    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Logs three hits in loss

    Naylor went 3-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Royals.

    Naylor has a pair of three-hit efforts over his last five games, but he went 0-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts in between those contests. The catcher has started to show a bit more life with the bat, hitting .286 (14-for-49) with eight extra-base hits over 16 contests in June, though he also struck out 15 times. Naylor's at a .207/.274/.335 slash line with four home runs, 17 RBI, 22 runs scored, one stolen base, nine doubles and one triple through 197 plate appearances this year. His playing time has rebounded after dipping in late May and early June, but Naylor will need to continue to make a good effort due to David Fry being around to poach starts behind the dish.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Tigers' Carson Kelly: Tees off Sunday

    Kelly went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Angels.

    Kelly provided an offensive jolt with his fifth home run of the year from the fifth spot in the lineup, one spot behind fellow catcher Jake Rogers, who served as the DH. The two players continue to split time behind the plate, which limits the fantasy upside of both of them. Kelly has been the more effective offensive player overall, however, as he has a .711 OPS compared to a .609 mark for Rogers.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Launches 14th home run

    Perez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's win against Cleveland.

    Perez belted his 14th home run of the season Sunday, adding a third RBI on a fielder's choice. The 34-year-old had a rough June in which he batted just .194, but Perez remains one of the most reliable catchers in fantasy. On the season, Perez is batting .281 with 14 home runs, 16 doubles and 32 runs scored in 83 games played.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Heim has a .163/.265/.233 slash line in his past 13 games and will sit for Sunday's series finale. Andrew Knizner will take over behind the plate and bat eighth.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Receives breather Sunday

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

    Langeliers went 3-for-8 with a home run, an additional RBI and a steal while starting the first two games of the series but will head to the bench for Sunday's finale. Kyle McCann will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Luis Medina.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: On bench Sunday

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Jeffers and Christian Vazquez continue to split playing time behind the plate. Jeffers went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's contest, which brought an end to his modest seven-game hit streak.

  • David Fry C | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Riding pine Sunday

    Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Jose Ramirez will get a day out of the infield and serve as the Guardians' designated hitter, so Fry will hit the bench to accommodate him. Fry had started in each of the last three games, going 4-for-10 with two doubles and two walks to bring his OPS up to .950 on the season.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Receiving rest Sunday

    Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Lee will get the afternoon off after he started at catcher in both of the first two contests of the series. Martin Maldonado will spell Lee behind the dish in the series finale.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Losing work to Austin Wells

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    He'll take a seat for the second day in a row and the third time in four games while Austin Wells earns another turn behind the plate. Trevino has gone just 3-for-26 at the dish over his last nine games, while Wells is holding down a .781 OPS in June. Manager Aaron Boone seems to be favoring the hotter bat in Wells for the moment.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Records fourth steal in loss

    Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

    Raleigh is much more renowned for his power than his speed, but he's now up to a career-high four stolen bases with Saturday's swipe. The slugging backstop has reached safely in seven straight games, a stretch during which he owns a .429 on-base percentage thanks in large part to a 25.0 percent walk rate.
