Aramis Garcia News
Oakland Athletics catcher Aramis Garcia went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in a win over the Giants on Sunday. Garcia also caught a brilliant game from starter Cole Irvin as he's been solid as the backup catcher to Sean Murphy. It was a nice game for the 28-year-old backstop, but he's still batting just .233 with a .263 on-base percentage while serving a backup role. He's not someone to roster in fantasy.
Oakland Athletics catcher Aramis Garcia was informed that he will be the backup catcher to start the season, Shayna Rubin of the Mercury News reports Saturday. Garcia has had a solid spring, slashing .333/.440/.476 with three doubles and a 10:4 K:BB rate in 11 games. He will be backing up Sean Murphy, who hit .233 with seven home runs and an .821 OPS last season. Garcia has shown the potential to be a 15 to 20-home run threat in the minors, and could be an interesting option to target in deep, two-catcher leagues.
The San Francisco Giants optioned catcher Aramis Garcia back to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, meaning Buster Posey (concussion) is expected to return from the concussion injured list on Friday. The 32-year-old Posey isn't an elite offensive player like he was in his prime, but he's still valuable in single-catcher leagues with his .245/.308/.406 slash line, two home runs and 13 RBI in 32 games this year. Get ready to throw him back into your lineups on Friday if he's indeed back in San Fran's starting lineup.
