  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Exits early Sunday

    O'Hoppe (head) exited Sunday's contest against the Athletics in the seventh inning, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    O'Hoppe was struck in the head/neck area by the backswing of Jacob Wilson in the top of the seventh inning, and he ultimately left the contest as a result. The catcher was replaced behind the plate by Travis d'Arnaud, and O'Hoppe's status will likely be updated in the near future.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Receiving breather Sunday

    Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Narvaez will get a chance to rest after he caught the first two games of the series and went 1-for-7 with a double, walk and a run scored. Connor Wong will step in behind the plate Sunday and will form a battery with starting pitcher Brayan Bello.

  • Athletics' Willie MacIver: Filling in for resting Langeliers

    MacIver will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Angels.

    With top backstop Shea Langeliers resting for the day game, MacIver will receive a turn behind the plate. Since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 5, MacIver has gone just 3-for-28 (.107 average) with four RBI, two runs and a stolen base in eight games.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Receiving rest Sunday

    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    The Athletics will give Langeliers a breather for the day game after he started at catcher or designated hitter in each of the previous four contests. Willie MacIver will step in behind the dish for Langeliers in the series finale.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Idle Sunday

    Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Dingler will get the Sunday afternoon game off after he had started behind the dish Friday and Saturday. Jake Rogers will handle catching duties for Detroit in the series finale.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Idle Sunday

    Quero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Quero will get a breather after he had started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the last four contests. Kyle Teel will be behind the dish Sunday, while Andrew Benintendi serves as Chicago's DH.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Sitting Sunday

    Basallo (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    The 20-year-old departed Saturday's game after taking a foul tip off his right hand. X-rays on his hand came back negative, so it appears Basallo won't miss extended time. Alex Jackson will step in behind the dish Sunday.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Goes on IL with concussion

    The Twins placed Jeffers on the 7-day injured list Sunday with a concussion.

    Jeffers took a foul tip off the mask Thursday and had been held out of the lineup for Minnesota's ensuing two games. With the backstop now having been diagnosed with a concussion, he won't be eligible to rejoin the Twins until next Friday. Mickey Gasper and Jhonny Pereda will serve as the Twins' options behind the plate while both Jeffers and Christian Vazquez (shoulder) are on the shelf.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Knocks in three

    Diaz went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Rangers.

    Diaz delivered an RBI double in the sixth inning and followed that up with a single that plated two in the eighth frame. This marked his first multi-hit effort in his last eight starts, though he has managed four extra-base hits in that span (all doubles). Diaz has also come through with timely hits lately, producing 15 RBI across his last 29 starts.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Gets aboard four times in big win

    Langeliers went 3-for-6 with a double, a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 17-4 win over the Angels.

    Langeliers was productive out of the leadoff spot and has hit safely in all four of his games in September so far. He's gone 6-for-18 with three walks and four strikeouts to begin the month. His steal Saturday was his first since July 30 versus the Mariners. Overall, the catcher is batting .264 with an .846 OPS, 29 home runs, 67 RBI, 63 runs scored, 26 doubles and six steals over 108 contests.
