William Contreras Gets A Day Off On Thursday
10 months agoMilwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras is not in Thursday's lineup against the New York Mets. Switch-hitting backstop Victor Caratini stations behind the dish to catch Adrian Houser in this one. Contreras is 2-for-4 in his career while opposing Max Scherzer, but likely won't get a chance to build on that in Thursday's meeting. Following a 2022 All-Star nod with the Atlanta Braves, Contreras has failed to expand on that breakout season by slashing a lukewarm .244/.333/.413 with eight home runs and 25 RBI over 255 trips to the plate in 2023. The 26-year-old continues to regularly occupy a premium spot in the Brewers lineup, anyway, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too hasty in giving up on him at a shallow position.
