Ben Rortvedt Dealing With Sore Shoulder
Tampa Bay Rays catcher Ben Rortvedt (shoulder) is dealing with shoulder soreness and is expected to miss a few games. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but given that he is only viewed as day-to-day, suggests the injury is not serious. Rortvedt appeared in 112 games for the Tampa Bay Rays last season. Across this stint, Rortvedt held a .228/.317/.303 slash line with 13 doubles and three home runs. He swiped one bag and held a high 26.8 percent strikeout rate. However, he was graded as an excellent defender as he placed in the 75th percentile in blocks above average and the 83rd percentile in pop time. Fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to operate as the No. 2 option behind Danny Jansen during the season and carry little fantasy value.
