Brian Serven Stats

Colorado Rockies rookie catcher Brian Serven is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Twins. It will be the third straight game that Serven starts on the bench in favor of Elias Diaz. Serven has been solid for the Rockies while splitting time with Diaz behind the plate, as he's hitting .295/.358/.492 with an .850 OPS, three home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored in 61 at-bats over his first 20 major league games. Diaz is hitting ninth against Twins right-hander Dylan Bundy on Friday. He's hitting just .223 with four home runs and 18 RBI on the season, but he's gong 8-for-21 (.381) with two homers and eight RBI in seven games in the last two weeks.

Colorado Rockies catcher Brian Serven cranked his first two homers of his major-league career on Saturday night as his club defeated the Mets 11-3. It was just his second career start behind the dish in game two of a doubleheader as he hit a pair of two-run bombs, finishing the game going 2-for-4 with four RBI. The 27-year-old was called up earlier in the week to serve as the backup catcher to Elias Diaz after he hit .273/.406/.507 with five home runs at Triple-A. Although there is excitement surrounding his performance in this contest, Serven should only be considered as a fantasy option in deep NL-only formats for the time being.
