Realmuto’s homer off Brandon Pfaadt was his second in three games and third of the year. That he still rates as a top-10 fantasy catcher at this point mostly comes down to him stealing bases; he’s 4-for-4 this season after going just 2-for-4 last year. He totaled 50 steals in the three-year span from 2021-23.

The final score suggests that Suárez had some cushion tonight, but it was just a 1-0 game through seven. The Phillies then scored six runs off Jakob Junis and Joey Cantillo in the eighth before the Guardians finally got a run in the bottom of the ninth. Suárez allowed just four hard-hit balls, three of which checked in at 96-97 mph, and walked only one. He had a rough season debut Sunday against the D-backs, but he figures to be a pretty solid mixed-league option going forward. He’ll face the Pirates next.

It’s the first three-hit game of the year for Harper, who entered the night in an 11-for-63 slump. His 110.6-mph homer was the hardest-hit ball of the game, and his 107.5-mph lineout in the sixth was second on the list.

Bohm has started to show some signs of life, hitting .315 (17-for-54) with one homer and six RBI over his last 15 contests, following an abysmal few weeks to kick off the season. It’ll be Edmundo Sosa getting an opportunity at the hot corner on Saturday afternoon in his place.

Caratini deserves better than being the backup to a quality catcher in Yainer Diaz, but not enough teams realized it when he was a free agent two winters ago. The Astros used both guys tonight, with Diaz going 2-for-4 with two RBI as a DH. Caratini is batting .255/.356/.431 in 59 plate appearances in his limited role.

The Red Sox are trying to ease Connor Wong back into action as he returns from a broken finger, but the truth is that Narváez deserves to be the team’s starting catcher right now. He’s the better defender of the two, and he’s done a nice job offensively in hitting .245/.304/.426 with four homers and 13 RBI in 102 plate appearances.

Langeliers knocked base hits in the third and fifth inning before stepping to the plate with two runners on in the seventh. He came through in a big spot, taking Fernando Cruz deep to center field for a three-run blast to put the A’s ahead. Langeliers then extended the lead with a two-run double in the ninth. The 27-year-old catcher is slashing .248/.308/.473 with eight homers and 22 RBI over 143 plate appearances. Langeliers has made tremendous strides in his contact skills, cutting his strikeout rate to an excellent 14.7 percent.
