Willson Contreras Re-Enters Starting Lineup Tuesday
1 year agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Zach Eflin. The veteran backstop didn't start Sunday's series finale against the Rockies but did log a pinch-hit single in place of Andrew Knizer later on in the contest. From an overall standpoint, Contreras has more or less been as advertised in his first season with the Cardinals, hitting .252 with 11 homers, six stolen bases, and a .772 OPS across 95 appearances. That production is rather similar to his career .256 average and .803 OPS while his 116 wRC+ this season is just two points below his 118 career mark.
