Diaz went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-4 win over the Red Sox.

Diaz singled in the seventh inning and then added a two-run homer in the ninth. He has carried a hot July into August, going 10-for-28 with four multi-hit efforts in his last seven contests. On the year, the 25-year-old is hitting .301 with 11 home runs, 61 RBI and 48 runs scored across 429 plate appearances.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for the second game of a doubleheader against the Guardians on Friday.

After catching Game 1 and going 1-for-3 at the dish with a solo homer, Jeffers will get a breather for the nightcap. Christian Vazquez will catch and bat eighth.

Fermin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

The 29-year-old will yield to Paul DeJong at DH on Friday. In his last seven games, Fermin is 10-for-29 (.345) with a homer, six RBI and a run scored.

Rutschman is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

It's a routine day off for Rutschman, who was recently demoted from second to fifth in the Orioles' batting order. He's slashed just .162/.276/.263 since the beginning of July. James McCann will do the catching for Zach Eflin.

Kirk went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Orioles.

The 25-year-old continues to thrive since becoming the Blue Jays' No. 1 catcher. Kirk has reached base safely in nine straight appearances, batting .452 (14-for-31) during that stretch with two doubles, a homer, four runs and nine RBI. The hot streak has boosted his slash line on the season to .254/.321/.348.

Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup Thursday against the Mariners.

Rogers broke an 0-for-16 stretch at the plate by hitting a home run during Wednesday's win, but he'll now take a seat for the third time in Detroit's last four games while Dillon Dingler starts behind the dish.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Wells has "earned more and more reps" even after the return of Jose Trevino (quad), Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Wells and Trevino were being used pretty evenly before the latter was injured. However, with Wells hitting .383/.456/.596 over his last 12 games, he appears in line for the bulk of the starts at catcher once Trevino is activated, which could happen as soon as next week.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Tigers on Wednesday.

Raleigh uncorked a 427-foot shot to left field in the fourth inning with Randy Arozarena aboard to give the Mariners their first and only runs of the game. The homer was Raleigh's first since he memorably left the yard in three straight games July 27-29, and it leaves him just six round trippers away from tying the career-best 30 he slugged in 2023.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Royals.

Jansen has gone 6-for-14 over four contests since he was acquired via trade from the Blue Jays. The catcher has settled into a backup role behind Connor Wong, though Wong can also play first base to give Jansen a path to some at-bats. For the year, Jansen is hitting .226 with a .702 OPS, seven homers, 20 RBI, 28 runs scored, 13 doubles and no stolen bases over 65 games.

Wells isn't in the Yankees' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Wells will take a seat to begin Wednesday's nightcap after going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a walk during a victory in Game 1. Carlos Narvaez will start behind the plate instead and bat ninth.
