7 years agoMinnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (knee) is expected to make his return to the field on Tuesday. The 27-year-old backstop has been sidelined since last Wednesday after he tweaked his knee during a rundown in Spring Training action. When he returns, Garver is expected to resume his role as the team's primary backup catcher after starter Jason Castro. Garver had an exceptional 2017 season in Triple-A, slashing .291/.387/.541 with 17 homers, 56 runs, and 45 RBI in just 88 games. He earned a cup of coffee in the big leagues in 2017, making 52 plate appearances with the Twins, batting .196 with five runs and three RBI. He has a chance to be a plus bat as a fantasy catcher but he will have to earn more playing time for that to come to fruition.--Matt T - RotoBaller
