Martin Maldonado

Kansas City Royals catcher Martin Maldonado went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in an 8-7 win over the Yankees on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Maldonado is now hitting .205 with two homers, 13 runs, and six RBI. He is not on the fantasy radar.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports the Royals and Martin Maldonado are in agreement on a one-year deal worth $2.5 million.

Fantasy Impact

Maldonado can earn an additional $1.4 million in incentives. The defensive stalwart has been searching for a starting job all winter and didn’t find one until the Royals lost Salvador Perez for the year. Maldonado isn’t much of an offensive presence, which means he’s only relevant in two-catcher fantasy formats.

Martin Maldonado went 2-for-3 with one strikeout, one walk, a RBI and a run scored during Saturday’s 5-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. Maldonado’s home run came in the fourth inning with no one on base.

Fantasy Impact

Maldonado has been hot in his last seven games hitting .313/.353/.500 at the plate. Now might be the time to roster Maldonado if available and even play him in deeper leagues.

Martin Maldonado went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts, an RBI, and a run scored during Friday’s 4-3 loss to the Oakland A’s.

Fantasy Impact

Even though Maldonado isn’t in a primary role, it’s great to see him get production when he is playing. He’s worth a look in deeper leagues especially being apart of the Houston Astros offense.

Martin Maldonado went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one strikeout, and two runs scored during Saturday’s 14-0 blowout win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Maldonado is serving as a primary backup to Max Stassi and could play a few games each week. Since being acquired by Houston he is hitting .219/.282/.331 through five games played. Keep Maldonado on the radar just incase something happens to Max Stassi.
