  • Royals' Freddy Fermin: Delivers first homer of 2024

    Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Fermin started behind the dish due to Salvador Perez getting the day off. Fermin notched his second multi-hit game of the campaign and his eighth-inning solo home run off Erik Swanson marked Fermin's 10th career long ball. In 47 plate appearances, Fermin is slashing .227/.277/.318 and is striking out at a 10.6 percent clip.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Beginning on bench Monday

    Trevino is not in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup against Baltimore.

    Trevino had a big game in New York's 15-5 rout of the Brewers on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI. However, he's ceding the start behind the plate to Austin Wells on Monday. Trevino has put up far better offensive numbers this season, but Wells continues to get slightly more playing time -- over New York's past eight games, Wells has started behind the plate on five occasions while Trevino has gotten three starts.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Scratched with back tightness

    Perez was scratched from Monday's lineup versus the Blue Jays due to back tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Perez had been slated to catch and bat cleanup, but now Freddy Fermin will be behind the plate and Nelson Velazquez will move up to the cleanup spot. Consider Perez day-to-day.

  • Yankees' Carlos Narvaez: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Yankees recalled Narvaez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

    Narvaez will join the Yankees and provide the team with a third catcher while outfielder Alex Verdugo (personal) is on the paternity list. He will likely be returned to the minors later this week when Verdugo is ready to rejoin the 26-man active roster.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Three RBI across weekend series

    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Rockies.

    The Astros scored 20 runs combined across their two-game series against Colorado, and Diaz drove in three of those runs. His damage Sunday came late in the contest, as he drove in a pair of runners with a double in the eighth inning. Diaz now has at least one hit in five of his last seven games, and he's collected four extra-base hits (no home runs) in that span.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Homers in consecutive games

    Rutschman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Athletics.

    Rutschman homered for the second game in a row, doubling his total for the year to four. The catcher also struck out three times Sunday and is now striking out at a 16.0 percent rate. He's added 17 RBI, 17 runs scored and a .318/.361/.455 slash line through 119 plate appearances. Rutschman has maintained more playing time than the average catcher this year, as manager Brandon Hyde has often put him at designated hitter when he's not behind the dish.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Snaps out of slump

    Kirk went 3-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Kirk notched his first homer of the campaign, tagging Dodgers opener Michael Grove for a long ball in the second frame. The outburst was much needed for the slumping Kirk, who entered the contest 5-for-35 (.143) in his last 12 appearances and hitless during his last four games.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Knocks three hits

    Jeffers went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Angels.

    Jeffers knocked a double in the fourth inning followed by an RBI single in the fifth. He capped off his day with an RBI sacrifice fly in the eighth. He's collected multiple hits in three of his last five games, and Sunday was his second three-hit performance of the year. Jeffers boosted his slash line to .305/.392/.561 with 11 extra-base hits and 17 RBI through 97 plate appearances.

  • Kyle McCann C | COL

    Athletics' Kyle McCann: Blasts game-winning dinger

    McCann went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 7-6 win over the Orioles.

    McCann's second career dinger came off Baltimore closer Craig Kimbrel in the ninth and served as the game-winner. The backup catcher has not seen many opportunities this season, accumulating only 16 at-bats thus far, but has collected two hits and a homer in two of his last three starts.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Blasts second homer

    Rogers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Royals.

    Rogers' sixth-inning two-out blast spelled the end of the day for Kansas City starter Michael Wacha and provided the winning margin for the Tigers. It was just the second multi-hit game for Rogers, who raised his season average to .164 with two homers and three RBI.
