Austin Nola Activated From Injured List
4 years agoThe San Diego Padres activated catcher Austin Nola (finger) from the injured list on Wednesday and optioned young backstop Luis Campusano to the alternate site. Victor Caratini, who filled in admirably for the injured backstop, received the start on Wednesday with Nola available off the bench. Caratini, however, has struggled to hit for any power this season, accumulating only three extra-base hits across 55 at-bats entering Wednesday's contest. Expect Nola to quickly insert himself into a dangerous Padres lineup. As a reminder, Nola hit .273/.353/.472 across 48 games last year while emerging as a viable everyday backstop for fantasy managers. His strong on-base skills mixed with usable power (nine doubles and seven homers in 2020) make Nola a strong trade candidate for fantasy managers looking for stability at the catcher position.
