Tue Feb 1323:09Curt Casali Agrees To Minor-League Deal With Marlins
Free-agent catcher Curt Casali agreed to a minor-league deal with the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, according to sources. Casali's deal includes an invitation to major-league spring training. The 35-year-old veteran backstop will join Miami after hitting a meager .175/.290/.200 with no home runs, six RBI and eight runs scored in 40 games played for the Cincinnati Reds in 2023 as their backup. He could have more opportunity with the Fish this year, although he'll enter camp behind both Nick Fortes and Christian Bethancourt. Casali is well off the fantasy radar as a career .220/.314/.380 hitter with 47 long balls and 154 RBI in 502 games across 10 big-league seasons with the Reds, Tampa Bay Rays, San Francisco Giants and Seattle Mariners.

Thu Dec 22 202219:23Reds Sign Curt Casali On Thursday
The Cincinnati Reds signed free-agent catcher Curt Casali to a one-year, $5 million contract on Thursday. The deal includes a mutual option for the 2024 season. In a corresponding move, veteran infielder Mike Moustakas was designated for assignment. Casali will return to the Reds after playing for them from 2018-2020, when he swung the bat well to the tune of a .260/.345/.440 slash line, 18 home runs, 56 RBI, 49 runs scored and two stolen bases in that three-year stretch of time. The 34-year-old is unlikely to return to that sort of offensive prominence this time around as the clear backup to starter Tyler Stephenson, but Casali could become intriguing if Stephenson misses more time with injury. Casali played in 57 games for the Giants and Mariners in 2022, hitting .203/.318/.331 with five home runs, 17 RBI and 20 runs scored.

Thu Aug 11 202221:32Julio Rodriguez, Curt Casali Activated From The Injured List
The Seattle Mariners activated outfielder Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and catcher Curt Casali (oblique) from the injured list on Thursday. Jarred Kelenic was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma, while Luis Torrens was designated for assignment in corresponding moves. Rodriguez spent close to the minimum on the injured list due to a wrist contusion. The 21-year-old slashed .271/.334/.482 with 18 home runs, 57 RBI, 55 runs, and 21 stolen bases in 96 games in 2022. Rodriguez is expected to return to the lineup on Friday against the Texas Rangers. Casali will serve as Seattle's top backup catcher to Cal Raleigh after slashing .231/325/.370 with four homers and 14 RBI across 41 games in 2022.

Tue Aug 2 202216:46Mariners Acquire Curt Casali From Giants
The Seattle Mariners are acquiring catcher Curt Casali (oblique) from the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Michael Stryffeler, according to sources familiar with the situation. Casali has been on the injured list since the beginning of July with a right oblique strain, but he was set to begin a minor league rehab assignment for Triple-A Sacramento last week, so he's probably close to a return to the big leagues. The 33-year-old backstop was hitting just .231/.325/.370 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 13 runs scored in 108 at-bats for the Gigantes before his injury. In Seattle, he'll serve as catching depth behind Cal Raleigh. The M's also have Luis Torrens in the fold at the position.

Mon Jul 4 202221:32Curt Casali Exits Monday's Game Early With Side Injury
San Francisco Giants catcher Curt Casali (oblique) exited Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a side injury. The 33-year-old appeared to have hurt his oblique. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before leaving. Casali is considered day-to-day and will be further evaluated after the game. The veteran catcher is slashing .231/.325/.370 with four home runs, 14 RBI, and 13 runs over 41 games in 2022. Casali Austin Wynns replaced Casali in Monday's game. Wynns would see an uptick in at-bats while Casali is sidelined but isn't on the fantasy radar after hitting .227 over 44 at-bats in 2022.

Fri Jun 17 202214:48Curt Casali Takes A Seat Against Pirates
San Francisco Giants catcher Curt Casali is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. On the year, Casali is hitting .233/.297/.400 with four home runs, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored in 101 plate appearances over 32 games. Austin Wynns, who caught the previous three games before Thursday's game, will be back behind the dish and will hit ninth on Friday against Pirates right-hander Zach Thompson. The 31-year-old backstop has gone 5-for-15 (.333) in his first five games of the 2022 season. Wynns has just nine career home runs in 120 MLB games and will be a low-upside DFS deep-sleeper play on Friday.

Sat May 21 202221:39Curt Casali Placed On The 7-Day Concussion IL
San Francisco Giants catcher Curt Casali was placed on the 7-day concussion list on Saturday. He suffered a concussion after being hit by a foul tip on his mask during Friday's loss to the San Diego Padres. The Giants called purchased catcher Michael Papierski's contract from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Luke Williams was designated for assignment to make room for Papierski on the 40-man roster. Casali will miss at least seven days, and the Giants hope he will be available to return after missing the minimum.

Fri Aug 27 202108:17Curt Casali Exits Thursday's Game With Lower Body Injury
San Francisco Giants catcher Curt Casali (lower body) suffered an injury while running the base paths in Thursday's game against the New York Mets. He was removed from the game and replaced by Chadwick Tromp. The injury is believed to be a lower body injury, but we don't know any specifics beyond that at this point. Buster Posey (knee) has been sidelined with right knee discomfort for the past few games. He is still being considered day-to-day. We'll see if either Posey or Casali are able to go on Friday. If not, Tromp will get the start behind the plate.

Wed Aug 4 202110:37Curt Casali Hits Fifth Homer Of season Tuesday
San Francisco Giants catcher Curt Casali scored his team's only run in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks, going 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk. Casali clobbered a fifth-inning Madison Bumgarner fastball into the left-field seats for his fifth HR of the season. The veteran backup has performed pretty much as expected this season, slashing .221/.329/.404 with 21 RBI in 158 plate appearances. Unfortunately, this does not present much fantasy value, even in deep two-catcher leagues.

Thu Jul 22 202102:03Mets blank Reds behind Stroman's 1-hitter, Smith's slam
Marcus Stroman pitched one-hit ball for eight innings, Dominic Smith launched a grand slam and the New York Mets cruised to a 7-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Stroman (7-8) gave up a leadoff single to Aristides Aquino in the third inning and little else. He struck out seven and walked one while giving New York’s beleaguered bullpen precious rest going into Thursday’s day off. Jeurys Familia struck out three in a hitless ninth. Luis Guillorme hit his first homer of the season and Jonathan Villar also connected for the NL East leaders. Mets manager Luis Rojas returned to the dugout after serving a two-game suspension for excessive arguing on Sunday. Jeff Hoffman (3-5) came off the 10-day injured list to make his first start since May 26 and lasted four innings, allowing seven hits — including Smith's slam — and five runs with three walks.

HOUSTON (AP) — Jose Altuve hit a three-run homer to cap a startling six-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning, getting his jersey yanked off in a frenzied celebration and lifting the Houston Astros over the New York Yankees 8-7 on Sunday. The Astros had been shut out by the Yankees the previous two games, highlighted by ace Gerrit Cole’s three-hitter in a 4-0 win on Saturday night. The win came on Altuve replica jersey giveaway at Minute Maid Park — Houston fans left with a No. 27 shirt, while the All-Star second baseman exited without his. New York led 7-2 after a three-run homer by Gary Sanchez in the eighth inning. After the first two Astros reached base against Domingo Germán in the ninth, Chas McCormick hit a two-run double off Chad Green (3-5). Abraham Toro followed with an RBI double to make it 7-5, still with no outs. Pinch-hitter Jason Castro singled and one out later, Altuve launched his soaring shot to left field. Ralph Garza Jr. (1-2) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings for... [More]

Sun Jun 27 202102:30Diamondbacks beat Padres 10-1, end record 24-game road skid
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks snapped their record 24-game road losing streak by routing the San Diego Padres 10-1 on Saturday night, getting six scoreless innings from Merrill Kelly and four hits and five RBIs from Eduardo Escobar. Escobar and Christian Walker homered for the Diamondbacks, who hadn’t won away from Chase Field since April 25, when Madison Bumgarner pitched seven no-hit innings at Atlanta. The Diamondbacks had dropped 20 of 21 games and 34 of 37 overall. Escobar connected for a two-run homer, and drove in runs with a double, a single and a groundout. He finished a triple shy of the cycle. Kelly (4-7) allowed five hits, struck out five and walked none. Dinelson Lamet (2-3) took the loss, allowing four runs and six hits in 2 1/3 innings.

Bryce Harper blew kisses at a booing crowd to punctuate his home run, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 2-1 in eight innings Friday night for a doubleheader split after Aaron Nola matched a long-standing major league record with 10 straight strikeouts in the opener.

Fri Jun 18 202102:18D'backs fall again for MLB record 23rd straight road loss
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks set a major league record with their 23rd straight road loss, making dubious history in getting trounced by the San Francisco Giants 10-3 Thursday. The dejected D-backs trudged off the field after breaking a tie with the 1963 Mets and ’43 Philadelphia Athletics for road futility. Held to just a lone single by pitcher Zac Gallen through six innings, Arizona fell behind 6-0. The Diamondbacks don’t play again on the road until June 25 at San Diego. Gallen (1-2) allowed four earned runs in 2 2/3 innings in his first start back from a sprained pitching elbow.
