Perez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Brewers.

After sitting out Friday due to blurred vision, Perez was back behind the plate Saturday. The backstop appeared to be past the vision issue, as he collected a pair of hits, including a solo homer in the fifth inning. Perez is up to eight long balls on the campaign, second-most among MLB backstops.

Rutschman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 2-0 win against Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Offense was sparse in the contest, and Rutschman was the only player on either team to notch multiple hits. His first-inning solo homer to center field was all Baltimore would end up needing to pull out the victory. Rutschman has a modest four-game hitting streak going, during which he has gone 6-for-13 with a pair of homers, four walks and four RBI.

Wallach (concussion) is feeling much better and is on track to return Monday against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Wallach was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday, but thankfully his concussion appears to be a minor one. His return will presumably push Chris Okey back to the minors.

White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters that Grandal (hamstring) could return to the lineup Sunday against the Astros after being scratched from the lineup Saturday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

"Better to be safe, yeah," Grifol said. "Especially with the off day on Monday. We'll reassess it tomorrow. If he can play [Sunday], I might put him in there. If not we'll give him the extra 48 hours so he can be ready to go on Tuesday." Grandal hurt his hamstring Thursday and sat out Friday's contest, and while he was originally in the lineup Saturday against Houston, the White Sox exercised additional caution with the late scratch. In order to take advantage of Monday's team off day, there's a strong chance Grandal won't be back in the lineup for Sunday's contest.

Angels manager Phil Nevin told reporters Saturday that Stassi (personal/hip) remains without a return timetable, but he has resumed participating in baseball activities and working out, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Stassi has been out for the entirety of the 2023 season due to both a family issue as well as a hip injury that occurred just before Opening Day. The backstop has a chance to earn significant playing time when he does rejoin the Angels with several of their catchers dealing with injuries, but he may not return to Los Angeles until deeper into the summer.

Perez (eye) will bat third and start behind the plate Saturday against the Brewers.

Perez sat Thursday and then was scratched Friday with blurred vision. The Royals said they expected the issue to clear up soon, however, and it seems like it already hs. That's great news for Kansas City, as Perez is swinging a hot bat this season, slashing .289/.338/.511.

Grandal was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

Grandal exited Thursday's game against the Royals with right hamstring tightness and sat out Friday, but he was initially pencilled in for a return Saturday. The White Sox haven't officially given a reason for their updated lineup, which now features Seby Zavala behind the plate, but it's likely that Grandal wound up needing at least one more day to recover.

Maldonado will sit Saturday against the White Sox.

Maldonado has provided his typical unimpressive performance at the plate this season, slashing .186/.278/.291, but he's nonetheless started 28 of Houston's first 39 games. Cesar Salazar will be the backstop Saturday.

Grandal (hamstring) is starting at catcher and batting seventh Saturday against the Astros, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

This is excellent news, as Grandal's hamstring issue was indeed minor after being pulled from Thursday's game and sitting out Friday. Grandal is hitting .344 with three runs and two RBI in 10 games this month.

Heim will sit Saturday against Oakland.

Heim is off to an excellent start this season, hitting .319/.379/.546 with six homers. That's led to a heavy workload, as he started 11 of the last 13 games behind the plate prior to Saturday's off day. Sandy Leon will catch Jon Gray in Heim's absence.
