A.J. Ellis

A.J. Ellis starting at catcher for Miami

Miami Marlins catcher A.J. Ellis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's home clash with the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

J.T. Realmuto is getting the day off, and Ellis is handling catching duties in his place while batting seventh against Phillies' righty Nick Pivetta.

Ellis has only posted a .280 wOBA in 60 plate appearances against righties this season after posting a .275 in 2016, and he offers very little fantasy value this afternoon.
