Matt Wieters Fantasy Stats

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Matt Wieters has been activated from the injured list prior to Fridays contest against the Cubs, with Andrew Knizner being optioned to the clubs alternate site to make room on the active roster. Wieters last appeared Aug. 19, having been sidelined due to a toe contusion. With Yadier Molina firmly entrenched as the teams everyday catcher, Wieters isnt likely to see much playing time, as he is still in search of his first hit of 2020, having gone 0-for-12 with four strikeouts to begin the year.

The St. Louis Cardinals re-signed catcher Matt Wieters to a one-year, $2 million deal on Wednesday. The 33-year-old will return as the backup to veteran Yadier Molina after playing in 67 games in 2019. The four-time All-Star with the Orioles hit 11 home runs and threw out eight of 19 potential base stealers during last season. He's hit .250 with 146 home runs (sixth all time among switch-hitting backstops) and 546 RBI in 1,148 career games. Wieters won't have any fantasy appeal unless Molina misses more time due to injury in 2020.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) and catcher Matt Wieters (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both players are getting routine days off here to rest. Lane Thomas will cover center field and bat eighth in this contest. Andrew Knizner will cover behind the plate and bat seventh versus lefty Steven Brault. Neither player is a reliable fantasy option for this game.

The St. Louis Cardinals signed catcher Matt Wieters to a minor league contract. Likely due to his injury history resulting in durability issues, Wieters was unable to find a guaranteed major league deal in a tough free agent market. Cardinals entrenched starter Yadier Molina is still recovering from offseason surgery, so Wieters could see some playing time early in the season. Still, he won't play enough to be worth owning in any formats. He hit just .238/.330/.374 in the 271 plate appearances he was able to appear in last season.

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters (groin) is out of the starting lineup on Tuesday versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Wieters has been bothered by a groin issue lately, so that is likely why he is out of the lineup. There is a good chance that the Nats are cautious with Wieters down the stretch. Pedro Severino will bat eighth and start behind the plate against righty John Gant. Severino can be avoided in fantasy leagues and DFS contests.

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters (groin) is still bothered by a nagging groin injury and isn't playing on Monday. Manager Dave Martinez said Wieters is available to pinch hit and catch for an inning if needed. The Nats are being cautious with Wieters, who is bothered by the groin when running. Pedro Severino is behind the plate on Monday. Wieters is hitting just .232 with six homers and 22 RBI and is really only attractive as a second backstop in two-catcher leagues.

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Wieters is reportedly dealing with a hip/groin issue, according to Jamal Collier. The Nats have not put Wieters on the disabled list because it's September and the rosters expanded. It's unclear whether this is a day-to-day issue or something that could sideline Wieters for weeks. Spencer Kieboom will bat eighth and draw the start behind the plate against righty Chase Anderson on Saturday. Kieboom can be avoided in DFS contests.

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters (back) left the game early on Wednesday after his back locked up on him in the middle innings because he had issues with his hips. However, Wieters thinks he should be able to play on Friday after the off day Thursday. Wieters walked and struck out in four plate appearances on Wednesday. The switch-hitting catcher is hitting just .231 with six homers and 22 RBI on the season and is only worth owning in two-catcher formats.

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Wieters did not play on Wednesday due to rest, but will start at catcher and bat eighth against righty Luke Weaver on Thursday. Wieters has not hit right-handed pitching well this season, so he can be avoided in DFS contests.

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters will return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Spencer Kieboom will sit in his place. The rest of the lineup remains the same with Adam Eaton, Bryce Harper, and Juan Soto rounding out the outfield and Anthony Rendon, Trea Turner, Matt Adams, and Daniel Murphy in the infield. The Nats will face 23-year-old starter Tyler Mahle, whom this lineup has never hit against before. Expect the usual growing pains, but Rendon and Harper in particular have been on fire their last seven games (.400 average each).
