Jacob Stallings Stats

The Miami Marlins have acquired catcher Jacob Stallings in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, sending back starting pitcher Zach Thompson and two minor leaguers, pitcher Kyle Nicolas and outfielder Connor Scott. The 31-year-old Stallings is known for his defensive acumen, winning a Gold Glove in 2021. He's slashed .251/.331/.374 with 17 homers in 780 career plate appearances. Thompson has a shot to crack Pittsburgh's starting rotation after making 14 starts and posting a 3.24 ERA in 75 innings in 2021. Neither player should be drafted in standard formats, but each could become relevant as the season wears on.

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Jacob Stallings is not in the starting lineup Thursday to take on the Cincinnati Reds, according to MLB.com. Stallings is slashing .242/.330/.371 with eight home runs over 107 games. His value is mostly limited to NL-only and OBP leagues, with less than ideal power and batting average. Michael Perez will catch and bat seventh. Perez has almost no value in fantasy, hitting just .144 and with a .532 OPS. Look elsewhere for catching help on the waiver wire.

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher went 3-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-3 loss to the Cardinals on Friday. It was his third multi-hit performance in his last five games, as he's now slashing .240/.330/.378 with eight homers, 47 RBI and 31 runs scored over 95 games this season. He's a serviceable option in deeper NL-only leagues and two-catcher formats, otherwise his fantasy value is very limited.
