3 years agoNew York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is not starting Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, according to MLB.com. After a miserable 2020 campaign, Sanchez has rebounded a bit but isn't the hitter he once was, slashing .207/.310/.431 with 23 HRs, 54 RBI, and 54 runs. It's the second time in three games he's started on the bench. Backup catcher Kyle Higashioka will take his spot behind the plate and bat eighth. Higashioka has no relevance in any league, with a feeble .184 average and .645 OPS. Fantasy managers looking for catching help should seek it elsewhere.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
