    Tigers' Brian Serven: Healthy again at Triple-A

    Serven (oblique) has gone 6-for-19 with a double, a stolen base, six RBI and two runs in four games since being activated from Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list April 15

    Serven suffered a left oblique strain in early March that ended any hopes he had of making the Tigers' Opening Day roster as a backup catcher and also resulted in him beginning the season on the shelf at Triple-A. He was cleared to debut for Toledo after beginning a rehab assignment at Single-A Lakeland on April 4 and appearing in seven games.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Resting Wednesday

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    With lefty Carlos Rodon on the hill for the Yankees in a day game after a night game, the left-handed-hitting Naylor will receive a breather. Austin Hedges will handle the catching duties for Cleveland on Wednesday.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Swelling going down

    Manager Will Venable said Tuesday that the swelling in Lee's ankle is nearly entirely gone, MLB.com reports.

    Lee has been on the injured list since April 10 due to a left ankle sprain. It's unclear what the next steps in his recovery will be, or how quickly he can return. Lee was already stuck in a backup role prior to Edgar Quero's promotion, so his spot on the big-league roster could be in jeopardy once healthy.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Tallies three hits

    Quero went 3-for-4 with a run scored Tuesday against the Twins.

    Quero started for the fourth time in six games since his promotion to the majors and has most recently hit fourth and fifth in the lineup. He has earned that key role quickly, collecting seven hits across his first 19 at-bats. Quero also scored the first run of his career Tuesday.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Getting Tuesday off

    Heim isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

    Heim has been alternating starts with Kyle Higashioka over the past several days, and Tuesday marks the latter's turn to start behind the dish.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Catches bullpen session

    Wong (finger) caught a bullpen session Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Wong will continue to catch bullpen sessions and perform other baseball activities as he ramps things back up after suffering a fractured left pinky finger in early April. He could be back with the Red Sox by early May.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Grabbing seat Tuesday

    Wells is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

    It's a routine day off for Wells, who started each of the previous three contests. J.C. Escarra will do the catching and bat eighth for the Yankees.

  • Tomas Nido C | DET

    Tigers' Tomas Nido: Starting Monday

    Nido is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Monday's game against the Padres.

    Nido will give Dillon Dingler a breather, as the latter started both Saturday and Sunday behind the plate. Nido is Detroit's backup catcher for the time being with Jake Rogers (oblique) on the injured list, and the veteran has played well in a small sample, collecting four hits in nine at-bats so far.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Getting Monday off

    Dingler is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

    Dingler started both Saturday and Sunday behind the plate after getting a rest Friday, and he'll retreat to the bench in favor of Tomas Nido on Monday. The 26-year-old is Detroit's top catching option at the moment with Jake Rogers (oblique) on the injured list, while Nido provides veteran depth. Dingler figures to return to the lineup Tuesday.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Plays catch Monday

    Rogers (oblique) played catch at Comerica Park on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Rogers tossed the ball around with fellow rehabber Austin Meadows (shoulder), who just recently began a throwing program. The catcher is expected to be out until early May as he recovers from a left oblique strain.
