2023 Fantasy Outlook
Campusano doesn't have much more to prove with his bat in the minors, as he impressed again for Triple-A El Paso last season, posting a .298/.363/.483 slash line with 14 homers and 60 RBI over 358 plate appearances. His 17.3% strikeout rate and 9.4% walk rate further shone light on his readiness to hit in the majors, though he was just okay with a .250/.260/.333 slash line and a 1:11 BB:K over 50 big-league plate appearances with San Diego. That small sample isn't likely to divert the Padres' view of Campusano as their catcher of the future, and it's telling that in November they chose to non-tender veteran backstop Jorge Alfaro, who worked in a timeshare with Austin Nola last season. Nola will still be around in 2023, but Campusano is going to get an expanded opportunity and could emerge as the team's primary catcher if his bat plays up as expected and his glove is at least passable. The position is no longer the wasteland we've grown accustomed to in fantasy, but it's nonetheless a good idea to keep an eye on Campusano in redraft to see how his playing time shakes out.

Out two months after thumb surgery
Campusano underwent ligament surgery on his left thumb Friday and he'll be out at least two months, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Campusano will likely now be held out until after the All-Star break. The backstop appeared to be making progress after catching for pitchers last weekend, but ultimately the Padres felt the best course was to have him undergo surgery now. With Campusano out, Austin Nola and Brett Sullivan will continue to share catching duties.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Despite strong offensive statistical showings in the upper levels of the minors, Campusano still appears to be third on the Padres' depth chart at catcher. Austin Nola and Victor Caratini may not be better hitters than Campusano, but they are significantly better defenders and they work better with pitchers. Campusano logged a 122 wRC+ as a 22-year-old catcher at Triple-A, which is pretty excellent. He hit 15 home runs while batting .295 with a 20.2 K% and an 8.3 BB% in 81 games. His defense is supposedly trending up, but that might be damning with faint praise. If it ever seems like Campusano is poised for regular work, he's a talented enough hitter to add value in two-catcher leagues. The Padres traded for Jorge Alfaro in November, adding another competitor for playing time to the mix.
