Delay’s 2-for-17 mark with 8 strikeouts in 12 spring games couldn’t secure a Pirates Opening Day spot, with Joey Bart set as the top catcher and Henry Davis and Endy Rodríguez vying for backup. He’s Triple-A bound. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, hoping his glove earns a midseason call-up if Pittsburgh’s catching depth falters.
