Mitch Garver Fantasy

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver is on the bench for Sunday's tilt versus Royals right-hander Brady Singer. Alex Avila is batting ninth and calling signs behind the plate in the series finale. Garver is off to a sluggish start, hitting .094 with one homer and 15 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances. After cranking 31 bombs a season ago, owners should remain patient with the 29-year-old since his price came at a mid-round value. There's also not much out there in two-catcher leagues, but he may become droppable in single-catcher leagues if the strikeouts persist.

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver is getting a breather Tuesday versus Pirates right-hander Joe Musgrove. Alex Avila is behind the plate in his place for the Twins and batting eighth in the matinee. Garver has slumped so far in 2020 with just three hits in 21 at-bats, including just one long ball. It's not time to quit on the 29-year-old yet after seeing him wallop 31 homers in 93 games in 2019, and he should find his stroke sooner than later.

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver finally broke out of his 2-for-15 funk with a second-inning home run off Aaron Civale. The baseball gods smiled upon Garver, as he popped up foul down the right-field line but the Indians were unable to make a play on the ball. The 29-year-old clubbed the next pitch 412 feet into the left-field bleachers at an exit velocity of 102.2 MPH. Garver should have a good chance of staying warm with three contests coming up against the Pirates' depleted pitching staff.
