    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Heading to bench

    Jansen will yield to Alejandro Kirk on Tuesday after going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in back-to-back starts behind the dish. Jansen is slashing .214/.305/.375 with six homers and 27 runs across 220 plate appearances this season.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Out against left-hander

    Wells is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    It's lefty Jose Quintana on the mound for the Mets, so the left-handed hitting Wells will sit in favor of righty Carlos Narvaez. Wells had started each of the previous six contests.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: On bench again

    Naylor is absent from the starting nine for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

    Naylor will take a seat for a third consecutive contest, with David Fry batting fourth and catching for Tuesday's series opener. Naylor is 7-for-39 (.179) with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs during July.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Drives in only run Monday

    Raleigh went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Monday.

    Raleigh opened the scoring on the night with a first-inning single that plated J.P. Crawford (finger), a run that would turn out to be the only one for the Mariners. The 27-year-old snapped an 0-for-16, four-game skid that stretched back to the final game before the All-Star break with the timely knock, but he's now gone six straight contests without an extra-base hit.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Crushes homer in win

    Perez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Perez put the Royals ahead for good with his third-inning homer and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth. The catcher is batting .268 (15-for-56) with four homers and 14 RBI over 15 contests in July. For the year, he's been a reliable power bat in the heart of the lineup with a .279/.341/.475 slash line, 18 homers, 66 RBI, 41 runs scored and 16 doubles through 98 games.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Picks up second steal

    O'Hoppe went 0-for-2, got hit by two pitches and stole a base in Monday's 3-1 win over the Mariners.

    O'Hoppe has been plunked five times over his last 12 contests, and he's batting .286 (12-for-42) with a 1:10 BB:K in that span. The catcher took advantage of his times on base Monday, logging his second steal of the campaign on his fourth attempt. O'Hoppe is slashing .277/.333/.467 with 14 home runs, 42 RBI, 43 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple over 86 games this season.

  • Astros' Cesar Salazar: Optioned to Sugar Land

    The Astros optioned Salazar to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for Victor Caratini (hip), who was activated off the 10-day injured list Monday. Salazar has served as the backup catcher since he was initially called up June 11, and across nine major-league games he went 7-for-22 with two doubles and eight RBI. In Triple-A this season, Salazar is slashing .274/.387/.458 with six home runs and 35 RBI across 204 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Victor Caratini: Activated off injured list

    The Astros activated Caratini (hip) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Caratini completed four rehab outings during his recovery from a strained left hip, going 4-for-10 with one home run and two RBI. To make room for Caratini on the 26-man roster, the Astros optioned Cesar Salazar to Triple-A Sugar Land.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Launches seventh home run

    Wells went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's win against the Rays.

    The 25-year-old slugged the first of five Yankee home runs on the afternoon, going back-to-back with Anthony Volpe in the second inning. Wells continues to see regular playing time behind the plate, especially with Jose Trevino (quadriceps) on the shelf. Wells has compiled a .223 batting average with seven home runs, 21 RBI and 27 runs scored across 65 games this season.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Out versus left-hander

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

    Southpaw Tarik Skubal will be the Tigers' starting pitching, so the left-handed-hitting Naylor will begin the contest on the bench. Austin Hedges will draw the start at catcher.
