Victor Caratini Sitting Out Friday
3 years agoSan Diego Padres catcher Victor Caratini (thumb) is out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. Caratini took a foul tip off his thumb on Thursday and was removed from the game eventually, but X-rays came back negative and fantasy managers should consider the backstop day-to-day. Caratini isn't an offensive force but has had some big moments for the Friars while holding down the fort with Austin Nola (knee) injured. The 27-year-old switch-hitter is batting .221/.317/.347 with six home runs and 29 RBI on the year in 190 at-bats. Webster Rivas will catch rookie Reiss Knehr on Friday and hit eighth against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland. Rivas does have two homers in just 46 at-bats this year, but those in DFS can find better low-cost options at the position.
