Blake Sabol Stats

San Francisco Giants catcher/outfielder Blake Sabol is not in the lineup for a second consecutive game on Sunday against Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins. The rookie has impressed, hitting .277 with a .801 OPS through 31 games. But with a lefty on the mound again, Sabol's .176 average off of southpaws means he'll take a seat. Patrick Bailey is behind the plate instead and batting seventh. The 23-year-old has one hit across three at-bats in 2023, but he doesn't project as much of a hitter in the big leagues. Fantasy managers can find a better option at catcher on the waiver wire.

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Monday that catcher/outfielder Blake Sabol has made a "fantastic impression" with the team this spring, per SF Chronicle's John Shea. The 25-year-old is expected to be one of three catchers on the team's roster, the other two being Joey Bart and Roberto Perez. Sabol does not have any big-league experience to this point, but he has hit .348 with three home runs, 10 RBI, and two stolen bases this spring and can also play outfield. The Giants tend to mix and match their lineups and currently have a number of outfield injuries, which could provide Sabol with routine playing time early on. This could make him worth keeping an eye on in deeper two-catcher leagues.
