2023 Fantasy Outlook
Papierski made his MLB debut as a 26-year-old in 2022 and did very little in his debut campaign. The catcher slashed just .143/.228/.187 across 39 games with the Giants and Reds, with one home run and four RBI. The Tigers then claimed Papierski off waivers from Cincinnati in mid-October, and he finished the year with his third different organization. Detroit has Eric Haase as the presumptive starter at catcher heading into 2023, but the backup role could be open with Tucker Barnhart entering free agency after splitting time with Haase in 2022. Jake Rogers is also in the mix after missing all of last season due to Tommy John surgery he underwent in September 2021. The lack of definition behind Haase certainly presents an opportunity to Papierski, though his minor-league track record doesn't suggest that he'll do much with the bat. The best case scenario for Papierski is probably a few starts here and there, and potentially extended playing time if Haase went down with an injury at some point. That's not a recipe for a very big fantasy impact.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Playing often moving forward
CCincinnati Reds  AAA
August 6, 2022
Papierski and Austin Romine will split the catching duties down the stretch, reports Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
ANALYSIS
Papierski is likely to get a decent amount of playing time over the final two months as Tyler Stephenson is not expected to return after suffering a shoulder injury and Aramis Garcia is out with a broken finger. Cincinnati manager David Bell stated that Papierski and Romine are expected to get equal playing time over the final two months. Neither is known for offense, but Papierski could get a little more playing time due to being a switch hitter. The 26-year-old is likely auditioning for a spot on next year's club.
