Catchers
New York Yankees' Austin Wells is owned in 86% of leagues and is projected for four points. He had two solo homers and two walks across eight plate appearances in his first two games.
Starting catchers usually won't start every game in a weekend series, but because the team had off Friday, there's a decent chance Wells is in the Sunday lineup again.
Washington's Keibert Ruiz is projected for three points and is rostered in just 45% of leagues. In two games, Ruiz had two homers, a double, three RBIs and two runs scored. With a day off already, there's a chance he starts again on Sunday.

Toronto's Alejandro Kirk is owned in just 23% of leagues and is also set for three points. He's played three games already, so there's a decent chance he's going to sit on Sunday. Kirk has two hits, an RBI and a run scored in 12 plate appearances so far.
