Daulton Varsho News
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher and outfielder Daulton Varsho is in the lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers and right-handed starter Walker Buehler. Varsho didn't start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader but will return to the leadoff spot in the order on Wednesday. He'll also start at catcher. The 25-year-old is hitting .246 with a .324 on-base percentage, six home runs, and three stolen bases in 139 plate appearances this season.
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho has been on fire in the month of May, slashing .326/.396/.605 with two homers and a steal. He's recorded a hit in ten of his 11 games this month. With many of the top options at catcher struggling to start the year, Varsho has solidified himself as a strong choice at the position. Though he was playing predominantly in center field prior to the recall of Alek Thomas, he's been behind the plate of late, meaning there may be a few more off days heading his way, but also that he's certain to retain eligibility entering future seasons. He's a strong play this week with eight games on the schedule.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder/catcher Daulton Varsho isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine day off for the 25-year-old who has played a ton recently. In fact, Varsho has started in 19 of the first 22 games of the season. Although, his bat has been slow with a .211/.293/.394 slash line and four home runs with two steals. Jordan Luplow will bat second and cover center field versus righty Miles Mikolas on Saturday. A favorable spot in the batting order for Luplow, but Mikolas is a tough matchup for him.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho will be ready this year to prove why he was considered one of the top catching prospects entering the 2020 season as he looks to shake off his poor debut campaign. Spending more time in the outfield than behind the plate, Varsho slashed .188/.287/.366 over 37 games, and while his 28.7 percent strikeout rate was higher than his career mark in the minors, his 10.4 percent walk rate was a positive sign in an otherwise rough year. He also seemed to heat up slightly at the plate late in the season, slashing .197/.291/.408 in the month of September. Looking at some of his advanced metrics there are indicators that he could be poised to make a solid impact in fantasy in 2021. His 11.1 percent HR/FB rate matched up with his career mark in the minors, and his 18.4 degree launch angle ranked him in the top 50 in the league among batters with at least 100 plate appearances. Varsho has shown 15 homer, 15 steal potential throughout his career in the minors, which is what managers should expect him to reach in 2021, making him a solid add at his current ADP of 163.
