William Contreras's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras is getting the day off on Wednesday in the series finale against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Gary Sanchez will do the catching for right-hander Freddy Peralta and will bat in the three-hole against Braves left-hander Chris Sale. Fantasy managers will want to get Contreras out of their lineups for Wednesday's slate of games. The 26-year-old All-Star backstop has been a must-start all year when he's in the lineup and is currently batting .282/.352/.429 with a .781 OPS, 11 home runs, 57 RBI, five stolen bases and 66 runs scored as one of the best offensive-minded catchers in the game. Sanchez is in a great spot in Milwaukee's batting order but is facing a tough matchup against Sale, who he has hit .174 against in his career with a .391 OPS in 23 at-bats.

Milwaukee Brewers catcher/designated hitter William Contreras continued his solid offensive season in Monday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to the Rockies. Contreras went 3-for-5 with a single, a double, a solo home run, and a strikeout. Contreras took Austin Gomber deep to the opposite field in the fifth inning, putting a ball just over the right-field fence. The 26-year-old has been a top fantasy catcher option this season, slashing .296/.355/.451 with 10 HR, 59 runs scored, 51 RBI, and five stolen bases in 369 plate appearances. His high average and power provide great ratios, and his ample playing time should continue to help him stand out in counting stats.He has been a high-end fantasy option in general, not just relative to his position.

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. It appears to be a regular rest day for the 26-year-old as he had started the past three games behind the plate. Gary Sanchez will start at catcher on Sunday and bat eighth against Padres right-hander Michael King. Sanchez is slashing .224/.300/.413 with seven home runs, 21 RBI and 18 runs scored this season and is always a threat to go deep. Contreras remains an elite fantasy option for the remainder of the season but should be replaced in lineups for Sunday.

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras' three-run homer off Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander proved to be the game-winning hit in Saturday's 4-2 win. Contreras battled Verlander for 12 pitches before the 13th pitch in the at-bat, which resulted in his seventh homer of the season. He enters Sunday's play second in the majors with a .350 batting average, while his 37 RBI has him tied for third in what has become a breakout campaign. Contreras is one of the top catchers in fantasy baseball and managers should continue to roll with him in all league formats.
