2 years agoThe San Diego Padres recalled catcher prospect Luis Campusano on Friday. The move comes with catcher Jorge Alfaro (knee) being placed on the 10-day injured list. Campusano is one of the top catcher prospects in the game, but has struggled in his short stints at the big-league level. The 23-year-old had a cup of coffee with the Padres earlier this season and was 1-for-12 at the plate. In his career at the big-league level, he is 5-for-49 with a homer. Despite those struggles, he has raked for Triple-A El Paso with a .298 batting average to go along with 14 homers and 60 RBI, so managers shouldn't be so quick to write him off based on his previous struggles. With catcher Austin Nola likely to see at least half or more of the starts behind the dish, Campusano will have to really impress in the playing time he is given to make an impact the rest of the season in redraft leagues. For now, his best value is in dynasty leagues.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
