Fantasy Analysis
Towles has also gone without a home run in 11 games after popping four in his first 14. He is really pressing at the plate right now and can't be trusted outside of a No. 2 Fantasy catcher in mixed leagues. Towles is not in jeopardy of losing his status as Houston's No. 1 catcher, and he is still a talented catcher, so if you have room to reserve him on your bench it is recommended rather than dropping Towles.
