Atlanta Braves catcher William Contreras made his one hit count on Wednesday. The rookie catcher slugged his second home run of the season in the fifth inning of the club's 4-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Since being recalled due to veteran catcher Travis d'Arnaud's season-ending injury, Contreras has gone 6-for-29 (.207) with two home runs and a BB-K of 2-10. He made his MLB debut in 2020 and hit .400 in 10 at-bats. The brother of Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is expected to see the majority of starts behind the plate for the Braves going forward barring a trade. Contreras, 23, projects to be a solid but unspectacular offensive contributor and a decent pickup in two-catcher leagues.
