Red Sox’s Reese McGuire: Sitting in third straight

McGuire is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

McGuire looks to have moved back into the No. 2 catcher role, as he’ll be on the bench for the third straight game while Kevin Plawecki picks up another turn behind the plate. Though he’s gotten off to a hot start offensively since being acquired from the White Sox on Aug. 2 — McGuire is hitting .375 with four runs and three RBI in 11 games — his track record at the big-league level suggests he’s unlikely to be much of a fantasy asset if he eventually supplants Plawecki as the No. 1 option.
