Zack Collins Fantasy Stats

The Cleveland Guardians signed free-agent catcher Zack Collins to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. The Guardians also inked left-hander Phillip Diehl and right-hander Dusten Knight. Collins spent the 2022 season with the Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Pirates, hitting a combined .155/.231/.320 with a .551 OPS, four home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in 36 games played. The 28-year-old backstop will likely begin in the minors for the Guardians and will serve as catching depth behind Mike Zunino, Bo Naylor and Cam Gallagher.

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Zack Collins is doing the catching and is hitting cleanup on Thursday against Boston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck. It will be the first time that Collins has hit cleanup in the major leagues, but he'll get the nod there on Thursday after a hot start to his season. The 27-year-old backstop is hitting .400 (8-for-20) with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored in the early going in his first six games. He has produced multi-hit performances in three of his last four games, going 8-for-15 with both of his homers and two doubles in that span. Collins has certainly become an attractive DFS play because of his hot streak, especially while hitting cleanup behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

The Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a catcher swap. Zack Collins is headed to Toronto while Reese McGuire is on his way to Chicago. While it may seem like a perplexing trade on the surface, the reasoning behind it for both teams appears sound. In McGuire, the White Sox will have a more proven backup behind starter Yasmani Grandal. As for the Blue Jays, the club is loaded at catcher and the franchise wanted to reduce that depth. Collins has a minor league option left on his contract so he'll be headed to Triple-A while the team goes with just Danny Jansen and Alejandro Kirk as catching options to open the year.

Chicago White Sox catcher Zack Collins isn't in the team's starting lineup on Sunday for a matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-handed starter Brandon Woodruff. Collins is hitting .217 with a .337 on-base percentage, four home runs, and a stolen base in 170 plate appearances this season. The White Sox will instead go with Seby Zavala behind the plate. Zavala is batting eighth against Woodruff. You're probably better off looking elsewhere for a streaming option at catcher as the 27-year-old is hitting .167 with a .250 on-base percentage in 22 plate appearances.

Chicago White Sox catcher Zack Collins put together a strong performance in Thursday's win versus the Minnesota Twins. Collins went 2-for-3 with a walk, stolen base, two RBI and a solo home run. The stolen base would be his first of the season and managers shouldn't expect many more moving forward. Despite the nice day at the plate, catcher Yasmani Grandal remains the starter. Collins is now hitting .236 with three home runs and 19 RBI. He can be avoided in all formats for now.

Chicago White Sox catcher Zack Collins went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cleveland Indians. Collins drew the start with starting catcher Yasmani Grandal scheduled to start in Game 2. Collins hasn't shown much offense this season and is hitting .181 with two home runs and eight RBI on the year. With Grandal entrenched as the starting catcher for the Pale Hose, Collins has limited value and should remain on the waiver wire.

Chicago White Sox catcher Zack Collins went 1-for-3 with a walk and solo home run in Friday's victory versus the Kansas City Royals. Collins drew the start with Yasmani Grandal struggling and getting a day off. Collins is now hitting .220 with two home runs and six RBI on the season. Collins isn't getting enough playing time to be rostered outside of two-catcher leagues, but he could start seeing an uptick in playing time if Grandal's woes continue.

Chicago White Sox catcher Zack Collins went 3-for-3 with three singles and a walk in Sunday's victory against the Texas Rangers. Collins got the start with catcher Yasmani Grandal struggling and getting the day off. Collins is unlikely to make much of an impact with Grandal entrenched as the starter. Collins is now hitting .206 on the season and should remain on the waiver wire in all formats for now.

Chicago White Sox catcher Zack Collins went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts on Tuesday versus the Seattle Mariners. Collins got the start on Tuesday with starting catcher Yasmani Grandal getting a day off and the White Sox didn't miss a beat. Collins has now caught three of the White Sox games and it's likely that he will continue to operate as a personal catcher for Lucas Giolito. Despite the nice performance on Tuesday, Collins does not get enough playing time to be worth rostering in deeper leagues at the moment.

Chicago White Sox catcher/designated hitter Zack Collins is firmly convinced that he should be breaking camp with the big league club, saying Thursday that he should "100 percent" be on the Opening Day roster. Collins has clobbered the ball during Cactus League play, slashing .391/.517/.522 across 13 games. Yasmani Grandal is entrenched as the team's everyday catcher, but he can also be moved over to designated hitter on occasion, which would allow Collins to slot into action. Taken with the 10th overall pick in the 2016 MLB draft, Collins has hit just .167 over his first 36 Major League outings with 44 strikeouts in 102 at-bats. Despite his blossoming confidence, he is not yet a fantasy relevant commodity, especially as he continues his battle for an Opening Day roster gig over the next two weeks.
