Nick Fortes Stats

Miami Marlins catcher Nick Fortes is behind the plate for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card round against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 26-year-old will bat ninth and do the catching versus right-hander Zack Wheeler on Tuesday. The Marlins didn't have a great option here with both their catchers struggling with the bat this season. Fortes is slashing .204/.263/.299 with six home runs and 26 RBI in 108 games this season. He won't have much streaming appeal for this contest.

Miami Marlins catcher Nick Fortes will start the second half of the season on Friday on the bench against the Baltimore Orioles. The Marlins will use Jacob Stallings behind the plate instead, and he will hit eighth in the batting order against Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer. Stallings has become right-hander Sandy Alcantara's personal catcher this year, as he has caught all of his starts so far in 2023. Fortes, 26, carries very little fantasy intrigue in two-catcher formats, as he heads into the second half of the year slashing .211/.260/.289 with four home runs, three doubles, 18 RBI, three stolen bases and 19 runs scored in 205 plate appearances over 66 games played.
