Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi went 2-for-4 with three RBI as the Astros beat the Mariners 8-3. For Stassi, it was his first multi-RBI game since July 7 and only has five RBI over his last 54 at-bats. After a strong start to the season, Stassi has struggled with consistency at the plate and had only two hits over his last 19 at-bats coming into the game. The injury to catcher Brian McCann opened the door for more playing time but Stassi has been unable to cash in. The Astros trot out a highly potent lineup but the catching position certainly is the weak link offensively right now. Stassi hopes to build upon this performance moving forward but is not fantasy viable at this time.

Stassi is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi is currently in a 4-for-27 slump and is hitting only .216 through 37 at-bats in July. Stassi has only one extra-base hit this month and his .243 slugging percentage is a far cry from the .640 slugging he posted in May. The 27-year-old hit his way into an increased role on the roster this season and became the everyday catcher after the knee injury to veteran Brian McCann. But Stassi has failed to take the starting position and run with it, prompting the Astros to acquire defensive-minded catcher Martin Maldonado from the Angels. Stassi for the season is now slashing .240/.330/.434 with seven home runs, 12 doubles and 24 runs batted in through 175 at-bats.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi will have some sleeper value in fantasy the next few days as the Astros open up a series against the Rockies in hitter-friendly Coors Field Tuesday night. Stassi has hit for power in 29 road games this season, slashing .319/.392/.604 with six home runs and eight doubles away from Minute Maid Park. Stassi has seen a huge increase in playing time this season but has lacked consistency at times. He currently is slashing only .238/.347/.310 over his last 42 at-bats but hitting in Coors Field can certainly turn that around quickly. Stassi's fantasy value will be on the rise for the next few games in DFS but will not necessitate a roster spot in standard formats right now.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi capped off his first half on a down note, hitting only .200 with a .275 slugging percentage over his last 40 at-bats. Stassi emerged as a reliable player after hitting .340 in the month of May with three home runs and six doubles. But once veteran Brian McCann was put on the shelf with a knee injury, Stassi's role has increased to mixed results. He is hitting only .191 over the last month and a half and rumors that the Astros may be interested in Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto persist. Stassi lacks fantasy relevance right now and his value could take an even more serious hit if the Astros hit the trade market for the stretch run over the next few weeks.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi will start behind the plate Saturday afternoon against the White Sox. Stassi has been nursing a sore forearm the past few days and backup Tim Federowicz has seen some playing time this week. With veteran catcher Brian McCann on the shelf after undergoing knee surgery, the everyday duties now fall on Stassi's shoulders. It is quite possible that, at some point, the Astros go out and acquire a veteran catcher but the job is Stassi's to lose for now. Stassi has been solid, if unspectacular, this season but hit only .163 in the month of June. For the season Stassi is slashing .253/.340/.476 with seven home runs and 22 runs batted in. There should be better options in fantasy currently than the Astros backstop.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi (hand) will start behind the plate Thursday against the White Sox. Stassi returns to the lineup after being removed from Tuesday's game after being hit in the hand. X-rays came back negative and Stassi is back in the lineup as the team opens up a series with the White Sox. The Astros are already down one catcher after veteran Brian McCann underwent knee surgery this week, with Tim Federowicz recalled from the minors to take his place. Stassi is in line to be the everyday catcher for the next two months and is slashing .255/.340/.482 this season with seven home runs, 11 doubles and 22 runs batted in.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi (wrist) told reporters he should return soon. Astros Manager A.J. Hinch said "I hope to play him in the next day or so." Stassi was hit by a pitch on his wrist Tuesday and suffered a contusion. Both Stassi and Hinch mentioned that it was just a contusion and he will continue to work through the soreness and get mobility back. The Astros have a four game set with the White Sox starting Thursday and he should be able to return during that time.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi will take over the full-time catching duties for at least the next month after news broke that veteran Brian McCann will have knee surgery. Stassi (141 at-bats) had been in a timeshare with McCann (155 at-bats) to this point in the season but the young backstop will now get a longer look. Stassi has shown spurts of offensive production at times but is currently in a 3-for-19 slump. Stassi enjoyed an excellent month of May, hitting .340 with three home runs, six doubles and an impressive OPS of 1.017. He came crashing back to earth in June but flashed what he is capable of at the plate. It is tough to forecast how consistent Stassi can be with everyday at-bats, but he is a player worth monitoring in fantasy with an increase in playing time moving forward.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi has really struggled in the month of June, hitting .167 over his last 36 at-bats. He has shaken off an 0-for-16 slide to begin the month to pop a couple home runs over the last week. Up until that slump, Stassi has been a pleasant surprise this season and has played his way into a full-on timeshare with veteran backstop Brian McCann. He still carries a .504 slugging percentage for the season, but whether he can sustain his production over a full season remains a question mark. Stassi will face the Royals left-hander Danny Duffy on Friday for the second time in just about a week. Stassi smacked a three-run homer off of Duffy on June 16, making him an intriguing sleeper play in fantasy at the catching position for Friday.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi will face Mariners left-hander James Paxton when the two teams open up a huge series Tuesday night. Stassi is coming off of a forgettable 0-for-10 in the last series against the Red Sox but has a favorable matchup Tuesday to snap out of it. Stassi has done some serious damage against lefties this season, going 16-for-37 (.432) with one home run, six doubles, a .676 slugging percentage and a BABIP of .556. Paxton is a top-notch pitcher, but Stassi is a sneaky strong play at the catching position in daily fantasy Tuesday night.

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann (knee) has been shut down after having a shot and getting his right knee drained. He is eligible to come off the disabled list June 8, but could be sidelined for longer than that. Max Stassi has been playing well as the Astros starting catcher. McCann is probably still worth holding onto in deeper leagues, but otherwise he can probably be dropped in most leagues.

Stassi, who was given the day off Thursday, will catch the next three games, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi went 2-for-4 with a home run and three runs batted in Wednesday against the Yankees. Stassi now has hits in each of the last seven games played and has two home runs and seven runs batted in during that span. Stassi is enjoying a fantastic month of May and is 16-for-43 (.372) since May 7 while posting a slugging percentage of .640. Stassi, however, has done most of his damage hitting away from Minute Maid Park. He is slashing .333/.394/.633 in road games this season while hitting only .241 at home. With Brian McCann on the disabled list, Stassi is an intriguing short-term play in fantasy right now. The Astros return home to open up a series with the Red Sox beginning Thursday night.

Stassi went 2-for-4 with a home run, double and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

Stassi will take on a bigger role after the Astros placed Brian McCann on the disabled list with soreness in his right knee, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. In the first game as Houston's primary catcher, he went 1-for-5 in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Yankees.

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi is expected to become the primary backstop after Brian McCann was placed on the disabled list with knee soreness. Stassi and McCann have been splitting time behind the plate most of the season but this should free up more consistent playing time for Stassi for at least the next week. He currently has a five-game hitting streak and also has seven runs batted in over his last 10 games. He is hitting .341 in the month of May and is hitting .375 through 24 at-bats with runners in scoring position. The catching position in fantasy is the least deep among all the qualifying positions, allowing Stassi to have short-term fantasy appeal for the next several games.
