Nick Fortes handling backup catching duties for surging Rays ahead of road trip

Nick Fortes has experienced a cooling off period recently, going hitless over his last two games and managing a .143 average over his past 14 contests despite a strong 30-day stretch where he batted .349. The first-place Rays enter the week playing elite baseball atop the AL East with a 71-46 record and a six-game win streak. Fortes continues to operate as the backup catcher on the depth chart behind Liam Hicks, limiting his everyday reliability.

His current .273 batting average and .312 on-base percentage through 85 games outpace his initial baseline projections, though his recent 14-day slump suggests regression is catching up to his hot mid-season surge. While he has provided four home runs and 28 RBI on the year, his part-time usage means his recent power spikes are difficult to trust outside of deeper two-catcher formats.

The Rays face a busy six-game week, opening on the road against the Athletics with favorable matchups against struggling arms like Jacob Lopez, Mason Barnett, and Jack Perkins before returning home to face Baltimore. Although the opening series offers a soft landing against high-ERA pitching, his secondary status on the depth chart makes him a risky fantasy play. Sit.
