Eligibility
Boston Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire will take over behind the plate to start Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
Connor Wong started each of the last two games even against a right-handed pitcher in Alek Manoah on Wednesday night. However, McGuire gets back into the lineup against righty Kevin Gausman on Thursday. McGuire is hitting a healthy .327 at the plate with four doubles while he searches for his first homer in his 19th appearance of the season.
Reese McGuire went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Rays on Thursday. Boston ultimately fell to Tampa Bay by a score of 9-3, suffering an embarrassing four-game sweep.
Fantasy Impact
McGuire was unable to build on the 6-for-9 line he accrued over his last three games. Thursday's dud performance is an anomaly and shouldn't deter fantasy managers from rostering him as a depth piece in deeper leagues.
Reese McGuire went 3-for-4 with three singles against the Rays on Wednesday. He scored two runs along the way. Boston ultimately fell to Tampa Bay by a score of 9-7.
Fantasy Impact
McGuire is now hitting an impressive 9-for-19 (.474) with six singles and three doubles this season. He posts great results against right-handed pitching and is a strong fantasy option in such matchups.
Reese McGuire went 1-for-3 with a solo homer against the Yankees on Saturday afternoon. Boston ultimately fell to New York by a score of 7-5.
Fantasy Impact
McGuire owns a fantastic .381/.409/.857 slash line with three homers and seven RBI over the course of his last seven games. The backstop's offensive production has improved exponentially since he joined the Red Sox in early August.
Reese McGuire came off the bench and launched a go-ahead three-run homer against the Yankees on Thursday. However, it was all for naught. Boston ultimately fell to New York by a score of 5-4 as the series opener lasted 10 innings.
Fantasy Impact
McGuire went 1-for-2 with the blast and a strikeout. His hitting production has been fantastic since joining the Red Sox; he's slashing .382/.415/.539 with two homers, 11 RBI, four walks, and 18 strikeouts through 28 games with his new club. Both of his homers have come within the last five days.
