Matt Treanor went 1-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's win over the Cubs. It was just his sixth start of the season, as Treanor's playing time has been limited with A.J. Ellis faring well. The 36-year-old career backup won't make any noise in fantasy even if injury forces him into a bigger role.
