  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Three hits in Tuesday's loss

    Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.

    Rutschman is on a tear during his five-game hitting streak, going 11-for-24 (.458) with seven RBI in that span. All three of his hits Tuesday were singles, and he has just two extra-base hits during the active streak. Rutschman continues to cement his status as one of the top catchers in baseball with a .323/.366/.419 slash line with two home runs, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored over 101 plate appearances this season.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Belts fifth homer

    Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Marcus Stroman left a breaking ball up in the strike zone in the second inning, and Langeliers launched it 414 feet to right-center field. It was the catcher's first long ball since his three-homer performance April 9 against the Rangers -- in the 11 games between those power displays, he went just 3-for-33 (.091) with a double as his only extra-base hit. On the season, Langeliers is slashing .174/.234/.406 through 77 plate appearances with five home runs and 11 RBI.

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Hitless in return

    Heim went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Mariners.

    Heim returned to the team following a stint on bereavement leave. Texas' starting catcher is batting .257/.286/.419 with three home runs, three doubles, 15 RBI and seven runs scored over 77 plate appearances.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Keeps raking

    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win against the Rangers.

    Raleigh tagged Dane Dunning for a two-run shot in the first inning to plate J.P. Crawford, marking the fourth long ball of his last five appearances. During that stretch, Raleigh is batting .474 with nine RBI, five runs scored and three multi-hit games.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Day off Tuesday

    Jansen isn't in Toronto's lineup for Tuesday's game aganist the Royals.

    Jansen will get a breather after going 1-for-4 with a double during Monday's series opener. Alejandro Kirk will step in as the Jays' catcher and bat seventh.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Pushes average back up to .318

    O'Hoppe went 3-for-4 with a run in Monday's loss to Baltimore.

    O'Hoppe batted out of the No. 7 slot in the lineup and accounted for one of the team's two runs and for three of the team's eight hits. The backstop notched his fifth multi-hit game of the season and got his season batting average back up to .318 after a recent 2-for-18 skid. O'Hoppe also has two homers, seven RBI and eight runs over 74 plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Out with strained hamstring

    The Red Sox placed Heineman on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to April 22, with a right hamstring strain.

    Heineman evidently must have suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Pirates. He'll be eligible to return in early May but isn't a given to be back on the big-league roster once he's healthy, as the Red Sox might send him to Triple-A Worcester instead.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Getting breather Tuesday

    Jeffers is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    It looks to be a routine day off for the Twins' top catcher. Christian Vazquez will be behind the plate Tuesday while Pablo Lopez does the pitching.

  • Orioles' David Banuelos: Sent to Triple-A

    The Orioles optioned Banuelos to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

    The 27-year-old had his contract selected by Baltimore on Monday but was only with the big club one day, as prospect Heston Kjerstad was promoted Tuesday. Banuelos isn't likely to receive another look with the Orioles if Adley Rutschman and James McCann stay healthy.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Returns from bereavement

    The Rangers activated Heim from the bereavement list Tuesday.

    Heim was away from the club for two games while tending to more urgent personal matters. Sam Huff had been up briefly to back up Andrew Knizner, but he's now returned to Triple-A Round Rock with Heim set to resume his role as the Rangers' everyday catcher.
