Tampa Bay Rays catcher Christian Bethancourt went 2-for-4 at the plate with a solo home run, a run scored and two strikeouts on Friday to help his team beat the Chicago White Sox by a score of 8-7. The 31-year-old catcher helped ignite a rally in the bottom of the ninth inning that eventually led to a walk-off home run by second baseman Brandon Lowe to keep the Rays undefeated at home this season. Bethancourt is hot right now, as he's riding a six-game hitting streak in which he's cleared the fences three times. Overall, he's gone 11-for-41 (.268) with three doubles, four home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored in 12 games played. Bethancourt will continue to split time with Francisco Mejia, but his hot streak can't be ignored.

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Christian Bethancourt isn't in the team's lineup on Monday to face the Los Angeles Angels and left-handed starter Tucker Davidson. The 30-year-old is hitting .238 this season with a .279 on-base percentage, seven home runs, and five stolen bases in 241 plate appearances. Instead, it'll be Francisco Mejia getting the start behind the plate and hitting sixth against the Angels. Mejia is batting .269 with a .287 on-base percentage and six home runs in 223 plate appearances this season. He's worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.
