Francisco Cervelli News
Miami Marlins catcher Francisco Cervelli was placed on the injured list prior to Sundays contest against Washington due to a concussion, which has once again proven to be his bugaboo. Nearly forced into retirement due to concussions, Cervelli has returned this year and produced an .808 OPS in 62 plate appearances. With Jorge Alfaro back, the Marlins have a full-time catcher, but Cervelli presented a high-upside DFS selection this year when in the lineup. When hell be able to return from the injury is unknown at this stage.
Miami Marlins catcher Francisco Cervelli was placed on the injured list after Saturday's game due to a concussion. It's unclear when Cervelli suffered the injury, but he essentially removed himself from Game 2 of Saturday's double header. Cervelli has dealt with several concussions in the past, so there is certainly some legitimate concern here. The Marlins will go forward with Jorge Alfaro as their starting catcher, but they'll need to make some kind of roster move before Sunday's game to ensure they have someone as a backup. The team's emergency catcher is presumably Logan Forsythe, but they'll of course want to have an actual second catcher on the roster.
Miami Marlins catcher Francisco Cervelli departed the second leg of Saturdays doubleheader against the Nationals early, forcing Jorge Alfaro back behind the dish after having caught Game 1. Cervelli has proven to be an adept second catcher for the Marlins, having reeled off an .808 OPS through his first 53 at-bats this season. Entering play Saturday, he had collected a hit in seven of his last eight games. With Alfaro back in the equation, Cervelli holds little season-long intrigue, except potentially in two-catcher formats. An extended absence would likely force Alfaro to see even more playing time than usual.
