Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Shocker: Nick Kurtz’s Return and Kyle Teel’s Debut Could Change Everything!
Tyler Stephenson – C, CIN: 36% rostered
(HOT STREAK, POWER UPSIDE)
Stephenson didn’t exactly hit the ground running when he was activated off the IL, but he seems to be turning it on of late, hitting .308./373/.596 over his last 15 games with four home runs and 11 RBIs. I would consider him in one-catcher formats if you don’t have the Contreras brothers, Cal Raleigh, Will Smith, Hunter Goodman, Logan O’Hoppe, or Adley Rutschman. If you’re looking for an option in a two-catcher format, you can go with Carlos Narvaez – C, BOS (7% rostered). It seems as though Narvaez has emerged as the starting catcher and one of the better rookies in the AL. He was known primarily for his plus defense when he was acquired from the Yankees in a trade this off-season, but he’s hitting .277/.355/.440 in 186 plate appearances with five home runs and 19 RBI. He provides top-tier defense behind the plate and is going to start about two-thirds of the games for the Red Sox while hitting near the middle of the order.
