Yan Gomes Stats

Washington Nationals catcher Yan Gomes is getting the day off on Thursday as the team faces Tucker Davidson and the Atlanta Braves. Alex Avila is starting behind the plate and batting eighth in the game. Gomes had started the team's previous five games, so he was due for a day off. Through 36 games on the year, Gomes is slashing .258/.291/.430 with five home runs, 17 RBI and 16 runs. He's a strong No. 2 catcher in two-catcher leagues, but in most one-catcher leagues, he can be left on waivers.

Although Washington Nationals catcher Yan Gomes will be the team's primary option again this season, fellow catcher Kurt Suzuki will get a large chunk of the playing time. Suzuki is looking to catch starters Max Scherzer and Anibal Sanchez, with Gomes catching the rest of the staff. Suzuki has been the superior hitter for years now, and catching about 40% of the time to Gomes' 60% is close enough that Suzuki is the better option of the two for fantasy purposes. While Suzuki belongs on a roster in two-catcher leagues and could be a streamer in daily one-catcher leagues, Gomes doesn't offer nearly that upside.

The Washington Nationals agreed to a two-year, $10 million deal to re-sign catcher Yan Gomes on Wednesday night, according to sources. Gomes will rejoin Kurt Suzuki for Washington's catching tandem in 2020 as they try to defend their World Series title. The 32-year-old was the least effective of the two options in D.C. last year, hitting only .223/.316/.389 with 12 home runs and 43 RBI in 314 at-bats. He's a better real-life player for depth than a fantasy one, so Gomes is only really attractive in two-catcher or single-universe leagues.
