2024 Fantasy Outlook
Garver rebounded from an injury-riddled 2022 season with a productive campaign, posting a 138 wRC+, the third highest of his career. Garver played in 87 games, the most since 2019, but he missed just over one-third of the season after hurting his knee in early April. When healthy, Garver was the everyday designated hitter, mixing in 27 games behind the plate. Garver's success in the batter's box was fully supported by his underlying metrics, which bodes well for continuing to log playing time at designated hitter. Garver has never been known for his defensive prowess, so it's not a surprise the metrics were not kind to him in his limited time defensively. Even so, Garver regained catcher eligibility and at least for the upcoming season, he's borderline useful in single-catcher formats and a solid option in two catcher leagues. He will work as Cal Raleigh's backup and the Mariners' top option at designated hitter when healthy, after signing a two-year deal with Seattle this winter. Read Past Outlooks

Losing playing time
Garver is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Garver is in the midst of a rough stretch at the plate, having gone hitless with eight strikeouts in his last five starts and 2-for-29 with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate over his past eight games. The ongoing slump looks to have cost him a regular spot in the lineup, as Garver will miss out Wednesday on the Mariners' third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Griffin Canning). Jason Vosler will get a second straight start at designated hitter and may have overtaken Garver as the Mariners' preferred option for the time being.

Stat Review
How does Mitch Garver compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2017
Garver was acquired by the Rangers ahead of the 2022 campaign, but he was limited to 54 games due to a forearm injury that eventually required surgery. He saw action in only 14 contests at catcher and worked primarily as a designated hitter while he tried to play through the injury. Jonah Heim took advantage of the opportunity and had a bit of a breakout, which could put him in line to receive regular playing time behind the plate in 2023. Garver had a .207/.298/.404 slash line with 10 home runs, though the fact he played through the injury for a while likely affected those numbers. Now entering his final season of arbitration eligibility, Garver should split his time between catcher and designated hitter and could be a late-round option for fantasy managers looking for a rebound. Availability remains a question mark given he's played in over 100 games only once in his big-league career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Alone as backup catcher
Garver will serve as Seattle's backup catcher moving forward after Seby Zavala was designated for assignment Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Garver has started 59 of the Mariners' 75 games this season, but only four of those starts have come behind the plate. Cal Raleigh will continue to work as Seattle's primary backstop, but Garver should now see occasional starts at catcher in addition to serving as a designated hitter. The 33-year-old has a .179/.301/.358 slash line this season but has shown signs of life in June with a .927 OPS in 44 at-bats.
