It's just a standard day off for the Marlins' starting catcher, as Jeff Mathis will start behind the dish Monday. Saltalamacchia's numbers have dipped pretty dramatically from his 2013 rates and totals, especially in the power department, as he's slugging just .378 compared to .466 in 2013.

However, his batting average (.226) is also below his career .243 average, so in more ways than one, this has been a disappointing year for those that drafted him in fantasy.

Saltalamacchia posted a meager .297 OBP over 63 June at-bats and is capable of much better.
