Manny Piña Stats

Atlanta Braves catcher Manny Pina (wrist) is set to undergo season-ending surgery on his left wrist. The 34-year-old first landed on the injured list on April 28 with what was deemed left wrist inflammation. Pina only appeared in five games this year and he went 2-for-14 at the plate with a pair of RBI and a run scored. Fellow catcher William Contreras was called up when Pina hit the injured list. Contreras will serve as the team's backup catcher behind Travis d'Arnaud going forward.

The Atlanta Braves signed catcher Manny Pina to a two-year, $8 million deal on Monday that includes a $4 million team option for the 2024 season. Pina is a highly regarded backup catcher that will help take some of the stress off starting catcher Travis d'Arnaud as the Braves attempt to defend their World Series title in 2022. The presence of Pina as catching depth will give Atlanta extra time to develop catching prospects William Contreras and Shea Langeliers, who is the team's No. 2 prospect. The 34-year-old Pina hit a career-high 13 home runs while batting just .189 with a .732 OPS for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2021. Pina can provide occasional pop with his bat, but he's best known for his defense, throwing out 29.7% of 37 potential base-stealers last year.

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive August 29. Hopefully, Pina won't miss much time, but he has been horrendous at the plate anyway. He is slashing .181/.285/.389 with nine homers across 172 plate appearances. Pina is normally a reliable backup catcher, but won't provide fantasy value in any fantasy format. The Brewers don't need his bat and he probably won't play much over the next month or so.
