3 years agoThe Philadelphia Phillies placed star catcher J.T. Realmuto on the COVID reserve list and recalled catcher Rafael Marchan from Triple-A. Backup Andrew Knapp will get his second straight start behind the dish on Thursday afternoon versus Washington. Realmuto took a seat on Wednesday night with knee bruise, but now it appears he'll be out a little longer. Knapp had two hits and an RBI on Wednesday. He only has eight hits on the season, but has been clutch as he's driven in nine runs. Knapp isn't an elite hitter but he puts together professional at-bats from both sides of the plate. He's not a bad option for Philadelphia while Realmuto is out, but fantasy managers don't need to pounce on Knapp. His primary fantasy value is as a cheap catching option in DFS.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
