The 30-year-old backstop has spent the entire season in the minors and owns just a .520 OPS through 42 plate appearances. He'll likely serve as a depth piece behind Jesus Rodriguez until Daniel Susac (elbow) returns from the injured list.

Impact Porter initiated the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract with the Giants earlier this week and he's managed to land a big-league deal in a new organization. With Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens performing well as the Mets' catching duo, Porter seems likely to be assigned to Triple-A Syracuse where he will provide depth.

Sitting Saturday Porter isn't in the Royals' lineup Saturday versus Houston

Impact Porter will take a seat after going 2-for-14 with a homer over his last six games. Tyler Cropley will start behind the dish instead while batting seventh.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Playing-time outlook improves Porter will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Porter will receive his second straight turn behind the dish and could operate as the Royals' primary backstop for at least the next week after Kansas City placed Salvador Perez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list and transferred Freddy Fermin (finger) to the 60-day IL on Monday. Since getting called up from Triple-A Omaha on Sept. 11, Porter has started his big-league career on a high note, going 4-for-10 with a home run and a double.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Belts first career homer Porter went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Astros.

Impact The veteran catcher left the game in the fifth inning after a Jose Altuve foul tip ricocheted off Perez's facemask, and Porter took over behind the plate one batter later. The 28-year-old took advantage of the opportunity when he ripped a slider from Joel Kuhnel deep to left field for his first career homer in his second MLB game. Perez is thought to have avoided a concussion, but if he misses further action, Porter is the only other healthy backstop on the Royals' roster with MJ Melendez having made a full-time transition to the outfield earlier in the season.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to join major-league club Porter is expected to be called up by the Royals on Monday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Porter has been productive at Triple-A Omaha this year, hitting .235 with 13 homers, 52 runs, 47 RBI and a stolen base over 109 games. He'll have the opportunity to make his major-league debut late in the regular season, but it seems likely that he'll have to settle for a depth role behind the dish.
