Delay will sit Friday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Delay has emerged as the Pirates' primary catcher, starting four straight games prior to Friday's contest. Even with that role, however, he's unlikely to generate much fantasy interest, as he's hit .232/.290/.293 with just one home run in 37 games this season. Tyler Heineman starts behind the plate Friday.

Delay is making his third consecutive start, all of which have come against right-handed pitchers. His recent usage would seem to suggest that he's supplanted Tyler Heineman as the Pirates' preferred option behind the dish.

EDGE Analysis

Delay started behind the plate in four of the Pirates' last five games, but he could see his opportunities take a hit now that Tyler Heineman -- who will start at catcher Thursday -- is back from a brief stint on the injured list. Before missing time with a right groin strain, the switch-hitting Heineman had occupied the larger side of a platoon with the righty-hitting Delay, who has done his best work against southpaws (111 wRC+ in 42 plate appearances).

EDGE Analysis

Delay had started just once in the Pirates' last six games, but he looks set to tentatively take over as the team's No. 1 backstop.

EDGE Analysis
