Playing time dwindling Romine remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Impact Both Romine and Robinson Chirinos are expected to see few opportunities to play in September after top backstop Willson Contreras was reinstated from the injured list Saturday. In the five games since Contreras returned, Chirinos has started once, while Romine has yet to crack the lineup.

Starting Sunday Romine will start at catcher and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Romine will give Robinson Chirinos a breather in the series finale after the latter started the past three games behind the plate. Romine is slashing just .200/.200/.314 this season with a single home run, so he doesn't offer a ton of fantasy appeal when he's in the lineup.

Starting Sunday Romine is starting at catcher and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact With Robinson Chirinos getting the day off in the series finale, Romine will slide into the lineup. Chirinos has become the team's primary catcher with Willson Contreras (knee) on the injured list. That's elevated Romine to the backup role, which doesn't give him a ton of fantasy value, though he'd see an uptick if anything happened to Chirinos.

Reinstated from 60-day IL Romine (wrist) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

The 32-year-old went 4-for-10 with two doubles, two runs and a strikeout in his rehab stint, and he'll now serve as a depth option at catcher after Willson Contreras (knee) was placed on the 10-day IL.
