Technically, the Astros have three catchers on the active roster: Max Stassi, Tim Federowicz, and Evan Gattis. Brian McCann, the de facto starter in 2017 and this season, was recently placed on the disabled list with a sore right knee. On paper, once McCann returns, the Astros’ catching situation is a respectable one.
That said, the 2018 season may have a direct effect on the make up of the position in 2019.
Brian McTaggart of MLB.com in a recent mailbag was asked a question whether Stassi would be the future at the position.
