5 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks activated catcher Alex Avila (calf) from the Injured List on Friday. The team also sent catcher Caleb Joseph down to Triple-A. Avila has a .220/.410/.508 slash line with five home runs and 11 RBI in 25 games this year. The player most affected by Avila re-joining the team will be Carson Kelly, who has started 50 of the team's 79 games this year. He has hit nine home runs and has a slash line of .270/.354/.528. If Avila continues to produce like he did before the injury, we could be looking at a 60/40-type of split favoring Kelly. For now, Kelly can be held in 14+ leagues, but Avila is certainly more of a threat to his playing time than Joseph was, so in more shallow leagues, he can be dropped if there's an intriguing catcher on waivers.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
