3 years agoDetroit Tigers catcher/outfielder Eric Haase is absent from Thursday's lineup for the matchup against the Minnesota Twins, according to MLB.com. Haase has been one of the better power-hitting catchers this season with 22 HRs and a .230/.285/.463 slash line over 95 games. He's been in a rut recently, though, posting a .604 OPS in September. Dustin Garneau will catch and bat eighth instead. Garneau has shown some pop since joining the Tigers in mid-August, with six home runs and a .885 OPS in 18 games. He might be worth taking a chance on as a streaming option in deeper leagues.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
