Rob Brantly Fantasy Stats

Miami Marlins catcher Rob Brantly cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. Brantly will remain in the organization after missing almost three months earlier this season with a strained right lat and a knee injury. The 36-year-old veteran backstop only played in three games before his injuries this year for Miami and went 3-for-7 with an RBI and a strikeout. For now, he'll remain on the farm to provide catching depth behind Agustin Ramirez and Nick Fortes at the major-league level. In parts of 10 big-league seasons with six different teams, Brantly has a career slash line of just .226/.286/.323 with seven home runs, 38 RBI and 32 runs scored in 140 games played.

The Miami Marlins have placed catcher Rob Brantly (lat) on the 10-day injured list with a right lat strain. In a corresponding move, the Marlins promoted catching prospect Agustin Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville. Brantly was only able to appear in three games before suffering his injury. During this brief stint, Brantly has tallied three hits across seven at-bats with one RBI. The 35-year-old inked a minor-league contract with the Marlins during the winter. Throughout his 10-year MLB career, the 35-year-old has appeared in 141 games and has held a .228/.286/.323 slash line with 21 doubles and seven home runs. While he remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Ramirez to operate in the top spot on the depth chart alongside Liam Hicks. Brantly is not worth stashing in any fantasy format, as he may not be guaranteed a spot on the roster when he returns.

According to Christine De Nicola of MLB.com, the Miami Marlins have signed catcher Rob Brantly to a minor-league deal that includes an invite to spring training. Brantly spent the entire 2024 season in the Rays organization. He also spent time with the Marlins during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Last season, he appeared in just three MLB games and tallied one hit with two strikeouts. Across 52 games with Triple-A Durham, Brantly held a .250/.316/.394 slash line with six doubles, five home runs, and a 12:35 BB:K ratio. In 138 career games at the MLB level, the backstop has posted a mere .222/.284/.322 slash line. In 743 games at Triple-A, he has held a higher .266/.324/.390 line. Fantasy managers should expect Brantly to open at the at Triple-A, given his lack of recent MLB experience.

The Tampa Bay Rays signed free-agent catcher Rob Brantly to a minor-league deal on Monday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Rene Pinto is currently the only catcher on Tampa's 40-man roster, so Brantly should have a chance to earn the backup catching gig in spring training. The 34-year-old veteran left-handed hitter was with the Toronto Blue Jays this past season but never appeared in the big leagues. Instead, he hit .271/.390/.361 with a home run and 16 RBI in 46 games at Triple-A Buffalo before he was cut in July. Brantly has eight years of major-league service with five different teams and has a career .225/.287/.326 slash line with only seven home runs and 37 RBI in 134 games played over 456 plate appearances.

New York Yankees infielder Hoy Jun Park and catcher Rob Brantly were purchased from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday to help with depth after the Yankees put outfielder Aaron Judge, third baseman Gio Urshela and catcher Kyle Higashioka on the COVID-19 injured list due to positive tests. Park, a left-handed hitting middle infielder, has hit .303/.450/.505 with nine home runs, 28 RBI and nine stolen bases in 54 games with Double-A Somerset and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, while Brantly hit .270/.391/.477 with six home runs and 22 RBI in 34 games at Triple-A. Neither player is guaranteed regular playing time, even with the Yankees short-handed. Brantly will serve as the backup to Gary Sanchez behind the dish.

The Cleveland Indians have signed catcher Rob Brantly to a contract and assigned him to Triple-A. Brantly has yet to appear in the majors in 2018, and was hitting just .218 in the minors with one home run and 19 games this season. He'll function as depth following the trade of Francisco Mejia and holds no fantasy value.
