Tyler Flowers Drives In Run In Defeat rotoballer.com Tue 6/26/18 7:21 PM

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers had a good night on Tuesday, going 2-for-4 and driving in a run. It's too bad the rest of his team couldn't say the same. Flowers, who has been sharing time with Kurt Suzuki, is not a 10-team starter. He could be a two-catcher league starter, though. When you have 15 RBI and it's almost July, you should only make him your main catcher in the most dire of emergencies.

Tyler Flowers Drives In Three Runs As Braves Beat Dodgers rotoballer.com Sat 6/9/18 8:37 PM

It hasn't been the most consistent season for Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers, who missed time earlier due to injury. He managed to drive in a quarter of his season total of RBI on Sunday night, plating three Braves to help propel them to a 5-3 win. He's now got 12 RBI, though he's only had 70 or so at-bats, and is a decent start, especially in a two-catcher league.

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers is likely hoping that Monday's game was a launching pad for his season. He hit his first homer of the year, a two-run shot. While he only has 25 at-bats due to injury, he's going to get a lot more if he stays healthy. Who wouldn't want a catcher that's hitting .320 right now? Start him for now, but realize that he'll continue to share playing time with Kurt Suzuki. That likely only makes him an option in NL-only and two-catcher leagues.

Atlanta Braves catcher Carlos Perez has been claimed off waivers by the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Perez was designated for assignment after Tyler Flowers came back from the disabled list.

Perez is not worth an add in any fantasy leagues right now, but should get more work in Arlington.

Kurt Suzuki, Playing For Injured Tyler Flowers, Leaves After Being ... rotoballer.com Fri 3/30/18 8:17 PM

Atlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki, who had gotten the starting job after Tyler Flowers went on the disabled list for an oblique injury, had to leave Friday's game after being on the hand by a pitch. Chris Stewart, who was this close to retiring, may be getting the starting job should Suzuki land on the shelf. Maybe it's just a good idea to avoid Braves catchers for a while, mmkay? Stewart went 0-for-3 in the 11-inning loss, by the way.
