The Astros reassigned Lavastida to minor-league camp Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Lavastida is likely to be part of a catcher committee at Triple-A Sugar Land this season after he spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign with the Guardians' Triple-A affiliate in Columbus, finishing with a .232/.334/.387 slash line, eight home runs and 26 stolen bases over 345 plate appearances. The 26-year-old's lone big-league action came in 2022, when he appeared in six games for Cleveland.

Diaz (illness) is out of the Astros' Grapefruit League lineup for a second straight day Thursday but will go through a full workout, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It sounds like Diaz should be ready to play in games in a day or two. The Astros' top catcher is 3-for-28 with one home run at the dish during Grapefruit League action.

Raleigh went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Royals and is now batting just .129 (4-for-31) with one home run and five RBI this spring.

Raleigh got off to fast start during spring training in 2024, belting four homers in 44 plate appearances, but it's been a sluggish beginning at the dish thus far this year. Even so, the Mariners are still set to rely on Raleigh as a key cog in their lineup in 2025. Although Raleigh hasn't finished with a batting average higher than .232 in any of his four MLB seasons, the switch-hitting slugger has smashed at least 27 long balls in each campaign since 2022.

Fry (elbow) was cleared to begin taking dry swings Wednesday.

The Guardians sent Fry to the 60-day IL in February, which ensures he'll be out until at least May 26. Depending on how quickly he progresses through the rest of his rehab from November elbow surgery, he may be ready to contribute as a DH by then, though he won't have any hope of playing in the field or behind the plate until 2026.

Wong was scratched from Wednesday's Grapefruit League lineup versus the Twins due to illness, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Wong appears to have caught the bug that's been going around Boston's clubhouse this month. He should be OK after a day or two of rest. Seby Zavala will sub in at catcher Wednesday.

The Twins optioned Cartaya to minor-league camp Tuesday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Cartaya has gone 1-for-7 at the plate this spring while also trying to learn a new pitching staff after being acquired via trade from the Dodgers over the offseason. The 23-year-old will share catching duties at Triple-A St. Paul this season with Jair Camargo.

Serven hasn't appeared in any Grapefruit League games since March 2 due to a left oblique strain, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Serven has been taking part in daily rehab activities since suffering the injury, but it's unclear if he'll be able to return to the lineup before the end of spring training. The oblique injury likely eliminates any chance Serven had of making the Tigers' Opening Day roster as a backup catcher.

Wells went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's Grapefruit League win over the Tigers.

Wells batted leadoff in the contest, which he's been doing often this spring and may end up doing during the regular season. The 25-year-old catcher has been blistering the ball in that role in Grapefruit League action, leading off the Yankees' half of the first inning with a home run on three occasions. Wells is slashing .368/.400/.895 overall this spring and could be primed for a breakout after posting a .717 OPS over 414 regular-season plate appearances in his first full campaign in the majors last year.

The Orioles reassigned Banuelos to minor-league camp Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Banuelos will likely serve as organizational catching depth at Triple-A Norfolk during the upcoming season. The 28-year-old was briefly part of the Orioles' 40-man roster in 2024 and made his MLB debut in April, logging one plate appearance.

The Athletics reassigned McCann to minor-league camp Monday.

McCann spent the entire 2024 season on Oakland's active roster as a backup catcher and slashed .236/.318/.371 with five home runs and 15 RBI over 157 plate appearances, but he was designated for assignment in January and later outrighted to the minors upon clearing waivers. McCann still received an invitation to big-league camp and was once again given the chance to compete for a backup gig behind No. 1 backstop Shea Langeliers, but the Athletics seem content to move forward with either Jhonny Pereda and Tyler Soderstrom as Langeliers' understudy. Look for McCann to spend most of the upcoming season at Triple-A Las Vegas.
