Cubs' Reese McGuire: Drives in five in win
McGuire went 1-for-2 with a grand slam, a walk, five total RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Angels.
McGuire stretched the Cubs' lead to 6-0 with his grand slam in the fourth inning, and he added another RBI on a sacrifice fly in the seventh. The catcher entered Saturday just 1-for-14 with one RBI over seven games in August. Overall, he's at a .223/.250/.457 slash line with seven homers, 21 RBI, 15 runs scored and one double across 101 plate appearances this season.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Drawing start for day game
McGuire will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Brewers.
Carson Kelly caught all nine innings of the Cubs' 4-3 win Wednesday night, so he'll get a breather for Thursday's matinee and give way to McGuire behind the plate. McGuire looked to be at risk at losing out on the top backup catcher role when Miguel Amaya was activated from the 60-day injured list Aug. 12 after a lengthy absence due to an oblique injury, but Amaya sustained a sprained left ankle in his first game back in action and went back on the IL two days later.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Racks up season-high four RBI
McGuire went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 12-5 loss to the White Sox.
McGuire blasted homer No. 6 on the season, racking up a season-high three hits and four RBI in the process. The 30-year-old backstop has played rather sparingly as Carson Kelly's backup behind the plate, but the former has been quite useful when the latter has needed a day off amid Miguel Amaya's (oblique) absence. Through 23 outings, McGuire is hitting .243 with six homers, one double and 15 RBI covering 74 at-bats.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Drives in two Sunday
McGuire went 2-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 11-0 win over the Cardinals
McGuire picked up a start in place of Carson Kelly in the series finale, and the former delivered his first multi-hit performance since June 10. While McGuire is batting just .237 with a .262 on-base percentage, he has provided some degree of fantasy utility by tallying five home runs, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored in only 18 games so far this season, though his ceiling is certainly limited due to his backup role. The veteran catcher is best viewed as a DFS dart throw on days when he's in the lineup.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Goes deep again in easy win
McGuire went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Cardinals.
McGuire is making the most out of his playing time as Chicago's backup catcher, as he now has five home runs in only 14 games this season. For comparison, he hit just three long balls last year in 53 games for Boston and only one home run the year before that across 72 games. McGuire will likely be squeezed off the roster when Miguel Amaya (oblique) returns in the coming weeks, but for now, the former remains an intriguing DFS bargain option on days that he's in the lineup.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Goes deep in loss
McGuire went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Mariners.
Starting for a resting Carson Kelly, McGuire continued to serve as a very capable backup catcher. The veteran has gone deep four times already in only 12 games, helping push his OPS to .883. McGuire's career high in home runs is five, which he recorded across 30 games for the Blue Jays back in 2019. He may ultimately get bumped from the roster whenever Miguel Amaya (oblique) is able to return from the injured list, but McGuire is at least providing some short-term fantasy value on days when he's in the lineup.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Filling in for resting Carson Kelly
McGuire will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
McGuire will crack the lineup for the second time in Chicago's last five contests while Carson Kelly gets a breather for the series finale. Since getting called up from Triple-A Iowa on May 25, McGuire has slugged three home runs and owns an .840 OPS over 11 games. Despite his success, McGuire is expected to head back to Triple-A once Miguel Amaya (oblique) is able to return from the injured list.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Starting Friday
McGuire is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Friday's game against the Pirates.
Carson Kelly, who is mired in a 4-for-37 slump, is getting the Friday afternoon contest off. McGuire has been hot lately, going 5-for-12 with a double and two RBI across his last three games, but he gets a tricky matchup against Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Enters lineup Tuesday
McGuire is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
With regular starter Carson Kelly mired in a 2-for-30 slump, McGuire will get a chance to start behind the plate Tuesday and face Philadelphia righty Mick Abel. McGuire is unlikely to unseat the struggling Kelly entirely, though manager Craig Counsell may look to lighten Kelly's load a bit more in an effort to get his bat hot again. Miguel Amaya (oblique) is also eyeing an early-July return from the injured list and could jump into the No. 1 catcher role when he's healthy.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Starting Thursday
McGuire is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Thursday's game against the Nationals.
McGuire will pick up his first start since Sunday as Carson Kelly gets a breather. McGuire launched two home runs in his first game of the year back on May 25, but he's gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts across three games since then. The veteran catcher doesn't have a ton of fantasy value as long as Kelly is healthy, and McGuire will likely be moved off the MLB roster entirely whenever Miguel Amaya (oblique) is able to return from the injured list.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Goes deep twice in 2025 debut
McGuire went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 11-8 win over the Reds.
McGuire had his contract selected from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day to replace Miguel Amaya (oblique) on the roster, and the former wasted no time making a splash with his new team. Carson Kelly, who was scratched Sunday due to an illness, will see the bulk of the playing time behind the plate with Amaya out, but McGuire will mix in here and there. The 30-year-old blasted three home runs and posted a .575 OPS in 53 games for the Red Sox last year, and he has a limited fantasy ceiling in 2025.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: Called up as Amaya replacement
The Cubs selected McGuire's contract from Triple-A Iowa, and he'll start behind the plate against the Reds on Sunday.
McGuire signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs in January and has spent the entire season at Iowa, slashing .282/.366/.465 with three home runs and two stolen bases in 21 games. He'll be joining the Cubs as a replacement for Miguel Amaya (oblique), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Carson Kelly will likely see the bulk of the playing time behind the dish for Chicago in Amaya's absence, though McGuire could be in store for a start or two per week.

Cubs' Reese McGuire: MiLB deal from Northsiders
The Cubs signed McGuire to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.
McGuire, who will turn 30 in March, sports a career .252/.300/.364 batting line over parts of seven major-league seasons. The veteran backstop will likely begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Iowa as catching depth.

Reese McGuire: Elects free agency
McGuire elected free agency Monday.
McGuire initially remained in the Boston organization after being outrighted to Triple-A Worcester back in August, but with the minor-league season over, he's now on the free-agent market. The veteran catcher is a career .252/.300/.364 hitter over parts of seven big-league seasons.

Red Sox's Reese McGuire: Outrighted to Worcester
McGuire cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Worcester by the Red Sox on Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
McGuire was DFA'd by Boston to make room on the roster for the acquisition of catcher Danny Jansen, but the former will stay within the organization. Before being jettisoned from the 40-man roster, McGuire was slashing .209/.280/.295 with three home runs and 18 RBI across 158 major-league plate appearances this season.

Red Sox's Reese McGuire: DFA'd by Boston
The Red Sox designated McGuire for assignment Sunday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
The 29-year-old will be bumped off the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster to make room for trade acquisition Danny Jansen, who will replace McGuire as Boston's new No. 2 catcher. McGuire posted a .209/.280/.295 slash line with three home runs in 52 games for the Red Sox this season.

Red Sox's Reese McGuire: Getting second straight start
McGuire will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Royals, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
McGuire will be rewarded with a second straight start to close out of the Red Sox's pre-All-Star-break schedule after he went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 5-0 win. Though he's delivered two-hit performances in both of his last two starts, McGuire is still the clear No. 2 option at catcher behind Connor Wong, who holds a 204-point edge in OPS (.812 to .608) on the season.

Red Sox's Reese McGuire: Starts with Wong on paternity list
McGuire will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
McGuire will make the first of what will likely be two or three starts versus Toronto after the Red Sox placed top backstop Connor Wong (personal) on the paternity list Monday. Assuming Wong is away from the Red Sox for the maximum three games, McGuire will presumably move back into the No. 2 role following Thursday's team off day. The Red Sox called up Tyler Heineman from Triple-A Worcester to provide an insurance option at catcher behind McGuire while Wong is on paternity leave.
