Rortvedt isn't in the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Rortvedt will get a day to regroup after going 1-for-7 in three games since returning from paternity leave. Alex Jackson will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth.

The Rays outrighted Brantly to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

While Ben Rortvedt was on the paternity list last week, the Rays briefly added Brantly to the 40-man roster and had him serve as the No. 2 catcher for the big club behind Alex Jackson. Before the Rays cast him off the 40-man roster when Rortvedt rejoined the team Saturday, Brantly went 1-for-9 while appearing in three games, marking his first big-league action since the 2022 campaign. The 35-year-old backstop will now head back to Durham, but he could get another call-up in September if Rortvedt or Jackson misses time or if the Rays want to carry a third catcher.

Perez went 5-for-7 with two walks, two doubles, two home runs, three runs scored and six RBI across both games of Monday's doubleheader sweep of the Guardians.

The veteran slugger was behind the plate for the first game and DH'ed in the second, but Perez tore the cover off the ball no matter what his defensive responsibilities were. Both long balls came in the nightcap, as he launched a solo shot off Logan Allen in the fifth inning to snap a 4-4 tie before destroying a Tim Herrin curveball in the sixth for a grand slam. Perez has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, boosting his August slash line to .302/.361/.616, and the 34-year-old is up to 25 homers on the season -- the fourth time in his career he's reached that threshold.

Wells went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two strikeouts in Monday's 5-2 win against the Nationals.

Wells has been sitting a lot against left-handed starters since the return of Jose Trevino, but he was given the start on Monday against Mitchell Parker. His home run in the sixth inning came against right-handed reliever Tanner Rainey, so all 10 of Wells' home runs have come against righties. Wells should continue to hit in the middle of the lineup against righties, and he is slashing .326/.391/.526 over his last 26 games.

Quero has been on the 7-day injured list since Aug. 17 due to a back injury, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

The club has yet to reveal a timetable for Quero's return, and Paul Janish, Director of Player Development, stated Monday that the backstop will likely remain out a bit longer, per Fegan. "At this juncture of the season, we just need to make sure that he's completely healthy," said Janish. Quero was being considered for a September promotion prior to suffering the injury, and his current placement on the IL could prevent him from making his big-league debut if he's not activated in the near future.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

After leaving late in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Cardinals due to a right hand injury, Jeffers returned to the lineup for the series finale Sunday, catching all nine innings of the Twins' 3-2 loss. The Twins haven't indicated that Jeffers emerged from the contest with any sort of setback, as his absence from the lineup a day later is likely just a result of him being in a near-even timeshare behind the plate with Christian Vazquez, who draws the starting nod Monday.

Rogers is absent from Monday's lineup against the White Sox.

Dillon Dingler will start behind home plate for the second straight game. Since the beginning of August, Rogers has slashed .167/.205/.405 with five runs scored, two home runs and 11 RBI over 44 plate appearances.

Naylor is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Royals.

Austin Hedges will draw the start at catcher for the early game while the Royals send a lefty (Cole Ragans) to the hill. Right-hander Alec Marsh is starting for Kansas City in the nightcap, so expect the lefty-hitting Naylor to settle back in behind the dish for that contest.

Diaz went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Diaz was on the latter half of back-to-back home runs with Alex Bregman in the seventh to put the Astros ahead 5-3. The long ball extended Diaz's hitting streak to nine games. Over the last 30 games, he's hitting .350/.369/.602 with eight homers, 20 RBI and 17 runs scored. He's been one of the best catchers in baseball during just his second full season, slashing .301/.327/.462 with 16 homers, 72 RBI, 57 runs, a steal and a 19:76 BB:K in 493 plate appearances.

Kirk went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a bases-loaded walk in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Angels.

Kirk's walk forced in the opening run in the third inning, and he tacked on two more when he went deep off Matt Moore in the seventh. The homer was Kirk's second in five games and his fifth long ball of the year. The catcher is up to a .248/.322/.358 slash line with 41 RBI, 18 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases through 78 contests this season.
