Logan O'Hoppe C | LAA
Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Sitting down Tuesday
O'Hoppe (head) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
O'Hoppe had to make an early exit from Monday's contest after getting hit in the head by a backswing in the eighth inning. Manager Ron Washington said after the game the decision to pull the 25-year-old backstop was precautionary, but O'Hoppe will now be forced to miss Tuesday's game while Travis d'Arnaud catches and bats fifth.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Sitting again Tuesday
Rutschman (head) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
It's the second straight game on the bench for Rutschman after he took a foul tip to the mask Sunday against the Red Sox. According to Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun, interim manager Tony Mansolino said Rutschman is scheduled to take batting practice Tuesday, weather permitting, and could be back in the lineup soon.

Korey Lee C | CHW
White Sox's Korey Lee: Activated ahead of Tuesday's game
Lee (ankle) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Backup catcher Matt Thaiss was traded to the Rays for a low-level prospect (Dru Baker) Tuesday in advance of Lee's activation. Edgar Quero should continue to play more than Lee, although Quero could start getting another start or two at designated hitter each week to provide Lee with more opportunities. Lee hit .333 with a .417 BABIP and zero home runs in 17 plate appearances before landing on the shelf. He hit .302 with two home runs in 11 rehab games.

Matt Thaiss C | BOS
Rays' Matt Thaiss: Heading to Tampa Bay
Thaiss was traded from the White Sox to the Rays on Tuesday in exchange for Dru Baker.
Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times speculates that Ben Rortvedt's roster spot will be in jeopardy when Thaiss joins the team, so the latter appears set to take over as Danny Jansen's backup. The lefty-hitting Thaiss slashed .212/.382/.294 with one home run, one steal and more walks (23) than strikeouts (21) in 110 plate appearances with the White Sox.

Danny Jansen C | TEX
Rays' Danny Jansen: Power picking up
Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Twins.
Jansen had a slow start to the season at the plate and had only one home run across his first 28 games. However, in his last nine contests beginning May 13, he has slugged three homers while hitting .310 to go along with six RBI and five runs scored.

Logan O'Hoppe C | LAA
Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Exits early Monday
O'Hoppe was removed from Monday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees after being struck in the head by a backswing during the eighth inning, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Angels manager Ron Washington said after the game that O'Hoppe was removed simply as a precaution. However, the 25-year-old will be re-evaluated Tuesday to see how he feels ahead of the second game of the series. Travis d'Arnaud would be in line for a start behind the dish if O'Hoppe isn't ready to play.

Chadwick Tromp C | ATL
Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Joining O's
The Orioles selected Tromp's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Tromp will provide temporary depth at the catcher position after Adley Rutschman (head) sustained what appears to be a minor injury Sunday. He'll operate as Baltimore's backup catcher behind Maverick Handley until Rutschman is back in action. Tromp appeared in two MLB games this season with Atlanta before being DFA'd on April 6.

David Fry C | CLE
Guardians' David Fry: Rehab shifts to Triple-A
Fry (elbow) will continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Fry has appeared in six games during his current rehab stint, with three coming in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and the other three coming with Double-A Akron. Despite hitting a combined 1-for-17 in those games, Fry will advance to Columbus. Last season, Fry appeared in over 15 games at designated hitter, catcher, first base and left field while also picking up a few starts at third base and right field. He'll be limited exclusively to DH once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, as he's not expected to be able to play the field at any point in 2025 after undergoing a UCL revision surgery on his throwing elbow last November.

Adley Rutschman C | BAL
Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Not in lineup Monday
Rutschman (head) isn't part of the Orioles' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Rutschman was removed from Sunday's game shortly after taking a foul tip to his catcher's mask in the third inning. It's still unknown if he is in concussion protocol, but interim manager Tony Mansolino called Rutschman's exit precautionary. Maverick Handley will catch and bat ninth in place of Rutschman.

Gary Sanchez C | MIL
Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Taking BP on field
Sanchez (wrist) participated in on-field batting practice Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez has been sidelined since April 28 due to right wrist inflammation, but he's been making solid progress in his recovery. Considering he's been out for almost a month, Sanchez will likely require a rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list.
