Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-handed hitter will be on the bench for a second straight day, as White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay takes the mound after lefty Noah Schultz worked in bulk relief Saturday. Nick Fortes will get another turn behind the dish over Feduccia on Sunday.

Diaz went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Astros.

Diaz drove in a game-tying run in the fourth inning on a sacrifice bunt and then homered in the sixth to bring Texas within one run. The RBI were his first in 18 contests. He's getting most of the starts at catcher with Kyle Higashioka (forearm) on the injured list.

Huff accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday after clearing waivers, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Huff was booted off the Orioles' 40-man roster Monday in order to make room for Yohel Pozo. He'll opt to stay in the organization and will head to Triple-A, where he's produced a .189/.265/.302 slash line with three home runs across 117 plate appearances this season.

Bailey isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

After going 0-for-10 with a walk and three strikeouts across his last four games, Bailey will move to the bench for a second straight game while Austin Hedges handles catching duties.

Jensen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 3-1 loss to Colorado.

Jensen was responsible for the Royals' lone run in Friday's loss with a solo home run off Tomoyuki Sugano in the sixth inning. It was the 15th home run of the season for Jensen and his second since the All-Star break. He'll wrap up the month with a .187 batting average with three home runs, eight RBI and a 38.2 percent strikeout rate in July.

Dingler went 2-for-6 with a grand slam in Friday's 13-1 win over the Athletics.

Dingler went deep in the eighth inning as the Tigers ran up the score, giving him 23 home runs and 72 RBI on the season. The RBI total is first among all MLB catchers, while Dingler trails only Hunter Goodman and his 31 homers for the lead among his position group. The Detroit backstop is having a breakout campaign and should remain firmly entrenched in fantasy lineups.

Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Jeffers has hit safely in 11 of 12 games since he returned from a fractured left hamate. He has gone 13-for-45 (.289) with three homers, 10 RBI and two doubles in that span. The catcher continues to provide steady offense at a premium position in fantasy. For the season, he's batting .293 with a .935 OPS, 10 homers, 36 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 49 contests.

Diaz went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 11-2 win over the Rangers.

Diaz was a thorn in the Rangers' side all game with four base knocks, including a solo shot in the seventh. The 27-year-old has now posted back-to-back four-hit efforts with a home run, and he'll finish July with an .891 OPS and five homers over 16 games. For the year, he's slashing .261/.287/.427 with eight long balls, 26 RBI and 24 runs scored across 209 plate appearances.

Valenzuela went 3-for-4 in Friday's 3-1 win over St. Louis.

It was Valenzela's eighth multi-hit game and the third time this season that he logged at least three hits. It was a welcome return to form at the plate for the 25-year-old catcher, who entered Friday's contest having gone 2-for-18 (.111) with a solo home run since the All-Star break.

Wong is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

Wong will get a breather after going 0-for-5 over his last two starts against the Athletics. Carlos Narvaez will start behind home plate and bat ninth while forming a battery with southpaw Ranger Suarez in Friday's series opener.
