Naylor is out of the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Naylor will rest up during Friday's matinee, yielding to Austin Hedges behind the dish against right-hander Shane Smith. Naylor is slashing .177/.278/.365 with nine home runs and a 26.8 percent strikeout rate in 235 plate appearances this season.

Teel is out of the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

Teel will avoid a matchup with southpaw Logan Allen in Friday's matinee. Edgar Quero will bat cleanup and fill in behind the dish.

Wells went 1-for-3 with three RBI in Thursday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Seattle.

Wells was able to rack up at least three RBI for the seventh time this year, and he drove in two in the ninth inning to tie the game at 5-5. The 25-year-old lefty-hitting backstop occasionally loses playing time to Ben Rice behind the plate in New York's loaded lineup, but the former is doing his part to maintain a steady role. Wells is batting .271 with three homers, three doubles and 10 RBI over his last 48 at-bats (14 games).

Langeliers isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Atlanta.

Langeliers will retreat to the bench Thursday after going 1-for-8 during the first two games of the series. Austin Wynns will take his place behind the plate and bat seventh in the series finale.

The Orioles optioned Banuelos to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

Banuelos was added to the roster prior to the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets, but he didn't play in that contest and is now headed back to the minors. Reliever Colin Selby will absorb Banuelos' roster spot.

Jansen isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jansen will head to the bench to begin Tampa Bay's four-game set against Boston after going 2-for-6 with an RBI and a run scored during the Rays' previous series in Detroit. Matt Thaiss will catch for Taj Bradley instead Thursday and bat eighth.

The Orioles selected Banuelos' contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

Banuelos will serve as a third catcher for an Orioles club that's dealing with myriad injuries at the position. The 28-year-old has gone just 5-for-48 (.104 average) at the plate this season with Norfolk.

D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 11-8 victory against the Rangers.

D'Arnaud's long ball was a solo shot in the fourth inning that tied the game 5-5. The veteran backstop has homered in each of his past two games, going 4-for-8 with four RBI over that stretch. While Logan O'Hoppe remains the Angels' primary catcher, he's recorded a 0:16 BB:K and .205 batting average over his past 10 games, so d'Arnaud could log a bit more playing time if the Angels opt to give O'Hoppe some time to reset. As it is, d'Arnaud has started over O'Hoppe in two of the team's past three contests.

Narvaez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Rockies.

Narvaez swatted his eighth home run of the campaign, tagging Antonio Senzatela for a solo homer in the second inning to get the Red Sox on the scoreboard. The catcher has now logged multiple hits in six of his last 12 games, going 15-for-47 (.319) with two homers and three doubles during that stretch.

Perez went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Perez notched his second multi-homer game of 2025, taking Bailey Falter yard in the fourth inning and tagging Isaac Mattson for a solo shot in the eighth. The 35-year-old catcher has now homered in three of his last four games, bringing his season total up to 13 round trippers. In July, Perez has gone 13-for-35 (.371) with 11 RBI.
