Description: Toronto catcher J.P. Arencibia is hitless in 11 at-bats versus Boston right-hander Clay Buchholz. | Insight: This matchup should be avoided.

Description: Toronto catcher J.P. Arencibia hit his AL-leading eighth home run as part of a 3-for-5 game Wednesday against the Orioles. | Insight: Arencibia's K/BB is 32/2, so even his .268 average is too high. Enjoy the power, but expect the catcher to dip into the .230s eventually. | | |

| Hot | 4/16/2013 10:17:00 PM |

He is 5-for-26 (.192) with 12 strikeouts against the Red Sox left-hander, though he does have two home runs and five RBIs off him. | | |

Description: J.P. Arencibia won't be catching the next time R.A. Dickey pitches. SOURCE: Enrique Rojas, ESPN Deportes | Insight: That means that Henry Blanco will be the catcher Sunday against Boston. This fix might only be temporary as there's no guarantee that Blanco will be more successful at catching the knuckleball than Arencibia was on Tuesday (three passed balls). | | |

Description: Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia is expected to catch R.A. Dickey - at least at the start of the season. | Insight: Originally, Arencibia was going to sit and backup Henry Blanco was going to catch Dickey every fifth day. Then Arencibia did well catching Dickey at the WBC and it now appears that he'll catch him in the regular season. More at-bats for Arencibia is a good thing for fantasy owners as Blanco has zero fantasy value. | | |
