Astros: Pay close attention to the catcher position going forward
Look for the Astros to use the rest of the 2018 season to determine the future of their catcher situation fully.
Entering Tuesday morning, the Astros had Brian McCann, and Max Stassi listed as their primary catchers. Fast forward to Wednesday morning, and Tim Federowicz went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts as the catcher in Arlington.
Life comes at you fast.
By now we all know that McCann is out the next four-to-six weeks following right knee surgery. And Stassi was hit by a pitch in his first plate appearance during Tuesday’s game against the Rangers. Thankfully for all parties, Stassi is listed as day-to-day.
