3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto will be on the bench for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Marlins. This is just a few extra hours of rest for the All-Star catcher, who should be back in the lineup for the nightcap. Realmuto was the consensus best catcher in fantasy before the season, and while he didn't quite live up to those lofty expectations, he still had a strong first half, slashing .268/.343/.468 with eight homers, 30 runs, 34 RBI and five steals. He's a must-start catcher in all fantasy leagues. Andrew Knapp will handle the catching duties in Game 1 versus Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara, but Knapp holds little fantasy value.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
