Andrew Knapp Stats

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.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed star catcher J.T. Realmuto on the COVID reserve list and recalled catcher Rafael Marchan from Triple-A. Backup Andrew Knapp will get his second straight start behind the dish on Thursday afternoon versus Washington. Realmuto took a seat on Wednesday night with knee bruise, but now it appears he'll be out a little longer. Knapp had two hits and an RBI on Wednesday. He only has eight hits on the season, but has been clutch as he's driven in nine runs. Knapp isn't an elite hitter but he puts together professional at-bats from both sides of the plate. He's not a bad option for Philadelphia while Realmuto is out, but fantasy managers don't need to pounce on Knapp. His primary fantasy value is as a cheap catching option in DFS.

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Andrew Knapp went 2-for-3 with a home run in his first start of the 2021 season. Knapp's afternoon could entertain any Statcast enthusiast as he blasted a no-doubt home run 111.6 MPH of the bat, according to ESPN. Later in the game, however, Knapp picked up an infield single that was only 55.3 MPH off the bat. That's baseball. As interesting of a day as Knapp had, he has little value in fantasy as J.T. Realmuto's backup. Knapp is a defense-first, switch-hitting catcher which is extremely valuable to a Big League team. His career .687 OPS makes him less valuable in fantasy. On days he's in the lineup Knapp can be a decent punt-play at catcher in DFS.
