Nick Fortes | Fantasy Outlook

Nick Fortes provides efficient contact as Tampa Bay's backup catcher

Fortes has provided steady contact in a limited role, batting .250 with a .400 on-base percentage and one homer over his last 14 days. The first-place Rays (95-60) are riding a two-game win streak as they push toward the postseason, utilizing Fortes primarily as the backup backstop behind Liam Hicks. With only 12 at-bats across his last eight games, playing time remains sparse.

Through 106 games this year, Fortes has exceeded our models' .226 projected batting average by hitting .264 with five home runs. While his elevated on-base numbers over the past month are encouraging, his minimal power and modest hard-hit profile align with his career norms. Expect his batting average to hold steady around .250 to .260, but his low volume caps fantasy utility.

Tampa Bay embarks on a seven-game road trip against a brutal slate of starters, including Carlos Rodon (2.95 ERA), Max Fried (2.69 ERA), and Zack Wheeler (2.99 ERA). While a matchup against Andrew Painter (5.70 ERA) is favorable, Fortes is only slated for a handful of starts against elite arms. Leave him on benches in standard formats. Sit.
