Willson Contreras Mired In Deep Slump
2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras went hitless in Monday's series opener against the San Francisco Giants, and he's now gone 5-for-59 in his last 18 games with only two home runs and three RBI. He's now hitting .201 on the year, 42 points lower than what he hit in 2022 and 36 points lower than his world MLB season (.237 in 2021). "I think I've lost my confidence and I lost my trust, and lost the trust that I came into the season with. It just went away," Contreras said. The 31-year-old backstop is behind the plate and is hitting fifth in the lineup on Tuesday against Giants right-hander Alex Cobb. Fantasy managers may want to keep Contreras on their benches until he shows some signs of life with the lumber.
