Wieters didn't catch back-to-back games during his rehab a signment, andOrioles manager Buck Showalter made it clear that Wieters won't be catching every single game now https://www.chibearsedge.com/alex-bars-jerseys that he's back in the big leagues.
I feel good about the catching depth and Matt feeling like he doesnt have to play every day, Showalter said,. "Theyre just not going to walk in and be Johnny Bench. Its tough, but Matt will be a welcome addition as much for his presence as anything else.
Ideally, having a two-time Gold Glove Award winner return to the lineup will prove to bea catalyst for the struggling club (24-29).
Weve got to play better, Showalter said. Its https://www.chibearsedge.com/chicago-bears-accessories not like its been one phase the whole time. Weve just got to play better. We knew this was going to be https://www.chibearsedge.com/khyiris-tonga-jerseys a tough stretch with the teams were playing and the number of games were playing.
Wieters, 28, batted.308/.339/.500 with five homers and 18 RBIs in 26 games last year prior to surgery. He can become a free agent after this season. -
