Jansen went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

He supplied all the offense Kevin Gausman and the Toronto bullpen would need when he took Martin Perez deep in the fifth inning. Jansen has gone yard three times in the last two games, giving him nine homers and 30 RBI in only 40 games this season, but his .216/.276/.470 slash line has so far lagged behind last season's career-best performance.

Naylor will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Naylor will also be in the starting lineup and catch Tanner Bibee on Saturday. The backstop's path to a prominent role was cleared when the Guardians designated Mike Zunino for assignment, and in 269 plate appearances with Columbus, Naylor has registered an .873 OPS with 12 homers. The 23-year-old should see the majority of the reps behind the plate beginning Saturday.

Gallagher is starting at catcher and batting ninth Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

Gallagher will take over behind the plate Friday after Mike Zunino was designated for assignment by the Guardians. Gallagher could now become Cleveland's primary catcher, though he has produced an anemic .147/.177/.187 slash line over 75 at-bats in 29 games this season. David Fry is also an option behind the plate, but top prospect Bo Naylor, who's with Triple-A Columbus, figures to be on his way sooner rather than later.

Grandal is not in the lineup Friday against the Mariners.

Grandal went 5-for-10 in the final two games of Chicago's previous series against the Dodgers, but he'll grab some rest Friday night in Seattle. Seby Zavala is starting at catcher and bating ninth for the White Sox.

Rogers is not in the lineup Friday against the Twins.

Eric Haase will catch and bat eighth after Rogers started the last two games for Detroit. The 28-year-old has been the more reliable defender and productive hitter in 2023, but Haase continues to get fairly regular playing time.

Wallach went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a 5-3 victory over the Rangers.

Wallach opened the scoring in the contest with a 424-foot solo shot to center field. The homer extended his modest hitting streak to five games, during which he's gone 5-for-11 with two long balls, three RBI and four runs. Wallach has launched six home runs and is slashing .280/.341/.547 in just 82 plate appearances on the campaign. Those solid numbers are starting to earn him more playing time, as Wallach has started behind the plate in each of the Angels' past three contests.

Perez (hand) is out of the lineup Friday against the Angels.

Perez took a pitch off his left hand in Wednesday's series finale against the Reds and is day-to-day with a contusion leading into the Royals' three-game weekend set versus the visiting Angels. Freddy Fermin will catch and bat sixth Friday.

Trevino isn't starting Friday against the Red Sox.

Trevino is 4-for-15 with two RBI and a run scored across his last five games and will sit Friday in favor of Kyle Higashioka, who will bat eighth.

Fry went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and an additional run in Thursday's 8-6 victory versus the Padres.

Fry helped Cleveland get off to a fast start with a three-run shot to left field in the first inning. It was the first long ball of his major-league career in his 20th plate appearance. Fry went deep 17 times at the Triple-A level in 2022, so he has demonstrated some pop in the past. His .227/.261/.409 slash line so far this season isn't going to turn many heads, but Fry's ability to play catcher (in addition to three infield spots) could open the door to more playing time given the offensive struggles of fellow backstops Mike Zunino and Cam Gallagher.

Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in Thursday's win over Toronto.

After going down on strikes in his first at-bat, Rutschman went on to reach base in each of his next three trips to the plate. His leadoff home run in the bottom of the fifth tied the game at 2-2, while his two-out single in the sixth advanced Austin Hays to second base before the latter eventually came around to score the leading run. The home run was Rutschman's first since May 26, and he's now 6-for-14 at the plate over his last three games.
