Rogers went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a solo home run and an additional run in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Rogers hit a solo home run in the fifth inning, his 12th of the year, then delivered an RBI single during a four-run ninth inning rally. He's now sporting a .760 OPS, which is well ahead of Eric Haase's .529 mark. That should allow Rogers to stick as Detroit's primary catcher, with Haase available to spell him and also play some in the outfield.

Jansen (forearm) isn't starting Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Jansen will now miss two consecutive starts after suffering a bruised left forearm during Sunday's game with the Mariners. Alejandro Kirk will once again start behind the plate and bat sixth.

Vazquez isn't in the Twins' lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

After going 1-for-3 with an RBI on Monday, Vazquez will get a breather for Tuesday's contest. Ryan Jeffers will take over behind the dish and bat eighth.

Perez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 win over the Guardians.

Perez's sixth-inning blast gave the Royals enough of a cushion to secure the win. The catcher has gone deep in back-to-back games since he snapped a 19-game power drought. He's hitting just .214 (12-for-56) in July, a slump that's dropped him to a .246/.287/.438 slash line with 17 homers, 43 RBI, 40 runs scored and 15 doubles through 90 contests overall.

Murphy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in an extra-inning loss to the Twins on Monday.

The game was scoreless through four frames before Murphy put the Mariners on the board with a 421-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth. It was his seventh homer of the season, six of which have come over his past 14 contests. Murphy has been red-hot over that span, batting .372 (16-for-43) with nine extra-base hits. While he's still behind Cal Raleigh on the depth chart, the productive stretch has earned Murphy more playing time.

Perez was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, per the MLB's transactions log.

Perez was promoted to the big leagues at the beginning of July and wasn't able to get much going at the dish. He went 1-for-11 with a double and an RBI, and he'll now head to the minors where he'll have a better chance to see consistent at-bats. The White Sox have yet to announce a corresponding move.

Perez (thumb) remains on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured left thumb.

Perez has been out of action since July 4 after suffering the injury, and while the Oakland medical staff determined shortly after he was placed on the IL that he won't need surgery, he's yet to make much progress. The backstop is without a concrete timetable for a return at this time.

Perez (thumb) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, per the MLB's transactions log.

Perez hasn't seen any action since July 1 after going down with a left thumb fracture, but he's since been activated and will now make his way to the minors. The White Sox are expected to announce a corresponding move prior to Tuesday's matchup with the Giants.

Jansen (forearm) is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Dodgers.

Jansen will miss Monday's contest after exiting Sunday's matchup with Mariners due to a left forearm contusion. He can be considered day-to-day for the time being with Alejandro Kirk replacing him at catcher and batting seventh in the series opener with the Dodgers. Per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca, Jansen will be available to hit off the bench if need be.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Raleigh appears to be receiving some routine maintenance after he caught both of the final two games of the Mariners' weekend series with the Blue Jays. Tom Murphy will spell Raleigh behind the dish in the series opener in Minnesota.
