  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Plates two in win

    Rogers went 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-0 victory over the Royals.

    The Detroit backstop started his 34th game of the season and drove home two with his sixth career triple in the fifth inning. Rogers is not a viable fantasy option while he is the clear backup to Dillon Dingler. Through 123 total plate appearances, the 30-year-old is now slashing .200/.295/.362 with 18 RBI and 14 runs scored.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Set for September call-up

    The Royals are expected to call up Jensen from Triple-A Omaha prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Angels.

    Jensen is arguably the Royals' top prospect and has thrived in his first stint at Triple-A this season, posting a .288/.404/.647 slash line with 14 home runs and three stolen bases over 43 games. The Royals may look to limit the left-handed-hitting Jensen's exposure to southpaws initially, but he could be in store for at least semi-regular playing time versus right-handed pitching while moving between catcher and designated hitter.

  • Caden Bodine C | BAL

    Orioles' Caden Bodine: Out with bruised hand

    Single-A Delmarva placed Bodine on the 7-day injured list Saturday due to a bruised left hand, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    While Bodine's injury isn't significant, it will spell an end to his first professional season. The No. 30 overall selection in June's First-Year Player Draft, Bodine slashed .326/.408/.349 over 49 plate appearances for Delmarva.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Resting up Sunday

    Higashioka is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    After starting in each of the last four games -- three at catcher, one at designated hitter -- Higashioka will retreat to the bench for the series finale in Sacramento. Jonah Heim will get the nod behind the dish in place of Higashioka on Sunday.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Getting breather Sunday

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

    Langeliers started the past eight games but will receive Sunday off after batting .182 (6-for-33) with a homer and 11 strikeouts during that span. Willie MacIver will take over behind the plate for the series finale versus Texas.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Taking Sunday off

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

    Dingler appears to be getting a routine breather as the Tigers close out their series in Kansas City. Jake Rogers will step in behind the plate and will form a battery with starting pitcher Tarik Skubal.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: On bench Sunday

    O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    O'Hoppe started the previous three games but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-11 with a walk and one run. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Jose Soriano.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Taking seat Sunday

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

    Wells will get a chance to catch his breath after he started behind the dish in the first two games of the weekend while going 3-for-8 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and an additional run. Ben Rice will handle catching duties for the Yankees in the finale.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Cracks homer in loss

    Narvaez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 10-3 loss to the Pirates.

    Narvaez evened the game at 1-1 in the third inning with his 12th home run of the season. After overtaking the primary catching job from Connor Wong in the first half, Narvaez has cooled off significantly. He's slashing .167/.213/.337 over 24 games since the All-Star break.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Receiving breather Sunday

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

    After starting behind the plate in both of the first two games of the series, Naylor will get some rest for the finale. Austin Hedges will handle catching duties for the Guardians on Sunday.
