  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Homers in Tuesday's win

    O'Hoppe went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

    O'Hoppe recorded his third multi-hit effort in the last four games, a span in which he's also homered twice and added seven RBI. Prior to this strong stretch, he endured a 2-for-27 slump over his previous eight games. The catcher is up to 11 long balls, 25 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .264/.296/.500 slash line across 41 contests this season.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Launches two-run homer

    Heim went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Yankees.

    Heim was able to get the Rangers on the board in the ninth inning, when he took Ian Hamilton deep to right field for a two-run homer. Heim has gone 4-for-10 with one home run and five RBI over his last three starts.

  • Tomas Nido C | DET

    Tigers' Tomas Nido: DFA'd by Detroit

    Nido was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Tuesday.

    With Jake Rogers (oblique) back from the 10-day IL, Nido gets the boot from the Tigers' 40-man roster. Nido spent six weeks with Detroit, slashing .343/.361/.343 with two RBI, four runs scored and a 0:10 BB:K across 37 plate appearances. He even tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief against the Cardinals in a blowout loss Monday.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Grabbing seat Tuesday

    Dingler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

    Jake Rogers is behind the dish Tuesday in his first game back from the injured list. Playing time at catcher between Dingler and Rogers will likely be divvied up fairly evenly moving forward.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Activated from 10-day IL

    The Tigers activated Rogers (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Rogers missed six weeks with a strained oblique but is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, catching for Tarik Skubal. With Rogers reinstated, Detroit designated Tomas Nido for assignment. Rogers and Dillon Dingler are likely to share time behind the plate moving forward.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Taking seat Tuesday

    Diaz is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Tampa Bay.

    It's the first day off in May for Diaz, who is in a 3-for-26 rut at the dish. Victor Caratini will handle catching duties and bat fifth for the Astros.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Will be activated Tuesday

    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Rogers (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in St. Louis, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Rogers has been sidelined since early April with a left oblique strain but is ready to go after playing in four rehab games with Triple-A Toledo. Dillon Dingler has played well since Rogers landed on the shelf, and the two catchers will likely split playing time behind the dish fairly evenly.

  • David Fry C | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Moving rehab to Double-A

    Fry (elbow) shifted his rehab assignment Monday from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Double-A Akron.

    Fry went 0-for-8 with two walks and three strikeouts over his three contests in rookie ball, which marked his first game action since the Guardians' ALCS matchup with the Yankees last October. The 29-year-old resides on Cleveland's 60-day injured list while he recovers from the UCL revision surgery he underwent on his right elbow last November, which will prevent him from playing defense until 2026. He'll continue to serve as a designated hitter during his rehab assignment and could be a potential platoon mate for Kyle Manzardo with the big club once he's activated him from the IL.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Notches third steal

    Langeliers went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

    Langeliers had gone 0-for-9 with two walks and two strikeouts over the previous three games. He ended that slump with a first-inning RBI single to give the Athletics a short-lived 2-1 lead. He's also logged two steals over his last six games, giving him three thefts on the year, one shy of his career high from 2024. The catcher is hitting .250 with a .758 OPS, eight home runs, 24 RBI and 19 runs scored across 42 games.

  • Twins' Christian Vazquez: Back on bench Monday

    Vazquez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    Due in large part to injuries decimating the Twins' depth in recent days, Vazquez had started at catcher in each of the last three games, while top backstop Ryan Jeffers served as the team's designated hitter in all of those contests. However, with Harrison Bader returning from a groin injury Saturday and with Willi Castro (knee) back in the lineup Monday after a two-game absence, Vazquez will retreat to the bench. Vazquez's playing time could be more sporadic moving forward while Jeffers likely sees most of his starts behind the dish and the Twins instead opting to rotate a number of players at the DH spot.
