Jarrod Saltalamacchia hits fifth home run
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit his fifth home run of the season Monday.

Saltalamacchia took a fastball out to center in the top of the third inning. He later singled, finishing the game 2 for 3. Saltalamacchia is hitting .270/.347/.495 in 111 at-bats. He'll face White Sox starter Jose Quintana Tuesday.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia could get left behind this week
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

At the weak catcher position, you can definitely do worse than Red Sox backstop Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who continues to make up for subpar batting averages with his solid power. The biggest knock against him is the team has made an effort to hide him against lefties all year long, and for good reason; the 28-year-old has a meager .513 on-base plus slugging percentage against them  in just 16 at bats.

With four left-handed pitchers on the schedule for Week 7 (May 13-19), our Scott White is urging Fantasy owners to sit Salty down in his Hit Parade column. Saltalamacchi will either be out of the lineup for those games against lefties (he has started just three out of 12 games against lefty starters), or he will struggle to get going. Either way, Week 7 is a good time to get him out of the lineup.
