Thaiss is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Thaiss emerged as the White Sox's No. 1 backstop early on this season, but he'll be on the bench for the second straight day Thursday and now looks poised to move into a backup role with Chicago promoting catching prospect Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte. Even while seeing the bulk of the work behind the plate through Chicago's first 17 games of the season, Thaiss didn't make much of a fantasy impact, batting .241 with few counting statistics (zero home runs, zero steals, three runs, three RBI).

Langeliers is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the White Sox.

Langeliers had started each of the previous eight games -- including seven at catcher -- so he'll receive a well-earned day off for Thursday's matinee. Jhonny Pereda is starting at catcher and batting seventh for the Athletics on Thursday.

The White Sox designated Narvaez for assignment Thursday.

Narvaez was in the majors for one week but will vacate his roster spot to make room for the arrival of Edgar Quero, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday. He'll likely clear waivers and could stick around in the organization as catching depth.

The White Sox selected Quero's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Quero earned the promotion after slashing .333/.444/.412 with one home run over his first 63 plate appearances at Charlotte this season. The 22-year-old will presumably take over as Chicago's primary backstop and could be worthy of a pickup in fantasy leagues that start two catchers. Quero will start behind the dish and bat seventh Thursday against the Athletics in his major-league debut.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a double against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Diaz is hitting just .130 across his first 57 plate appearances this season, and he had only two hits across his first 33 at-bats. He's picked things up slightly of late, collecting five hits across his last 21 at-bats. While his surface stats are concerning, Diaz's bat skills are fine, highlighted by a 12.2 percent barrel rate.

Raleigh went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

Raleigh saw his streak of home runs end at three games Tuesday, but he didn't lose a beat in Wednesday's win. He took the first pitch he saw from Nick Martinez deep to center field for a 412-foot homer in the fifth inning, and Raleigh logged the Mariners' fifth and final run in the seventh frame with another solo shot off Taylor Rogers. Raleigh is up to seven home runs on the year, which is tied with Aaron Judge for second-most in the majors behind Tyler Soderstrom (eight).

The White Sox plan to promote Quero from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

One of the top prospects in the White Sox's farm system, Quero has slashed .333/.444/.412 with one home run, four RBI and nine runs scored across 63 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. The 22-year-old backstop will now get his first taste of the big leagues with Chicago, where he could get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis between catcher and designated hitter.

O'Hoppe (illness) is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe will be out of the lineup for a second straight game while battling an illness, but he could be available as a pinch hitter during Wednesday's contest. Travis d'Arnaud will work behind home plate and bat fifth against Rangers southpaw Patrick Corbin.

Thaiss is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Thaiss will receive a breather after he started behind the plate in Chicago's last two games while going 2-for-7 with an RBI. Omar Narvaez will step in as the White Sox's starting catcher Wednesday.

Dingler is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Brewers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Dingler caught the first two games of the series, so he'll get a breather in Wednesday's matinee. Tomas Nido will be behind the plate and bat seventh.
