Rest-of-Season Projections

Goes deep in loss
McGuire went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Starting for a resting Carson Kelly, McGuire continued to serve as a very capable backup catcher. The veteran has gone deep four times already in only 12 games, helping push his OPS to .883. McGuire's career high in home runs is five, which he recorded across 30 games for the Blue Jays back in 2019. He may ultimately get bumped from the roster whenever Miguel Amaya (oblique) is able to return from the injured list, but McGuire is at least providing some short-term fantasy value on days when he's in the lineup.

How does Reese McGuire compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

McGuire has found a nice home in Boston servicing as the backup catcher for a club that appreciates what he can do behind the plate while being understanding of what he cannot do at the plate. McGuire is a perfectly fine catcher if you need a one category catcher who hits for average as long as you understand that there is more pop in a t-shirt cannon firing Red Sox shirts into the stands between innings than there is in McGuire's bat. The former first round pick has never seen 275 plate appearances in a regular season and that is unlikely changing anytime soon. Fantasy manager in AL-Only leagues can use their last pick or last dollar on McGuire's batting average as long as they do not need to chase late power.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Likely to get called up
The Cubs are expected to call up McGuire to replace Amaya ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Reds, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
The Cubs suffered a big blow during Saturday's loss to the Reds when Miguel Amaya left the contest due to an oblique issue that's likely to require a trip to the injured list. McGuire is expected to take Amaya's place in the roster, but since he's not on the team's 40-man roster, another move may be needed in order to select the 30-year-old's contract.
