Gosewisch is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates. Gosewisch is receiving a regular maintenance day after catching the last four games for the Diamondbacks. He'll give way to Jordan Pacheco, who will catch Jeremy Hellickson, representing an exact repeat of last Sunday.

Gosewisch is out of the lineup Sunday against the Giants. The Diamondbacks will just be resting Gosewisch with the two teams playing a day game after a night game. Jordan Pacheco will step in behind the plate, catching for Jeremy Hellickson.

Gosewisch is out of the lineup Wednesday, MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reports. Jordan Pacheco will get the start at catcher as Gosewisch gets a standard day off Wednesday. Look for him to be back behind the dish for Thursday's game against Madison Bumgarner and the Giants.

Gosewisch was 1-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in an 8-4 win over the Padres on Monday. Gosewisch has been pretty quiet at the plate in the early going, posting a .217/.250/.217 line so far with just three runs scored and this lone RBI. The 31-year-old is seeing the bulk of the playing time behind the dish, but there is little evidence that he can produce even at the level of an average major leaguer for fantasy purposes. He will find roster spots in deep leagues, but don't count on much production.

Gosewisch will in fact get the start behind the dish Saturday, contrary to a previous report, the Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro reports. Supposedly Gerald Laird was the preference to catch rookie Archie Bradley on Saturday, but Laird was having some back issues prior to the game, so there was a late switch. Either way, both Gosewisch and Laird are unappealing in most fantasy formats.

Gosewisch is out of the lineup Saturday. Gerald Laird will get the start against Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers on Saturday, as he and Gosewisch continue to form one of the least appealing fantasy catching duos in all of baseball.

Gosewisch is out of the Diamondbacks' lineup Wednesday against the Giants. Gerald Laird will step in for his Diamondbacks debut, pushing Gosewisch to the bench after two straight starts. Gosewisch put together a .336/.378/.445 batting line in Cactus League play (45 at-bats) and has singled twice in eight at-bats so far this season, but his offensive upside is among the lowest of any starting catcher.

Gosewisch was named the Diamondbacks starting catcher Monday, according to the Arizona Republic. D-backs general manager Dave Stewart didn't give a ringing endorsement of the decision saying, "I don't know which other way we could go." His bat has never been the strong part of his game, but he has shown a bit of success during spring training. Gosewisch is hitting .286/.300/.286 with three RBI in 11 games. Where Gosewisch really adds value is with his defensive skills behind the plate. That's great for the D-backs and their pitchers, but not so much for fantasy owners.

Gosewisch is part of an open competition for the Diamondbacks' starting catcher spot this spring, the team's official site reports. He'll start Tuesday's spring game against Arizona State, perhaps suggesting that the team considers him to be the early frontrunner. The alternatives include Peter O'Brien, Gerald Laird, Blake Lalli, Rule 5 Oscar Hernandez, and a handful of others. Gosewisch hit .225/.242/.310 with a home and seven RBI over 41 games with Arizona last season.

Gosewisch could be in line for more playing time following the trade of Miguel Montero to Chicago earlier this week. The D-backs are in the market for catching help, but Montero has been a workhorse for Arizona, which stands to open up more opportunities to start for Gosewisch even if a more experienced veteran is obtained to replace Montero. Defensively, Gosewisch can hold his own as a big league catcher, but his bat offers little for fantasy owners to get excited about as he may be pressed to push above the .600 OPS mark.
