Jacob Stallings News
Miami Marlins catcher Jacob Stallings is in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 of the Wild Card round versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Nick Fortes got the nod behind the plate for Game 1. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout, so the Marlins decided to go in a different direction for Game 2. Stallings will cover behind the plate and bat ninth versus right-hander Aaron Nola on Wednesday. Stallings doesn't offer much upside with the bat, so he won't be a great fantasy option for this contest.
Miami Marlins catcher Jacob Stallings (ankle) came out of Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves with left ankle soreness. The 33-year-old finished 0-for-2 before he left, appearing to hurt himself during a swing in the fifth inning. Stallings should be deemed day-to-day. Nick Fortes took over behind the plate and should pick up extra lineup action if Stallings needs to miss time. The defensive-minded Stallings is slashing an anemic .184/.275/.237 with eight RBI across 133 plate appearances this season.
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.
