knapp went 2-for-4 with a run scored in a win over the Cubs on Wednesday. Knapp scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the ninth to secure a walk-off win for the Phillies. The veteran backstop has been seeing more playing time lately as J.T. Realmuto (shoulder) has been nursing a shoulder injury and has been seeing time at first base as a result. That means more at-bats for Knapp, though he's still a ways away from being fantasy relevant as he's batting just .160 on the season.

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Andrew Knapp (side) was a last-minute scratch from the lineup just prior to first pitch on Sunday, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. Zolecki reports that Knapp was scratched due to tightness in his left side, and he was replaced by Rafael Marchan in the lineup. With Knapp out, the Phillies have no healthy position players on their bench, as J.T. Realmuto, Bryce Harper and Didi Gregorius are also dealing with injuries. Managers should check for further updates from the team following the game, as it's likely there could be some transactions coming shortly involving players landing on the injured list.
