Tyler Stephenson Isn't Starting On Saturday
3 years agoCincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson isn't in the team's lineup on Saturday as they take on the St. Louis Cardinals and right-handed starter Jake Woodford. Stephenson has provided both the Reds and fantasy managers with some solid production from behind the plate this season. The 24-year-old is hitting .278 with a .366 on-base percentage and five home runs in 246 plate appearances. However, he won't start against Woodford on Saturday. Instead, Tucker Barnhart will step into the lineup against the right-hander. Barnhart is batting seventh and could be a quality streaming option in either daily fantasy play or season-long formats. In 245 plate appearances, the backstop is hitting .271 with a .347 on-base percentage and four home runs.
