Francisco Mejía News
Tampa Bay Rays catcher Francisco Mejia is batting fifth for the Rays on Monday. Mejia has bounced around in the lineup this spring and often has been closer to the top and middle of the lineup. He was acquired via trade with the San Diego Padres this offseason and is expected to be the Rays' second catcher behind Mike Zunino. Mejia was once a top prospect in the Cleveland Indians organization but has yet to live up to his potential. He is currently 8-for-30 with three RBI this spring. Mejia currently boasts an ADP of 465 and likely only holds value if he takes over the starting role this season for the Rays or in two catcher leagues.
San Diego Padres catcher Francisco Mejia has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left thumb contusion. With Mejia hitting the IL, Luis Torrens has been recalled and will have his opportunity to stick behind the dish. Its been an early struggle at the plate for Mejia, who has produced a .079/.146/.184 slash line across his first 16 games. Having previously been thought of as the catcher of the future for San Diego, owners may want to begin looking elsewhere than the Padres for offensive production from backstops.
San Diego Padres catcher Francisco Mejia smacked his first home run Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. His only knock in four tries, Mejia banged one off the right field foul pole for a two-run shot in the third frame. The 24-year-old has struggled immensely while sharing backstop duties with Austin Hedges, slashing just .103/.188/.241 with seven runs-plus-RBI in 32 plate appearances. Without consistent playing time, the struggling Mejia isnt a must-hold outside of two-catcher formats.
