Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sullivan showed some surprising power in Triple-A last season, belting 17 home runs over 450 plate appearances (his previous high mark was 13 long balls in 501 PAs in Single-A in 2016). He also got a couple short stints with the Padres but didn't produce much, going 3-for-16 with a homer across seven contests. Sullivan will be 31 years old at the start of the 2025 campaign and has just 40 big-league games under his belt, so there's not much of a fantasy angle here. The departure of Kyle Higashioka boosts Sullivan's chance of claiming San Diego's No. 2 backstop role, but the team signed veteran Martin Maldonado to a minor-league deal in mid-January, and the Padres may value his experience and clubhouse leadership over any offensive advantage Sullivan might offer.

Added to taxi squad
Sullivan joined the Pirates' taxi squad Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sullivan has joined the team in Pittsburgh and could be added to the active roster if Joey Bart (back) requires a stint on the injured list. The 29-year-old was acquired from the Padres via trade Wednesday and is not on the 40-man roster.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
2017
Sullivan debuted in 2023 but failed to take advantage of San Diego's unsettled catching situation with a .528 OPS in 33 games, though he did hit .328 at Triple-A. Luis Campusano and Kyle Higashioka should enter spring training as the clear No. 1 and 2 options behind the plate, but Sullivan is a decent bet to receive another look at some point in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Big-league look coming?
Joey Bart is being evaluated for a head injury after being hit by a backswing Tuesday, per Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and Sullivan is the likely candidate to be promoted should the Pirates need to call up a catcher.
ANALYSIS
Current backup Henry Davis is the only healthy catcher on the 40-man roster, as Endy Rodriguez is still on the injured list due to a finger injury. Sullivan was acquired by the Pirates from the Padres in mid-April but has struggled to a .405 OPS in 13 games with Triple-A Indianapolis. Still, his previous MLB experience makes him the more logical call-up candidate over fellow Triple-A catcher Abrahan Gutierrez.
