2024 Fantasy Outlook

The 27-year-old held a small edge in playing time over Jacob Stalling behind the plate for Miami last season, and Stallings has since been let go. Fortes ended up playing in 108 games and had a .204/.263/.299 slash line, which is a sharp drop from the .696 OPS he posted in 2022. He still provided a strong presence behind the plate, which should give him a strong chance at sticking with the big club for 2024. Fortes was never a major offensive threat during his minor-league career, so he seems unlikely to break out and become a solid option for fantasy managers. Christian Bethancourt was acquired in December and is a likely bet to split catching work. Read Past Outlooks

Sitting again Monday

May 13, 2024

Fortes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

ANALYSIS
Fortes will sit for the second day in a row and the third time in four games while Christian Bethancourt gets another turn behind the plate. The Marlins have gotten minimal production from both of their catchers for most of the season, but Bethancourt has shown some semblance of life at the dish of late, going 6-for-13 with two doubles over his last four games. That may be enough to give him the edge on playing time for now over Fortes, who has turned in a .345 OPS over 78 plate appearances on the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Likely back for 2024

CMiami Marlins

October 6, 2023

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald speculates Fortes will remain with the Marlins in 2024 as a backup catcher.

ANALYSIS
Fortes and Jacob Stallings split most of the catching work for the Marlins in 2023, but neither backstop provided much value offensively. Stallings is a candidate to be non-tendered this offseason, while Fortes' pre-arbitration salary should allow him to stick around as a potential backup. The 26-year-old struggled to a .204/.263/.299 slash line in 108 games, but it appears he'll have another chance with the big club in 2024.

See All MLB Rumors

2023 Fantasy Outlook

Fortes saw his first extended action in the majors last season and had a .230/.304/.392 slash line in 72 games. He hit nine home runs and stole five bases, the latter of which is surprising given he entered the campaign with just eight steals in his professional career. Fortes should open 2023 in a backup role behind Jacob Stallings, but he could see a larger share of playing time if Stallings continues to struggle after he posted a .584 OPS in 2022.
