Higashioka is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Scouting Report
Is a pretty good hitting catcher, especially for the minor leagues, and boasts decent home-run power and run-producing qualities. Does not strike out a lot. Is not a natural leader, game-caller and receiver, so he needs to continue to work on his catching skills in order to maximize his time in Major League Baseball.
Long Range Potential: Backup catcher.
