Langeliers will sit Saturday against the Twins.

Langeliers has handled a heavy workload this season, sitting tied for fifth with 68 starts behind the plate and starting seven more games as the designated hitter. The arrival of fellow catcher Tyler Soderstrom may cut into his at-bats down the stretch, however. Langeliers caught while Soderstrom served as the DH in the first game of the second half Friday, but it will be Soderstrom behind the plate and Seth Brown at DH on Saturday.

Naylor will sit Saturday against Texas.

Naylor kicked off the second half by going 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, but his reward will be a trip to the bench. The Guardians have been hesitant to start him against southpaws, so it will be Cam Gallagher who gets the nod against Andrew Heaney.

Jansen will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Jansen opened the second half behind the plate but will turn things over to Alejandro Kirk on Saturday. Both backstops have dropped off at the plate this season after excellent production last year, though Jansen's 101 wRC+ (the product of a .227/.281/.459 slash line) beats Kirk's 78 wRC+ by a wide margin.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 12-4 loss to the Rangers.

Naylor was heating up just before the All-Star break and kept it going Friday with his second career homer. The catcher is 6-for-11 with five RBI over his last three contests. Through 60 plate appearances this season, he's slashing .218/.283/.364 with two long balls, seven RBI and nine runs scored. If Naylor can hit more consistently, he may be able to take a more definite edge in playing time over Cam Gallagher -- the two backstops have mostly worked in a platoon so far.

Soderstrom, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 0-for-3 with a walk in his big-league debut Friday against the Twins.

Soderstrom didn't slot in at either catcher or first base, instead filling the designated hitter role in his big-league debut. The 21-year-old is expected to provide some solid power numbers in time, and he should be in line for regular opportunities given his ability to fill up to three positions.

Heim went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's victory against the Guardians.

Heim already had three RBI before capping off his night with an eighth-inning solo homer. The catcher has belted six long balls over his last 20 games, giving him 13 this season. He's slashing a robust .287/.342/.490 with 62 RBI and 34 extra-base hits through 322 plate appearances.

Trevino isn't in the Yankees' lineup Friday against the Rockies, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Trevino went 3-for-14 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored over his last five games prior to the All-Star break. He'll get a day off Friday while Kyle Higashioka starts behind the plate and bats ninth.

Soderstrom's contract was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of Friday's game against the Twins.

Soderstrom is as good of a candidate as any to be the face of the Athletics franchise going forward. The 21-year-old lefty hitter has huge raw power and could retain catcher eligibility for several years while playing almost every day at a combination of catcher, first base and designated hitter. Soderstrom, who was selected with the 26th overall pick in the 2020 Draft, hit .254 with 20 home runs and 59 RBI in 69 games at Triple-A. There could be some initial growing pains with strikeouts and a low batting average, but Soderstrom has a chance to contribute positively in the four non-speed roto categories during his prime years.

The Athletics will call up Soderstrom from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Chris Correa of the Turlock Journal reports.

Soderstrom has put up a .254/.303/.536 slash line with 20 home runs over 69 games with Las Vegas this season while splitting his time between catcher and first base. The top prospect is expected to see most of his action with Oakland at first base and perhaps designated hitter, though with Manny Pina aggravating his wrist issue Sunday, Soderstrom could see some action as the team's No. 2 catcher behind Shea Langeliers. He's 21 years old and his numbers in the minors this season were only decent, given the hitter-friendly environments he played in. Still, Soderstrom is a premier talent who should be rostered in most fantasy leagues, especially ones in which he's eligible at catcher.

Bemboom cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Bemboom could have elected free agency, but he's accepted the outright assignment and will remain in the Orioles organization. The 33-year-old has a career .496 OPS over parts of five major-league seasons.
