  • Ben Rortvedt C | CIN

    Rays' Ben Rortvedt: Getting rest Wednesday

    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Rortvedt had started at catcher in each of the Rays' last three games, so his absence Wednesday is most likely a maintenance day. Alex Jackson gets the nod behind the plate.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Resting for second half of twin bill

    Naylor is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks.

    Naylor went 0-for-4 while catching all nine innings in the Guardians' 7-3 loss in the first game of the day, so he'll head to the bench for a breather in the second contest. Austin Hedges will handle the catching duties in Game 2.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Getting breather for day game

    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    With Wednesday's series finale beginning at 3:37 p.m. ET, Langeliers will get a breather after he caught all nine innings of the Athletics' 5-1 loss Tuesday night. Kyle McCann will pick up a start behind the dish in Langeliers' place.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Resting for day game

    Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Lee logged all nine innings behind the plate in the White Sox's 5-1 win Tuesday night, so he'll be given a rest as the two teams wrap up their series Wednesday with a day game. Chuckie Robinson will handle catching duties for Chicago.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Hits go-ahead homer in win

    Kirk went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

    Kirk singled in the fourth inning and then gave the Blue Jays the lead with a three-run homer in the sixth. The long ball was his first since June 10, but he has hit safely in six of his past seven games with three multi-hit efforts. On the year, the 25-year-old is hitting .245 with three home runs and 32 RBI across 226 plate appearances.

  • Twins' Christian Vazquez: Homers in Tuesday's loss

    Vazquez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs.

    Vazquez's homer was the third and final hit of the game for the Twins. The catcher has been reliable since the All-Star break, going 9-for-28 (.321) with two homers and six RBI over nine contests in that span. He's up to a .213/.242/.333 slash line with six homers, 22 RBI, 19 runs scored and three stolen bases over 223 plate appearances. Regardless of how well he hits, Vazquez appears likely to remain in a 50-50 timeshare with Ryan Jeffers.

  • James McCann C | ARI

    Orioles' James McCann: Undergoes nasal surgery

    McCann underwent a nasal reduction realignment procedure Monday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    McCann took a fastball off the nose July 29 versus the Blue Jays, suffering multiple nose fractures. The catcher has remained a part of the active roster and is with the team on their road trip in Toronto.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Idle Tuesday

    Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

    Rogers will sit down for a second consecutive game Tuesday after going 0-for-16 with nine strikeouts over his last five games. Dillon Dingler will get the starting nod behind home plate instead and bat seventh.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Nearing rehab assignment

    Trevino (quadriceps) could start a rehab assignment as soon as Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Trevino has been sidelined for three weeks due to a Grade 2 strain of his left quad. However, the catcher is getting close to appearing in games, with Sunday or Tuesday being named as potential dates for Trevino's minor-league rehab to begin. It's unclear how many rehab games he'll require before being cleared for activation.

  • Royals' Freddy Fermin: Getting rest Tuesday

    Fermin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    After starting six straight games -- four at DH, two at catcher -- Fermin will have the night off Tuesday. The 29-year-old is slashing .304/.352/.429 with a 18.4 percent strikeout rate in 245 plate appearances.
