Yan Gomes Stats

Oakland Athletics catcher Yan Gomes is on the bench for Thursday's matchup with the Kansas City Royals and left-handed starter Daniel Lynch. Gomes is batting .255 with a .299 on-base percentage and 13 home runs in 331 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Sean Murphy starting behind the plate against the Royals. Murphy is batting seventh and could be worth a look for fantasy managers in search of streaming help at catcher. In 416 plate appearances this season, the 26-year-old is batting .218 with a .310 on-base percentage and 16 home runs.

Oakland Athletics catcher Yan Gomes went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a win versus the White Sox on Wednesday. Gomes knocked in Mark Canha with a single in the third inning as the former National has been a nice boost for an A's team that has been scuffling lately. Gomes' fantasy appeal isn't as strong, however; Sean Murphy is also in the mix and manager Bob Melvin has been giving both catchers playing time, which has led to neither Gomes nor Murphy being fantasy relevant in one-catcher leagues. Gomes is slugging .436 on the season, though, so he's a solid option in two-catcher fantasy leagues despite fewer at-bats than most starting catchers in baseball.

Oakland Athletics catcher Yan Gomes is not in Saturday's lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to MLB.com. Gomes has started five of the last six games, so manager Bob Melvin is likely just giving him a breather. Sean Murphy will do the catching duties in his place. Traded from the Nationals at the deadline, Gomes is slashing .260/.301/.441 with 12 HRs, 48 RBI, and 38 runs over 83 games. He's been a good option at catcher the entire year and should be rostered in most leagues. Fantasy managers should change their lineup accordingly.
