Swats homer Friday
Maldonado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 13-9 win against Colorado on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Maldonado's long ball was a fifth-inning two-run shot to left field that gave the Padres a 10-1 lead. It was his first homer since April 6 -- a span of 16 games. Maldonado's .207/.233/.328 slash line is far from impressive, but if he keeps up this pace he'll finish with a batting average above the Mendoza Line for the first time since 2020. The veteran backstop has started four of San Diego's past seven games behind the plate, with Elias Diaz starting the other three.

Maldonado, simply put, is what he is. If you find your two-catcher team strong in average but weak on power, he is someone you can consider with your final pick or last dollar because he has hit double-digit homers in each of the past four full seasons. That is where the fantasy goodness ends because he has not seen the good side of the Mendoza Line since 2020 and it remains to be seen how much the pull-heavy hitter will miss aiming at the Crawford Boxes for homers. Maldonado plays more than his bat should because he is great at controlling the running game and blocking pitches while grading out as a poor framer. The best case scenario for Maldonado's power is that he signs with the southsiders in Chicago but your roster must have the batting average talent on it to insulate you from the damage 400+ at bats from Maldonado can do to your spot in that category.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Roster spot secure for now
According to Scott Merkin of MLB.com, White Sox manager Pedro Grifol indicated Wednesday that Maldonado isn't currently in danger of losing his roster spot.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old backstop joined Chicago on a one-year, $4 million deal during the offseason, but he has a .081/.132/.128 slash line and 37.6 percent strikeout rate through 93 plate appearances. Maldonado began the season as the primary catcher but has fallen into the backup job, with Korey Lee now seeing more reps. Maldonado hit below .200 in each of the previous three seasons with Houston but at least offered some pop with double-digit homers each year.
