  • Orioles' David Banuelos: Departs 40-man roster

    Banuelos was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Friday.

    The move frees up a 40-man roster spot for Ryan McKenna. It's the second time this month that Banuelos has been designated for assignment, so he could refuse this one if he wants to try his luck in free agency.

    Tigers' Carson Kelly: Scratched with sore ribcage

    Kelly was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals due to left ribcage soreness.

    The Tigers are saying Kelly will be available off the bench, so while the injury was enough to knock him out of the starting lineup, it doesn't sound like it's a long-term concern. Jake Rogers will now do the catching for Reese Olson.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Goes deep for team's lone run

    Trevino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Athletics.

    Trevino plated an early run for New York with his solo blast in the second inning, but the team's offense did not score again. Still, the homer continued a strong recent stretch of offense by the backstop, as he's built an eight-game hitting streak during which he's batting .423/.464/.654. The hot span hasn't moved Trevino out of a timeshare behind the plate, however -- both he and Austin Wells have played three games over New York's past six contests.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Clobbers first-inning homer

    Perez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Although Thursday's game was called after five innings due to poor weather, Perez managed to make an impact, swatting a game-deciding, two-run shot off Jose Berrios in the first frame. Over the Royals last two series, Perez is batting .435 with eight RBI and one strikeout across 27 plate appearances.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Back in action Thursday

    Raleigh (mouth) will start at catcher and bat third in Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

    Raleigh missed Wednesday's 5-1 loss following a dental procedure, but he'll be back in action for Thursday's series finale. The switch-hitting catcher enters play Thursday having slugged home runs in four of his last five games.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Gets rest Thursday

    Jansen is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

    Jansen will get a breather for the day game after he caught eight innings of Wednesday's 3-2 loss while going 1-for-3 with a walk. Alejandro Kirk gets the nod behind the dish for Toronto in the series finale in Kansas City.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Resting Thursday

    Heim is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

    Heim looks to be receiving some routine maintenance as the Rangers and Mariners wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Andrew Knizner will get the starting nod behind the plate.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Gets rest after big game

    Wong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

    Wong will get a breather for the day game after he powered the Red Sox to an 8-0 win Wednesday by going 4-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI while also reaching base on a hit by pitch. Reese McGuire will get the nod behind the plate Thursday, but the hot-hitting Wong appears to have clearly supplanted him as the Red Sox's preferred option at catcher.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Getting day off

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Red Sox.

    Naylor started each of the previous three games at catcher for the Guardians, but he'll be given some rest for the Thursday afternoon tilt. David Fry will draw the start at catcher for Cleveland.

  • White Sox's Martin Maldonado: Sits in second straight game

    Maldonado is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Maldonado finds himself on the bench for a second straight day, ending a stretch of eight consecutive contests in which he and Korey Lee alternated turns behind the dish. With the White Sox sitting on a 3-21 record and the 37-year-old Maldonado having recorded just two hits in 42 at-bats on the season, it's possible that the organization will begin to start phasing him out to open up more opportunities for the 25-year-old Lee.
