Hayes remains backup catcher: Despite Brett Hayes starting a second straight game Thursday against the Giants, Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen still backed John Buck as the team's starting catcher. Im not going to take away the job from Buck. We all now Buck is struggling right now but the way Hayes is swinging the bat right now I will use him, Guillen said, per The Palm Beach Post.

Fantasy Analysis
Hayes entered play Thursday with a .295 average in 14 games. Unfortunately, he has no homers and one RBI, so he isn't having a lot of clutch hits. Buck has more offensive potential, which is why the Marlins aren't giving up on him. Continue to ignore Hayes in Fantasy. (Updated 05/24/2012).
