Jansen isn't in Toronto's lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Jansen is 3-for-13 with an RBI across his last four games, and he'll get a breather for the first game of Thursday's twin bill. Alejandro Kirk will take over behind the dish and bat eighth.

Manager Mark Kotsay said Thursday that Perez will not require surgery on his fractured left thumb, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

He will, however, need to wear a splint for at least two weeks. There is no timetable for Perez's return to the Athletics' active roster.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

The Tigers and Athletics are wrapping up their three-game series with a day game after a night game, so Rogers will get a breather after catching the last two contests. Eric Haase will form a battery with starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen.

Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a double in a loss to the Giants on Wednesday.

Raleigh's two-bagger was his first extra-base hit since June 25 and first double since June 14. The backstop has been inching his offensive numbers forward for the better part of the last month, however, producing a .270 average and .758 OPS across his last 18 games. That sample includes three home runs, seven RBI and a 23.9 percent strikeout rate, an improvement on the 26.3 percent figure he went into the stretch with.

Langeliers is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Detroit, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

It's a day game after a night game, so it's a natural spot for Langeliers to get a breather. Manny Pina is catching Hogan Harris.

Jeffers went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

The backstop took Taylor Clarke deep in the seventh inning for his fourth home run of the year. Jeffers snapped a 19-game homer drought with the blast, a stretch in which he hit .255 (14-for-55) with five doubles, three RBI and five runs. Christian Vazquez has done little at the plate this season, posting a .566 OPS compared to Jeffers' .801, but the former's defensive chops have kept him in the starting role.

Thaiss went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk against the Padres in Wednesday's loss.

Thaiss briefly tied the game in the seventh inning with a 424-foot blast, but San Diego came back to pull out the win. Between Thaiss' previous homer June 24 against Colorado and his long ball Wednesday, he had gone just 3-for-22 with no extra-base hits. Nonetheless, he's worked his way back atop the Angels' catching depth chart due largely to the even greater struggles of Chad Wallach, who hasn't logged a hit since mid-June and has gone 0-for-26 with 15 strikeouts over his past 11 contests.

Langeliers went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Tigers.

Langeliers extended Oakland's lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning with a solo shot off Eduardo Rodriguez. The 25-year-old Langeliers is now 6-for-17 (.353) over his last five games following an 0-for-9 stretch. The Oakland backstop is now slashing .208/.269/.369 with 10 homers, 33 RBI and 29 runs scored through 284 plate appearances this season.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Diaz launched a solo shot in the bottom of the second to put the Astros on the board. The catcher wasn't done, however, taking Chase Anderson deep for a second time in the fourth to make it a 3-0 ballgame. Diaz now has three home runs over his last three games to go along with four RBI and two runs scored. He's also hit safely in five of his last seven contests.

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

Vazquez will get a breather in the series finale after starting behind the plate Monday and Tuesday while going 1-for-8 with a run scored. Ryan Jeffers will form a battery with starting pitcher Pablo Lopez on Wednesday.
