Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 17

As we enter the second half of the season you may have already found a dependable catcher that you roll with week-in and week-out, but as we know, backstops are the most volatile position in fantasy baseball.

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went hitless in five plate appearances Monday night against the Minnesota Twins, striking out twice.
