  • Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Dealing with foot issue

    Manager Kurt Suzuki said Wednesday that d'Arnaud is dealing with pain in his foot, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    D'Arnaud came out of Wednesday's game against the White Sox in the fifth inning after attempting to leg out an infield single. He reportedly had trouble putting weight on his foot after exiting, so the Angels will send him in for further testing. More will be known about the severity of his injury once the results come back, but Sebastian Rivero could be in line to make a start or two behind home plate once the Angels begin their weekend series in Toronto.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Idle against lefty

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    With a lefty (Cole Ragans) on the bump, the left-handed-hitting Naylor will take a seat Wednesday. Austin Hedges will handle catching duties for the Guardians.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Rangers' Danny Jansen: Resting Wednesday

    Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    Jansen will be given the night off after he had started behind the plate in three of the Rangers' previous four contests. Kyle Higashioka will handle catching duties Wednesday.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Not in Kansas City lineup

    Jensen is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Guardians.

    It's a routine day off after Jensen had started each of the last seven games. The Royals will go with Elias Diaz at catcher and Salvador Perez at designated hitter Wednesday.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Taking seat Wednesday

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    He'll receive the night off while Minnesota goes with Victor Caratini behind the dish. Jeffers has been an offensive tear of late, slashing .324/.400/.529 with two home runs, one stolen base, nine RBI and seven runs over his last nine starts.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Out of lineup Wednesday

    Quero is on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    After going 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts Tuesday, Quero will head to the bench once again for the White Sox. Drew Romo will start his third game in the past four days behind the plate. The 23-year-old Quero opened the campaign as Chicago's primary backstop with Kyle Teel (hamstring) on the injured list, but his struggles have opened the door for Romo.

  • Drew Romo C | CHW

    White Sox's Drew Romo: Poaching work from Quero

    Romo will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Slated to start for the fifth time in the White Sox's last six matchups with right-handed pitchers, Romo may have at least temporarily supplanted the struggling Edgar Quero as the team's No. 1 backstop. Since being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on April 25, Romo has made a splash at the back end of the Chicago lineup, going 3-for-14 with three home runs and a 6:3 BB:K over his first six games with the big club.

  • Astros' Christian Vazquez: Absent from lineup

    Vazquez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

    Vazquez is at the top of the Astros' catcher depth chart following the injury to Yainer Diaz (oblique), but he'll get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. Cesar Salazar is doing the catching and batting ninth in what will be his season debut with the big club.

  • Blue Jays' Brandon Valenzuela: Resting up Wednesday

    Valenzuela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    After catching eight innings of Tuesday night's 4-3 loss, Valenzuela will be rested for the series finale in Tampa. Tyler Heineman will handle catching duties for the Blue Jays.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Powers offense in wild win

    Basallo went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, a run scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Marlins.

    The 21-year-old rapped an RBI double in the first inning, a two-run single in the third and an RBI triple in the fifth as part of an impressive offensive eruption by the O's. Basallo has four multi-hit performances in his last 10 games, batting a blistering .395 (15-for-38) over that stretch with seven of his 15 hits going for extra bases (four doubles, a triple and two homers), along with four runs and eight RBI.
