  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Getting breather Friday

    Quero is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

    Quero will get the day off Friday after making three straight starts -- two at DH and one at catcher. Kyle Teel will slot in behind the plate while Andrew Benintendi serves as the designated hitter.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Collects two RBI vs. Bronx Bombers

    Dingler went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an RBI single during the Tigers' 9-3 loss to the Yankees on Thursday.

    Dingler put the Tigers on the board in the second inning with an RBI single before logging his second RBI of the night on a solo homer in the seventh. Dingler has been hot at the plate as of late, having gone 14-for-37 (.378) with two home runs and four RBI over his last 10 games.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Likely to return near minimum

    O'Hoppe (concussion) is expected to return to the lineup during the Angels' upcoming series at Milwaukee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    O'Hoppe has been sidelined with a concussion since Monday and is reportedly feeling better. It's unclear if he'll be activated for the start of the series against the Brewers when first eligible Tuesday, but his absence should be relatively brief.

  • Angels' Sebastian Rivero: Riding pine Thursday

    Rivero isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Seattle, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Rivero started three straight games behind the plate upon coming up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, going 3-for-11 with two RBI and three runs scored in the process. He'll now receive a day off with Travis d'Arnaud set to catch for Jose Soriano.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Breather for day game

    Kirk is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Astros.

    Kirk started at catcher each of the previous three contests, so he'll get some rest during Thursday's matinee. Tyler Heineman will do the catching and bat eighth for the Blue Jays.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Produces team's lone run in loss

    Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a loss to the Tigers.

    Wells' eighth-inning homer was merely a consolation in keeping the Yankees from being shut out, as it made the score 8-1 in favor of Detroit. Nonetheless, it was a positive sign for the alertness of Wells' bat, as he had gone 1-for-12 over his previous 16 plate appearances. Wells has an unremarkable .715 OPS on the campaign, but he's been a good source of power from the catcher position with 21 homers and 66 RBI through 113 contests.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Delivers clutch homer

    Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI on Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

    Diaz came through with a clutch home run, delivering a solo home run in the ninth inning to put the Astros up for good. He has multiple hits in three of his last four starts, recording three extra-base hits, six RBI and two runs scored. Diaz now has 19 home runs on the season and will have the chance to reach 20 long balls for the second time in three big-league campaigns.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Powers A's in win

    Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Red Sox.

    Langeliers opened the scoring in the first inning with a homer off Payton Tolle before leading off the bottom of the ninth with a double off Aroldis Chapman, eventually coming around to score the winning run. The 27-year-old Langeliers is up to 30 home runs for the first time in his four-year MLB career. Overall, he's slashing .266/.314/.536 with 68 RBI, 65 runs scored and six steals across 471 plate appearances this season.

  • Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Resting Wednesday

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

    Feduccia will get a breather Wednesday after he had started behind the plate in three of the Rays' previous four contests. Nick Fortes will handle catching duties.

  • Angels' Sebastian Rivero: Receiving third straight start

    Rivero will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Though Travis d'Arnaud has been on the Angels' roster all season as the No. 2 catcher behind Logan O'Hoppe (concussion), Rivero will pick up his third straight start behind the plate Wednesday following his call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake after O'Hoppe was placed on the 7-day injured list. Through his first two contests with the Angels, Rivero has gone 2-for-8 with a double, a walk, two RBI and two runs.
