Francisco Mejia Isn’t Starting On Monday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Francisco Mejia isn’t in the lineup on Monday for a matchup with the New York Yankees and right-handed starter Gerrit Cole. Mejia is batting .236 with a .241 on-base percentage and three home runs in 112 plate appearances this season. Instead, it’ll be Rene Pinto starting at catcher and batting ninth against the Yankees. The 25-year-old is hitting .167 with a home run in 24 plate appearances for Tampa Bay this season. Fantasy managers in search of streaming options at the position are probably better off looking elsewhere given the tough matchup with Cole.
