Rest-of-Season Projections

Sitting in fourth straight
Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Rortvedt will be on the bench for the fourth game in a row and is unlikely to be anything more than the Yankees' No. 3 catcher over the final month of the season after New York called up prospect Austin Wells from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Wells will make his third straight start Sunday and is expected to get a long look as the team's top backstop down the stretch. Since receiving a call-up of his own from Triple-A on July 21, Rortvedt has slashed an abysmal .087/.192/.217 over 22 games.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Rortvedt made his major-league debut for the Twins last season and hit .169/.229/.281 with a 29.6 percent strikeout rate in 98 plate appearances, and he was included in the massive trade which also sent Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the Yankees. For better or worse the departure of Gary Sanchez leaves a significant void in New York's catching group, and Rortvedt should have the opportunity to fill it. However, he's dealing with an oblique injury and may open the 2022 campaign on the injured list, which limits his outlook for early in the season. Rortvedt could still be in the mix behind the plate for the Yankees this year, but Kyle Higashioka could open in a full-time role with non-roster invitees Rob Brantly and David Freitas being the top options for the No. 2 job.
