  • Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Pops first homer

    Feduccia 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Orioles.

    The backstop took Shane Baz deep in the second inning for the Rays' only offense until they erupted for four runs in the eighth to steal a win. It was Feduccia's first long ball of the year, and he's slashing .278/.365/.370 through 54 plate appearances on the season. It appears he's taken hold of the primary catching job with five starts in Tampa Bay's past seven games.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Getting day off against lefty

    Jensen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    After starting and going 1-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 7-1 loss while southpaw Ranger Suarez took the bump for Boston, the left-handed-hitting Jensen will move to the bench for the series finale. Elias Diaz will fill in for Jensen behind the dish as the Red Sox send another southpaw (Connelly Early) to the bump.

    Rangers' Danny Jansen: Resting for day game

    Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Jansen will receive a breather for the day game after he caught all nine innings of Tuesday night's 10-0 win and went 1-for-5 with a double and a run. Kyle Higashioka will get the nod behind the dish in the series finale in Colorado.

  • Twins' Victor Caratini: Poised for regular run behind plate

    Caratini will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Caratini will work behind the dish for the second straight game and should be in line for ample playing time as the Twins' No. 1 catcher for the foreseeable future after Ryan Jeffers landed on the shelf Tuesday with a hand injury that will likely sideline him for at least six weeks. A career .241 hitter, Caratini could prove to be useful in mixed leagues that start two catchers since he's the rare backstop that isn't a total liability in batting average, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to provide much production in other categories if he continues to occupy a spot in the bottom half of the Minnesota lineup.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Moved to 60-day IL

    The White Sox transferred Teel (hamstring/knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

    Teel has been on the shelf all season due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the World Baseball Classic, and his 2026 debut with the White Sox has now been further delayed after he suffered an LCL sprain in his right knee while playing in a rehab game at Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. Now expected to remain out for another several weeks, Teel will head to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man roster spot for left-hander Joe Rock, whom the White Sox acquired in a trade with the Rays on Tuesday.

  • Ike Irish C | BAL

    Orioles' Ike Irish: Nursing wrist issue

    Irish will be out of High-A Frederick's lineup for the next few days due to a right wrist bruise, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The 22-year-old suffered the injury during Sunday's game against Hudson Valley when he was hit by a pitch, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. Irish is one of Baltimore's top prospects and has enjoyed a strong start to the 2026 campaign with seven homers, nine steals and an .874 OPS in his first 33 games at the High-A level.

  • Drew Romo C | CHW

    White Sox's Drew Romo: Resting Tuesday

    Romo is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mariners.

    Romo, who has taken over starting catcher duties for the White Sox, is taking a seat Tuesday while Edgar Quero starts behind the plate, batting ninth.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Back in action Tuesday

    Narvaez (finger) will start at catcher and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Royals.

    Narvaez was pulled from Sunday's game versus Atlanta with right middle finger soreness and did not play Monday. However, he is feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday as the Red Sox look to clinch the series win.

  • Guardians' Patrick Bailey: Out of lineup again Tuesday

    Bailey is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

    It's the second straight day on the bench for Bailey, who has yet to start consecutive games since arriving in Cleveland via trade. Austin Hedges is behind the dish for the Guardians again Tuesday, and the two backstops figure to continue sharing the job pretty evenly.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Slated to miss 6-to-8 weeks

    Jeffers needs surgery to remove a fractured left hamate bone and is expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

    The Twins announced Jeffers' placement on the injured list earlier Tuesday, and surgery is typical for this type of injury. The timeline puts Jeffers on the shelf until around July 1 in a best-case scenario, and it's possible he won't make it back until after the All-Star break. In the meantime, Victor Caratini will receive the lion's share of the reps at catcher for Minnesota.
