Martín Maldonado Stats

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado (shoulder) left Wednesday's game with left shoulder soreness, according to the team. Maldonado made an incredible diving play and landed hard on his shoulder during the fourth inning, surely contributing to the injury. Maldonado stayed in the game before being replaced by catcher Jason Castro during the top of the sixth inning. Maldonado should be considered day-to-day, with Castro as the likely replacement, in case the 35-year-old misses time.

Maldonado went 2-for-5 with a home run and three runs batted in Monday and is slugging .421 over his last seven starts.

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado is 10-for-80 (.125) over his last 30 games heading into Tuesday's matchup against the Rangers. Maldonado is known as a defensive-first player but his offensive ineptitude is at new levels currently. He has only one extra-base hit since August 27 and is posting an unsightly .569 OPS through 334 at-bats this season. Maldonado is not a fantasy option and is losing playing time to teammate Jason Castro.
