Isiah Kiner-Falefa Catching Saturday
6 years agoTexas Rangers utility infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa will get the nod behind the plate on Saturday. After playing three straight days Robinson Chirinos will get some time on the bench. Kiner-Falefa is coming off a 4-for-5 game with a home run and a double. On the season Kiner-Falefa has three home runs with seven stolen bases and a .263 batting average. Interestingly, all three of Kiner-Falefa's home runs have come on the road, and he has a .124 ISO with a .324 wOBA when facing right-handed pitching on the road. In terms of fantasy value his relative lack of power but solid average, for a catcher eligible player, makes him a much better option in season long leagues than it does a DFS option Saturday
