Erik Kratz

Erik Kratz went 2-for-3 at the plate with a two-run single in the second half of Friday’s doubleheader against the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Kratz has been playing in a backup role for this season. But the 40-year-old catcher could be designated for assignment by the Yankees when No. 2 backstop Kyle Higashioka returns from the injured list and is not worth owning in fantasy.

Erik Kratz went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the Brewers' 4-2 win over the Braves on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

This was Kratz's first RBI since July 28. After a miracle hot start with the team in June Kratz's production has cratered. He has a dismal .269 wOBA on the year. He neither plays enough or hits well enough to warrant fantasy consideration.

Erik Kratz went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in the Brewers' 7-1 win over the Giants on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Kratz is now on a modest three game hitting streak, including his last two starts and a pinch-hit appearance. He has a .695 OPS this season, which doesn't make him fantasy relevant in any context.

Erik Kratz went 1-for-3 with a single and two strikeouts in the Brewers' 4-2 win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Kratz is now hitting .231 with a .268 OBP on the season. He's a weak-hitting backup catcher that doesn't warrant fantasy consideration in any league size.

Erik Kratz went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the Brewers' 5-1 loss to the Braves on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

After getting off to a hot start in Milwaukee Kratz is mired in a 2-for-29 slump, bringing his batting line down to .222/.276/.407. He's a 38-year-old backup catcher with a career 66 wRC+, and that's really all you need to know about him to judge Kratz's fantasy relevance.
