3 years agoChicago Cubs catcher Robinson Chirinos is absent from Friday's lineup against the Kansas City Royals. Austin Romine will do the catching in his place. Chirinos, who was signed in early July, has taken on the starting catcher duties after Willson Contreras (knee) landed on the injured list. He has done well in his short stint after a disappointing 2020, slashing .286/.406/.585 with four home runs in 28 games. He's always been able to hit for power with a career .435 slugging, and fantasy managers may want to stream Chirinos until he loses playing time once Contreras returns.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
