Martin Maldonado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

Maldonado's two-run shot off Ty Buttrey was his ninth of the season. He only has fantasy value in AL only or two-catcher formats. Maldonado is slashing .210/.284/.360 with nine home runs, 21 RBI, and 35 runs scored in 89 games with the Cubs/Astros/Royals this season.

Martin Maldonado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

The homer was his second since joining the Astros at the trade deadline. Maldonado has gone 5-for-30 (.167) in eight games with his new team.

Martin Maldonado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored, and a walk in Friday’s 10-2 win over the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Maldonado started his second consecutive game and provided the third of six Astros homers on the night. He is not expected to overtake Robinson Chirinos for the majority of starts, but provides solid depth at the catcher position. Maldonado has hit seven home runs, with 18 RBI and 29 runs scored in 80 games between the Royals, Cubs, and Astros this season.

The Cubs have traded Martin Maldonado to the Astros in exchange for Tony Kemp.

Fantasy Impact

The Cubs acquired Maldonado from the Royals recently to give them another able body while Willson Contreras was on the IL. Maldonado became expendable once Contreras got healthy, and will now slide into the backup role behind Robinson Chirinos. He continues to have no fantasy value.
