Willson Contreras Returns To Lineup Saturday
8 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (hand) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday against the visiting Miami Marlins and left-hander Trevor Rogers, serving as the designated hitter and batting third. Ivan Herrera will stay behind the plate and bat fifth. Contreras had some swelling in his hand after getting hit by a pitch on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres, which is why he sat out the home opener on Thursday versus Miami. The 31-year-old backstop is back in there on Saturday, though, so fantasy managers in single-year leagues should return him to their starting lineups. Contreras may not be 100 percent, though, and he's off to a 4-for-19 (.211) start), although two of those four hits have cleared the fences. He has never faced Rogers in his career.
