  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Not in lineup Wednesday

    Quero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Kansas City.

    Quero had started the last three games and five of the past six contests, but he will get a breather Wednesday. Matt Thaiss will start at catcher and will bat cleanup.

  • Royals' Freddy Fermin: Taking seat Wednesday

    Fermin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    With Salvador Perez having been limited exclusively to designated hitter and first base so far this month while he's been managing a hip issue, Fermin has temporarily settled in as the Royals' No. 1 backstop. After playing behind the dish in five of the last six games, Fermin will get a breather Wednesday, paving the way for Luke Maile to handle the catching duties while Perez plays first base.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Rays' Danny Jansen: Could be stuck in platoon

    Jansen will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Though he's occupying a prominent spot in the order against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez, Jansen looks like he may have temporarily fallen into the short side of a platoon at catcher. The lefty-hitting Ben Rortvedt has started in each of the Rays' last four matchups versus righties, while each of Jansen's last four starts have come against lefties.

  • Ben Rortvedt C | CIN

    Rays' Ben Rortvedt: May be in strong side of platoon

    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Though he'll hit the bench Wednesday against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez, but the left-handed-hitting Rortvedt may have taken control of a strong-side platoon role at catcher with Danny Jansen. Rortvedt has started in each of the Rays' last four matchups with right-handed pitchers.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Sitting out matinee

    Langeliers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mariners.

    Langeliers started at catcher in each of the first two games of the series, so he's earned a rest for Wednesday's matinee. Jhonny Pereda will do the catching and bat ninth for the Athletics in this one.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Three hits in win

    O'Hoppe went 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    O'Hoppe's third hit of the game knocked in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, and he came around to score on Yoan Moncada's three-run homer. Over his last six games, O'Hoppe has gone 9-for-20 (.450) with two long balls and four RBI. The catcher is up to a .294/.333/.569 slash line with nine homers, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored and a double across 29 contests this season. He appears set for a breakout campaign, as he's nearly halfway to his career-high total of 20 homers from last season.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Belts grand slam

    Wells went 2-for-5 with a home run, five RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win against San Diego.

    Wells did all of his damage during the Yankees' massive 10-run seventh inning. He knocked an RBI single, swiped second base and scored a run before coming back to the plate and ripping a grand slam. It was his first multi-hit game since April 27 and his third long ball over his last seven appearances. Wells is slashing .220/.273/.486 with 14 extra-base hits and 23 RBI through 32 games.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Drives in two runs Tuesday

    Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a two-run single and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the Orioles.

    Jeffers gave the Twins a two-run lead in the third inning on a two-run single and came around to score on a Carlos Correa home run. Jeffers started the season slowly but has started to heat up as of late, going 11-for-31 with five runs scored, two home runs and 10 RBI over his last 10 games.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Resting during Game 2

    Naylor isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against Washington.

    Naylor will give way to Austin Hedges behind the plate after going 2-for-5 and scoring a run during a loss in Game 1.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Not starting Tuesday

    Raleigh is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Raleigh will get his first day off of the season while Mitch Garver starts behind home plate and bats fifth. Raleigh is slashing .240/.359/.574 with four stolen bases, 23 runs scored, 12 home runs and 23 RBI in 153 plate appearances to start the season.
