Mejia went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to Texas.

The backup catcher has started strong at the plate this season, hitting .300 in 20 at-bats with only one strikeout. A former top prospect, Mejia has been involved in multiple blockbuster trades throughout his career but has yet to live up to high offensive expectations. That being said, his performance early in 2021 has been promising, and if it continues it may be enough to earn Mejia more opportunities over starter Mike Zunino, who's never hit for a respectable average and has begun this year no differently.
