  • Rays' Alex Jackson: DFA'd by Tampa Bay

    The Rays designated Jackson for assignment Thursday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Jackson has slashed only .122/.201/.237 in 58 games this season. The Rays will now use Logan Driscoll as their backup catcher behind Ben Rortvedt.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Taking seat Wednesday

    Rogers isn't in Detroit's lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Rogers grab a seat on the bench Wednesday after going 0-for-3 during a loss in Tuesday's series opener. Dillon Dingler will start behind the dish instead and bat ninth.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Held out Wednesday

    Wells (hand) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rangers.

    Wells has now missed two starts in a row after being hit on the right hand by a pitch Monday. X-rays came back negative and he is likely aiming for a return Friday versus the Cubs following a team off day Thursday. Jose Trevino will do the catching again for the Yankees in Wednesday's series finale.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: More timely hitting Tuesday

    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a second two-bagger in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.

    One day after driving in two runs with his 28th homer in a series-opening loss, Raleigh was once again one of the few bright spots for the Mariners in a second consecutive defeat. The backstop's first-inning double drove home J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez to open the scoring, and those would turn out to be the only runs of the night for the light-hitting Seattle lineup. Raleigh appears to have an outside chance at a 100-RBI campaign if he keeps up the timely knocks, as he's now sitting 16 RBI away from the triple-digit threshold with 23 games remaining.

  • Austin Nola C | KC

    Royals' Austin Nola: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Royals outrighted Nola to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Nola cleared waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster and will remain in the organization as catching depth. The 34-year-old has spent all of 2024 at Omaha, slashing just .158/.247/.301 line in 46 games.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Clubs homer in loss

    O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 6-2 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.

    O'Hoppe opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo shot off Walker Buehler. Over the previous nine games, O'Hoppe went just 1-for-30 with a 1:18 BB:K. The catcher has put together a good year with 18 homers, 51 RBI, 53 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .242/.300/.409 slash line over 118 contests, but it's possible he's wearing down under a heavy workload in his first full and healthy major-league campaign.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: X-rays negative on hand

    Manager Aaron Boone said Wells, who is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, had X-rays on his hand come back negative, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    The 25-year-old is dealing with some soreness after being hit by a pitch in Monday's contest, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The Yankees have a team day off Thursday, so the club could keep Wells on the bench again Wednesday to provide him three straight days to recover from the injury.

  • Jonah Heim C | TEX

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Taking seat Tuesday

    Heim is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Heim and Carson Kelly have alternated starts behind the plate over the past seven games, and that trend will continue Tuesday after Heim went 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts in Monday's contest.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Exits starting nine

    Wells is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.

    With southpaw Andrew Heaney on the hill for Texas, Wells will grab a seat. Jose Trevino is doing the catching for the Yankees.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Wong is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

    Wong had started each of the last four games, although one of those starts came at second base. It will be Danny Jansen doing the catching for the Red Sox on Tuesday.
