The Orioles selected Kolozsvary from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

With Ryan Mountcastle (illness) landing on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Kolozsvary will serve as Mountcastle's roster replacement. The 27-year-old backstop hasn't had much success at the plate in Triple-A, slashing just .162/.250/.265 through 76 plate appearances. He will presumably serve as a bench piece while in the majors.

Vazquez is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

Vazquez will take a seat after he went 0-for-7 with two strikeouts while starting twice during the Twins' three-game series with Toronto. Ryan Jeffers will draw the start behind the plate and bat sixth in the series opener with Milwaukee.

Jansen (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jansen has been on the shelf since late May with a left groin strain but is ready to roll following a couple rehab games. He had been catching more than Alejandro Kirk before getting injured but might be eased back into things.

Toronto optioned Heineman to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Danny Jansen (groin) is back from the injured list, so Heineman's presence was no longer needed. The 31-year-old catcher has gone 4-for-19 (.211) with one extra-base hit in nine major-league games this season between Pirates and Blue Jays.

Trevino is absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

He's now been on the bench for two of the last three contests in favor of Kyle Higashioka. Trevino hasn't had an extra-base hit since May 1.

Wong isn't starting Tuesday against the Rockies, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

After going 2-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's contest, Wong will get a day off Tuesday. Reese McGuire will take over behind the plate and bat eighth.

Perez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Reds.

Perez seems to be getting back on track with multiple hits, including a homer, in each of his last two games. Prior to his recent success, his last long ball came May 27. The catcher is slashing .275/.310/.513 with 14 homers, 37 RBI, 31 runs scored and 14 doubles through 60 contests as a fixture in the lineup. He's hit second in the last four games after batting third or fourth for much of the season.

Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a three-run double and a run in a win over the Rays on Monday.

The young backstop set the table for the Athletics' season-high sixth straight win with his timely fifth-inning, base-loaded two-bagger, which snapped a scoreless tie. Langeliers has now reached safely in eight straight games, a stretch during which he sports a .280 average and .899 OPS across 29 plate appearances.

Wallach went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run during Monday's victory over the Rangers.

Wallach didn't start the game but entered in the 10th inning as a defensive replacement. He got his first at-bat in the 12th and took advantage, smashing a two-run home run to extend the Angels' lead to 9-5. With Max Stassi (personal) and Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) unavailable, Wallach continues to serve as the primary backup to Matt Thaiss and has seen sporadic playing time, slashing .273/.324/.515 with five home runs and 10 RBI across 27 games (71 plate appearances).

Murphy went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in an 8-1 win over the Marlins on Monday.

Drawing his second start in three games with left-hander Jesus Luzardo on the mound for the Marlins, Murphy continued the extra-base-hit barrage that's been his trademark during his sparse opportunities this season. The veteran's eighth double of the season came off Luzardo, while his 408-foot shot to center in the eighth provided the final run of the game for either club. Ten of Murphy's 17 hits on the season have gone for extra bases, and his current .233 average represents his highest figure in the category since May 20.
