3 years agoSan Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list, according to The Athletic. Posey missed several games since taking a foul tip off of his left thumb in Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 34-year-old slugger is enjoying a rebound season, slashing .328/.421/.968 over 201 at-bats. Posey had been day-to-day but underwent an MRI exam that revealed a bone bruise in his left thumb, MLB.com reported. Curt Casali is catching Friday night and hitting eighth against right-hander Paolo Espino of the Washington Nationals. The .194 hitter can be ignored for fantasy purposes. Posey needs to be stashed everywhere as a top-tier fantasy backstop, and hopefully he will be able to return early in the second half of the season.--Josh Friedman
