2 months agoAccording to Andrew Golden of the Washington Post, the Washington Nationals have signed catcher Andrew Knizner to a minor-league contract. He will also be invited to spring training. The 29-year-old made 37 appearances with the Texas Rangers. Through this stint, he held a .167/.182/.211 with just one double, one home run, and a 1:22 BB:K ratio. He then spent the end of the season with Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks system and posted a .263/.355/.388 line. Throughout his big league career, the backstop has posted a .210/.279/.317 line across 293 games. Knizer will compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster but will likely open the campaign in the minor leagues, given his struggles in the majors.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

1 year agoThe Texas Rangers signed non-tendered catcher Andrew Knizner to a one-year, $1.825 million deal on Thursday. In his five seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals before being non-tendered this offseason, Knizner hit just .216/.290/.331 with 17 home runs, 76 RBI, four stolen bases and 84 runs scored in 255 games played, mostly as a backup. On the bright side, he had his best year in 2023, going 54-for-224 (.241) with career-highs in home runs (10), RBI (31) and runs scored (30) in 70 games played for the Red Birds. In his new home in Texas heading into the 2024 campaign, Knizner will battle for the backup job with Sam Huff behind starter Jonah Heim.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Andrew Knizner (groin) won't be activated on Saturday. He's ready to return after occupying a place on the 10-day injured list because of a groin injury. But the Cards are contemplating having three backstops on the roster, meaning it could be a while before he's back with the big club, although Ivan Herrera's spot as Willson Contreras' backup isn't secure, by any means.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller

2 years agoThe St. Louis Cardinals placed catcher Andrew Knizner (groin) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. In corresponding moves, the team recalled catcher Ivan Herrera, right-hander Dakota Hudson and left-hander Zack Thompson from Triple-A Memphis and optioned right-hander James Naile to Memphis. Knizner had to go to the emergency room on Tuesday after fouling a ball off his groin area, but he has since been released from the hospital and returned to the team's hotel. The 28-year-old will miss at least the next 10 days, but it's uncertain if he'll be ready to go once the second half of the season starts. In the meantime, Herrera will serve as the backup catcher behind starter Willson Contreras.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol made it clear on Tuesday that the backup catching job behind starter Willson Contreras is wide open in spring training. Incumbent Andrew Knizner and newcomer Tres Barrera are in a battle for the job in camp, with Barrera impressing the coaching and pitching staffs with his work. Knizner has served as St. Louis' primary backup the last two seasons, but he hasn't impressed anyone with his bat. He hit .215/.301/.300 with a .601 OPS, four home runs, 25 RBI and 28 runs score in 293 plate appearances and 96 games in 2022.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
