  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Ends slump Saturday

    Dingler went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.

    Dingler came into the contest having gone 0-for-19 over his previous six games. The young catcher snapped that streak, though he's still batting just .141 for the season with a 33 percent strikeout rate. Until Dingler can become more consistent at the plate, his fantasy ceiling will remain capped.

  • Kyle McCann C | OAK

    Athletics' Kyle McCann: Records timely knock Saturday

    McCann went 1-for-2 with an RBI single in a loss to the Tigers on Saturday.

    McCann drew one of his infrequent starts behind the plate and drove home the Athletics' only run with a fifth-inning single that plated Zack Gelof. The rookie had last accounted for an RBI on July 28, and he's sporting a .248 average and .705 OPS over his modest 140 plate appearances this season.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Sitting down Saturday

    Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Dodgers.

    After going 0-for-5 across his last two games, Naylor will take a seat Saturday while Austin Hedges catches for Gavin Williams and bats ninth.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Sitting again

    Lee (back) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Lee was scratched from Friday's lineup with back tightness, and he'll get the night off Saturday as well. Chuckie Robinson will fill in for Lee behind the dish.

  • Rays' Ben Rortvedt: Idle Saturday

    Rortvedt isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Rortvedt will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a walk during Friday's series opener. Logan Driscoll will start behind the dish instead and bat sixth.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Not starting Saturday

    Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against Oakland.

    After going 1-for-7 with two walks and a run scored across Detroit's last two games, Rogers will take a seat on the bench while Dillon Dingler starts behind the plate and bats eighth.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Taking seat Saturday

    Langeliers isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

    Langeliers will get to rest Saturday after going 1-for-6 during Friday's 13-inning series opener. Kyle McCann will catch instead for Brady Basso while batting ninth.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Plates two runs in return

    Wells went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Friday's 3-0 win against the Cubs.

    Wells returned from a two-game absence after taking a hit-by-pitch on the hand Monday. The backstop accounted for the bulk of New York's scoring Friday with a two-run single in the third inning. Now that he's back in action, Wells will likely start behind the plate most of the time when the Yankees face right-handed starters while Jose Trevino is expected to get the call against most southpaws.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Wallops 19th homer

    O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer Friday's 5-1 victory over the Rangers.

    The Angels backstop stretched the team's lead to 5-0 with a 410-foot, three-run homer off Jose Urena in the sixth inning. After batting an abominable .099 (9-for-91) with just two homers in August, O'Hoppe has already slugged two long balls in September as he breaks out of his slump. Overall, the 24-year-old is slashing .242/.299/.413 with 19 homers, 55 runs scored and 54 RBI in 463 plate appearances across 120 games.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Sitting Friday

    Jeffers is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    Jeffers will get what looks like a routine breather after three straight starts, including two starts behind the plate in the past three days. Christian Vazquez will catch for starting pitcher Zebby Matthews.
