Rest-of-Season Projections

Goes deep twice in 2025 debut
McGuire went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 11-8 win over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
McGuire had his contract selected from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day to replace Miguel Amaya (oblique) on the roster, and the former wasted no time making a splash with his new team. Carson Kelly, who was scratched Sunday due to an illness, will see the bulk of the playing time behind the plate with Amaya out, but McGuire will mix in here and there. The 30-year-old blasted three home runs and posted a .575 OPS in 53 games for the Red Sox last year, and he has a limited fantasy ceiling in 2025.

McGuire has found a nice home in Boston servicing as the backup catcher for a club that appreciates what he can do behind the plate while being understanding of what he cannot do at the plate. McGuire is a perfectly fine catcher if you need a one category catcher who hits for average as long as you understand that there is more pop in a t-shirt cannon firing Red Sox shirts into the stands between innings than there is in McGuire's bat. The former first round pick has never seen 275 plate appearances in a regular season and that is unlikely changing anytime soon. Fantasy manager in AL-Only leagues can use their last pick or last dollar on McGuire's batting average as long as they do not need to chase late power.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Likely to get called up
The Cubs are expected to call up McGuire to replace Amaya ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Reds, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
The Cubs suffered a big blow during Saturday's loss to the Reds when Miguel Amaya left the contest due to an oblique issue that's likely to require a trip to the injured list. McGuire is expected to take Amaya's place in the roster, but since he's not on the team's 40-man roster, another move may be needed in order to select the 30-year-old's contract.
