May 17 2023Severino asked for and was granted his release from the Padres on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino had registered an impressive .876 OPS through 75 plate appearances at Triple-A El Paso, but he wasn't getting regular playing time and should be able to find a better opportunity elsewhere. The 29-year-old journeyman catcher inked a minor-league pact with San Diego in December.
Dec 19 2022Severino signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino appeared in eight games for the Brewers in 2022, going 4-for-18 with two doubles and an RBI. He'd likely need to beat out either Luis Campusano or Austin Nola to crack the Opening Day roster.
Oct 7 2022Severino was released by the Brewers on Friday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino joined Milwaukee on a one-year, $1.9 million deal for 2022, but his season never got off the ground after he was handed an 80-game suspension in early April for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. The 29-year-old appeared in only eight MLB games and spent the rest of the campaign at Triple-A Nashville, where he finished with a .308/.349/.496 slash line in 126 plate appearences.
Aug 3 2022Severino was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino was reinstated from his suspension at the beginning of July, but he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster since both Omar Narvaez and Victor Caratini are remaining with the team following the trade deadline. Severino appeared in just eight games for the Brewers and went 4-for-18 with two doubles, an RBI, three walks and seven strikeouts.
Jul 3 2022The Brewers reinstated Severino (suspension) from the restricted list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino will be joining the big club for the first time this season after he was handed an 80-game suspension shortly before Opening Day due to a violation of MLB's performance-enhancing drugs policy. Prior to his suspension, Severino had been slated to serve as the primary backup to Omar Narvaez, but that role will seemingly belong to Victor Caratini moving forward. As a result, Severino has dabbled at first base during his recent 12-game rehab assignment between Double-A Biloxi and Triple-A Nashville, and he'll also be an option at designated hitter if the Brewers want to get another right-handed bat in the lineup. Severino is unlikely to pick up more than a couple of starts per week.
Jun 24 2022Severino (suspension) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Nashville on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino began a rehab assignment at Double-A Biloxi last week and hit .435 with a homer, four runs, an RBI and a stolen base over six games. He's eligible to return from his suspension during the first week in July and has been getting some looks at first base during his rehab stint.
Jun 18 2022Severino (suspension) played first base in his first rehab game for Double-A Biloxi on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He hasn't played first base before in the majors, but as a right-handed hitter with power, it's possible Severino could get looks at first base when the Brewers face lefties. This is more a testament to the fact the Brewers like the production they have gotten from Omar Narvaez and Victor Caratini at catcher, and Severino doesn't have any minor-league options remaining. Severino is a career .262/.324/.441 hitter against lefties, good for a 102 wRC+. He is due back from his suspension the first week of July.
Jun 17 2022Severino (suspension) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Biloxi on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino was issued an 80-game suspension in early April after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, and he isn't eligible to rejoin the Brewers until early July. However, he'll work on his conditioning in the minors over the next few weeks in hopes that he'll be able to be added to the active roster as soon as he's eligible.
Apr 7 2022The Brewers placed Severino (suspension) on the restricted list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The transaction was made Tuesday after Severino was handed an 80-game suspension for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. Severino won't count toward the Brewers' 40-man roster while he serves the suspension. The Brewers have since acquired Victor Caratini from the Padres to serve as their No. 2 catcher behind Omar Narvaez.
Apr 5 2022Severino was issued an 80-game suspension Tuesday after testing positive for Clomiphene, a performance-enhancing substance, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino was signed in November to back up Omar Narvaez behind the plate, but he'll now be ineligible to play until July 3, barring an appeal of the suspension. Mario Feliciano and Brett Sullivan are the other catchers on Milwaukee's 40-man roster, but they have a single MLB plate appearance between them, so it's possible the team will look to bring in outside help at the position.
Apr 3 2022Severino went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's spring game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino has been seeing it well in his first spring training with the Brewers, going 10-for-23 (.435) with two homers, nine RBI and a 6:2 BB:K. He is slated to open the season backing up starting catcher Omar Narvaez, but he should see a fair amount of starts against left-handed pitchers, having posted an .818 OPS over 161 plate appearances against southpaws last season.
Nov 21 2021Severino signed a one-year, $1.9 million contract with the Brewers on Sunday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino appeared in a career-high 113 games with the Orioles in 2021 but elected free agency in early November after he was outrighted to Triple-A. He'll land a major-league contract with Milwaukee after he slashed .248/.308/.383 with 11 home runs, 46 RBI and 32 runs last year. The 28-year-old should serve as the primary backup to Omar Narvaez after Manny Pina signed with Atlanta.
Nov 5 2021Severino elected free agency Friday after being outrighted to Triple-A by Baltimore, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino hit .248/.308/.383 in 113 games as the Orioles primary catcher in 2021, but the team still opted to remove him from the 40-man roster. Nick Ciuffo has also been outrighted, leaving Baltimore with zero catchers on its big-league roster.
Nov 3 2021The Orioles outrighted Severino to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.comreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino served as Baltimore's primary catcher during the 2021 campaign, but the team won't carry him on the 40-man roster into the offseason after posting a .248/.308/.383 slash line with 11 homers, 46 RBI and 32 runs in 113 games. If he sticks around Baltimore he may need a strong showing in spring training to nab a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Oct 2 2021Severino isn't starting Saturday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino had started each of the last five games, going 7-for-17 with a homer, three RBI, three walks and five strikeouts. Nick Ciuffo will start behind the dish and bat eighth.
Sep 28 2021Severino went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three of the catcher's hits were singles, including one that knocked in Austin Hays as the go-ahead run in the sixth inning. Severino is on a seven-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 10-for-26 (.385) with a home run, five RBI and a pair of runs scored. The hot finish to the year has lifted his slash line to .247/.308/.387 across 402 plate appearances.
Sep 26 2021Severino went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a pair of walks in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The catcher tried to spark a rally in the bottom of the ninth inning, but Baltimore fell short. Severino has hit safely in his last six games, going 7-for-22 (.318) in that span. He's lifted his slash line to .242/.304/.383 with 11 homers 44 RBI, 32 runs scored and 18 doubles through 398 plate appearances. Severino may get more time off down the stretch as Baltimore could take the last week of the season to evaluate Austin Wynns and Nick Ciuffo.
Sep 25 2021Severino will sit Saturday against Texas, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino sits for the second time in three games. Austin Wynns takes over behind the plate, catching for Chris Ellis.
Sep 23 2021Severino isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Austin Wynns will start behind the plate and bat ninth.
Sep 18 2021Severino will sit Saturday against Boston, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino missed a pair of games earlier in the week with groin soreness but returned to the lineup Friday, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. He won't be asked to start two games in a row immediately after returning to action, so it will be Austin Wynns back behind the plate Saturday.
Sep 17 2021Severino is starting Friday against the Red Sox after missing the previous two games with groin soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino did not play in the final two games of the series against the Yankees after exiting Tuesday. He'll return to the lineup Friday, pushing Austin Wynns back to the bench.

Sep 15 2021Severino (groin) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino was removed from Tuesday's loss due to groin soreness, and he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Austin Wynns will start at catcher and bat ninth.
Sep 14 2021Severino was pulled from Tuesday's loss to the Yankees with groin soreness, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old went 0-for-3 before being lifted from the contest, and manager Brandon Hyde said the backstop is considered day-to-day.

Sep 6 2021Severino is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino will get a breather for Monday's series opener, which begins at 1:05 p.m. ET.

Austin Wynns will catch for starting pitcher Spenser Watkins on Sunday.
Aug 27 2021Severino went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and six total RBI in Thursday's 13-1 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was a massive performance from the catcher, whose big blast capped a six-run fifth inning for Baltimore. Severino hadn't homered since Aug. 6, and he had all of three RBI before Thursday's explosive effort. For the year, he's slashing .235/.302/.379 with 10 long balls, 36 RBI, 27 runs scored and 12 doubles in 325 plate appearances.

Aug 11 2021Severino (knee) will start at catcher and bat sixth Wednesday against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino was on the bench for the past two games while he managed a bruised right knee. The 28-year-old's .691 OPS on the season is 162 points better than Austin Wynns' mark, so a healthy Severino should be fairly secure in his role as the Orioles' No. 1 catcher.
Aug 10 2021Severino (knee) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against Detroit, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino exited Saturday's game against Tampa Bay with a bruised knee. He did not play in Sunday's series finale, and given that he's out of the starting nine again Tuesday, it seems likely that he's still managing the issue. The backstop can continue to be considered day-to-day until further update is provided.

He's added 25 RBI, 22 runs scored and a mediocre .229/.306/.348 slash line, but he remains Baltimore's No. 1 option behind the dish, as Austin Wynns has hit even worse.

Jul 16 2021Severino went 3-for-4 with a solo home run Friday in a loss to Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The backstop starred for Baltimore in a game during which the team's offense was mostly quiet. Severino racked up half of the Orioles' hits, and he produced one of their two runs with an eighth-inning solo homer to left field. The three-hit effort was Severino's second of the season, and it snapped an eight-game slump during which he batted .100 (2-for-20) with nine strikeouts.

Jun 13 2021Severino is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Tampa Bay, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The catching tandem has essentially split time during the past two weeks, and that pattern will likely continue going forward.
Jun 12 2021Severino will sit Saturday against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino owns a .630 OPS this season after posting a .730 OPS over the last two seasons.

Apr 14 2021Severino is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino started behind the plate and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Game 1, so it's no surprise to see him on the bench for the nightcap.

Mar 31 2021Severino finished the Orioles' Grapefruit League slate with a .200/.250/.350 slash line to go with a home run and seven RBI over 40 at-bats. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino's performance this spring wasn't anything special, but he'll still head into Opening Day as Baltimore's clear No. 1 catcher following consecutive seasons with an OPS north of .700. Even if he takes a step back offensively in 2021, his superior defense compared to No. 2 option Chance Sisco should keep Severino atop the depth chart, at least until the Orioles are willing to give top prospect Adley Rutschman a look in the majors.
Dec 1 2020Severino agreed to a one-year, $1.825 million deal with the Orioles on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was his first year as an arbitration-eligible player, and he cashes in after hitting .250 with five home runs in 48 games last season. Severino should open the year as the starter, but as soon as the Orioles are ready to start the clock on top prospect Adley Rutschman, he will have to move to a backup role.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino owns a surprisingly strong .310/.384/.520 slash line on the season, but it's still no surprise that he won't be asked to start twice on one day. Chance Sisco gets the nod for the afternoon game, but Severino should return for the nightcap.
Sep 1 2020Severino will sit Tuesday against the Mets, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino has been surprisingly effective at the plate this season, hitting .309/.380/.505 through 109 plate appearances. Chance Sisco will get the start in his absence.
Aug 28 2020Severino (hip) is starting at catcher and batting fifth Friday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He had been sidelined all week with right hip flexor tightness, but fortunately Severino will not require a stay on the injured list. This is perfect timing, as Severino will get to play the full series in the hitter-friendly park in Buffalo.

Aug 26 2020Severino (hip) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino picked up the injury while running to first base on his base hit to lead off the bottom of the seventh. He finished the day 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored before Bryan Holaday came on to pinch run for him. The Orioles should provide another update on Severino prior to Tuesday's series opener in Tampa Bay, but he can be viewed as day-to-day for now.
Aug 19 2020Severino is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino was in the Baltimore lineup as either a designated hitter or a catcher in each of the past six contests, and since he was behind the plate for Tuesday's 10-inning loss, he's likely just getting some maintenance for Wednesday's matinee game. He reached base three times in five plate appearances Tuesday, boosting his OPS to 1.018 on the season.
Aug 16 2020Severino went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and one strikeout in Sunday's loss to the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino got a break behind the plate Sunday while serving as the designated hitter, and he put the Orioles back in the game with his three-run blast in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old has been on a tear to begin the season as he carries a 1.027 OPS with five home runs and 18 RBI over his first 18 games.
Aug 13 2020Severino went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and two runs scored in Thursday's 11-4 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After getting the night off Wednesday, Severino put together a great day at the plate in Thursday's win. The backstop's night was highlighted by a three-run long ball off Connor Brogdon in the eighth inning, but he also boosted his line with a pair of singles. Severino is now slashing an impressive .333/.407/.625 on the campaign.
Aug 12 2020Severino is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino will head to the bench after going 1-for-5 with a pair of RBI during Tuesday's series opener. Chance Sisco is starting behind the dish in his stead Wednesday.
Aug 11 2020Severino (hand) is in the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino missed Sunday's contest while dealing with a sore hand after he was hit by a pitch Saturday, but he'll return to action for the series opener against Philadelphia. Since the issue wasn't a major one, the 27-year-old should be available for the Orioles going forward.
Aug 9 2020Severino's absence from the lineup Sunday against the Nationals is the result of a left hand injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he was out of the lineup Saturday in what was a planned rest day, Severino entered the contest as a pinch hitter. He reached base after getting hit on the hand by a pitch, but the 27-year-old is apparently still dealing with some residual soreness a day later. The Orioles don't believe Severino's injury is a major concern, so after a team off day Monday, he could be ready to rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's series opener versus the Phillies.
Aug 8 2020Severino isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and one walk in Friday's blowout win against the Nationals and he'll get a breather Saturday. Chance Sisco will take his place behind the plate, batting sixth.

Aug 1 2020Severino was added back to the Orioles' lineup Saturday, batting sixth as the designated hitter, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino was supposed to get the day off but will be needed as a hitter after Chris Davis was scratched with knee soreness.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the eighth inning off Jonathan Loaisiga. It was his first home run of the season.

Jul 26 2020Severino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old started the first two games of the season and went 1-for-6 with a walk, but he'll take a seat for the series finale. Chance Sisco will take over behind the plate for the Orioles.
Mar 18 2020Severino has slashed .217/.240/.435 with one home run and three RBI over 23 at-bats this spring. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino's numbers over nine games during spring training don't jump off the page, but he's still expected to serve as the No. 1 catcher in Baltimore once the 2020 season gets underway, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. The 26-year-old will likely be a risky fantasy option this season after hitting .218/.295/.354 with 15 home runs over the past two seasons.
Feb 16 2020Severino resumed working out Sunday after missing the last few days of camp while tending to an illness, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino missed less than a week's worth of workouts, so he'll have plenty of time to get back up to full speed by the time Opening Day arrives. The 26-year-old is projected to begin the season as the Orioles' No. 1 catcher after slashing .249/.321/.420 with 13 home runs and 44 RBI in his first season with Baltimore in 2019.
Sep 25 2019Severino is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Severino is slashing just .195/.283/.366 with two home runs and seven RBI through 16 games this month.

Jul 8 2018Severino is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.Severino will head to the bench for the second time this series while Carter Kieboom earns another look behind the plate. With a .171/.256/.254 slash line across 62 games this season, Severino has been one of the worst-performing everyday backstops in baseball this season and could be at risk of falling into more of a timeshare with Kieboom.
Jul 7 2018Severino went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's win over the Marlins.The home run was Severino's second in his last five appearances (four starts), bringing him up to four for his career -- he totaled two long balls in the first 92 games at the big-league level. Even with this recent surge, Severino is still batting just .171/.256/.254 this season. There should be better options available in two-catcher mixed leagues.
Jul 6 2018Severino is not in the lineup against Miami on Friday.Severino will take a seat following five straight starts behind the plate. In his absence, Spencer Kieboom will catch Gio Gonzalez and bat eighth.
Jun 30 2018Severino is out of the lineup for the second straight day Saturday against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.Severino had started seven of eight games behind the plate heading into Friday's game but will now sit in favor of Spencer Kieboom for the second straight day. It's understandable that the Nationals would want to move on from Severino as a starter, as he's hitting a miserable .175/.265/.231 on the season. Kieboom doesn't look like the answer, though, as he's barely doing better, hitting just .205/.295/.231. It's not a great situation for Washington with Matt Wieters still not close to returning from a hamstring injury.
Jun 29 2018Severino is not in the lineup against the Phillies on Friday.Severino will head to the bench for a standard day off following four straight starts behind the plate. In his place, Spencer Kieboom will catch Erick Fedde and bat eighth.
Jun 19 2018Severino is not starting Tuesday against the Orioles.Severino has just two hits in his last 11 games, hitting .069/.156/.069 over that stretch and just .190/.291/.241 on the season. Spencer Kieboom gets the start behind the plate Tuesday.
Jun 17 2018Severino is out of the starting lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.After starting behind the plate in back-to-back contests, Severino will cede the catcher position to Spencer Kieboom, who will catch Tanner Roark in the series finale.
Jun 13 2018Severino is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.Severino has just one hit in his last seven games and is hitting .198/.301/.254 on the season. His replacement, Spencer Kieboom, is just 5-for-24 on the year.
Jun 9 2018Severino is not in lineup against the Giants on Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.Severino will hit the bench after starting the past three games, going 0-for-10 with one walk during that span. Spencer Kieboom will catch Gio Gonzalez and bat eighth in his stead.
Jun 3 2018Severino is not in the lineup Sunday against the Braves.Severino will be withheld from the starting lineup for the second consecutive game as the Nationals close out their weekend series against the Braves. Spencer Kieboom will take over behind the plate and bat eighth.
May 28 2018Severino is out of Monday's lineup against the Orioles, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.He started the last three games behind the dish, but will retreat to the bench for the Memorial Day matinee. Spencer Kieboom will start at catcher and hit ninth.
May 23 2018Severino is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.Severino has hit respectably enough for a catcher this season, posting a .241/.343/.322 line, but most of his offensive value comes from having a decent on-base percentage, which doesn't help fantasy owners in most leagues. Spencer Kieboom will get the start Wednesday.
May 19 2018Severino is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.Spencer Kieboom will handle the catching duties while batting eighth in the lineup for the afternoon contest while Severino occupies a spot on the bench. Look for Severino to return to the starting nine in Game 2.
May 13 2018Severino will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.Severino has taken over as the Nationals' primary backstop following Matt Wieters' (hamstring) placement on the disabled list Friday. The 24-year-old will draw his fourth straight start Sunday and could be worth a look for those looking for a warm body behind the plate in NL-only and two-catcher mixed settings. Severino has gotten off to an impressive start to the season with a .390 on-base percentage in 82 plate appearances, but nothing in his minor-league track record suggests he'll remain an on-base machine.
Apr 22 2018Severino went 0-for-2 with one RBI in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.While Severino didn't record a hit, he found a way to contribute at the dish with a sacrifice fly in the second inning to put the Nationals ahead early. Through 13 games the 24-year-old is slashing .270/.378/.324 and has six RBI. Severino figures to see limited playing time this season as the team's backup catcher behind the veteran, Matt Wieters.
Apr 10 2018Severino went 1-for-3 with a walk and a double in Monday's 2-0 win over the Braves.He's started the last three games with Matt Wieters (oblique) and Miguel Montero (personal) out and reached base six times. Severino's 1.104 OPS won't last, and there may be nothing he can do to hang onto a spot on the 25-man roster once the Nats' two veteran catchers return to action, but in the short term he's worth rostering while he's enjoying this hot streak.
Apr 3 2018Severino went 2-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and an RBI in Monday's 8-1 win over the Braves.The 24-year-old is platooning behind the plate with Miguel Montero until Matt Wieters (oblique) gets healthy, and Severino took full advantage of his first opportunity in the big leagues this season. He's never shown much offensive upside in the minors, however, so even in a deep NL-only format, his fantasy value will likely be minimal.

Dec 11 2017General manager Mike Rizzo said the Nationals are "cool with" Severino being their backup catcher next season, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.Rizzo seemed hesitant to name Severino as the backup, and it's possible he opens the season in the minors if the team ultimately finds a cheap, veteran alternative. If he does start the year as Washington's backup catcher, however, he could be in line for a modest workload as the Nationals are looking to scale back Matt Wieters' time behind the dish next season. Still, barring any injuries, he won't be viewed as anything more than a backup in 2018, limiting his fantasy value.
