  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Rangers' Mitch Garver: Takes swings

    Garver (knee) took swings at Globe Life Field during pregame Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Garver recently had his recovery timetable extended but is still able to work out as he rehabs a left knee injury. He is not expected back until at least late May.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Hits third homer

    Trevino went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to Cleveland.

    Trevino opened the scoring in the contest with a 425-foot solo shot off Cal Quantrill. It was the catcher's third long ball of the season and his second in three games. Trevino has a modest .242/.266/.419 slash line on the season, but he's been swinging well of late, slashing .333/.333/.667 with a pair of homers and two RBI over his past five contests.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Gets Monday off

    Kirk is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Even though he produced five hits over his two starts this past weekend against the Mariners, Kirk will end up sitting for the second time in three days. Kirk still appears to be the Blue Jays' nominal No. 1 catcher, but Toronto remains incentivized to keep backup Danny Jansen involved due to Jansen's superior work on the defensive end.

  • David Fry C | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Added to roster

    The Guardians selected Fry's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    Fry, 27, has hit .289/.381/.478 with two homers for Columbus this season. He's played first base, third base and second base this season and also has past experience at catcher. Fry will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Gives way to McGuire on Monday

    Wong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    After catching in both of the Red Sox's past two games, Wong will get a breather for the series opener. Reese McGuire will form a battery with starting pitcher Corey Kluber on Monday.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Belts pair of homers Sunday

    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs, a walk and an additional run in an extra-inning win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

    Raleigh was the most impactful contributor on a prolific afternoon for the Mariners offense. The hard-hitting backstop's pair of round trippers both came at critical times as well, with his eighth-inning shot to right center plating Jarred Kelenic to bring Seattle within a run and his 408-foot blast to right in the 10th snapping an 8-8 tie and eventually proving to be the game-winning hit. Raleigh pushed his OPS over the .800 threshold (.801) with Sunday's power breakout, and he now has eight RBI in the last nine contests.

  • White Sox's Yasmani Grandal: Slugs homer in win

    Grandal went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-9 victory over the Rays.

    Grandal sent a blast to straightaway center in the sixth inning to put the White Sox back in front 3-2. He also reached after being hit by a pitch and later scored as part of a seven-run ninth inning. It was his third long ball of the year, and he's well on his way to surpassing last year's total of only five home runs. The 34-year-old is now slashing .241/.323/.446 with 11 extra base hits, nine RBI, eight runs, and an 8:22 BB:K over 93 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Christian Bethancourt: Swats late home run

    Bethancourt went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two RBI in Sunday's 12-9 loss to the White Sox.

    Bethancourt was quieted at the plate until taking Kendall Graveman deep in the eighth for his fifth home run of the season. The 31-year-old plated his second run of the game the following inning on a sacrifice fly. Bethancourt had a career-high 11 home runs, 34 RBI and 39 runs scored a season ago and seems well on his way to surpassing those marks barring any sort of injury. He's now slashing .250/.303/.567 with nine extra base hits, 11 RBI, 12 runs and a 5:17 BB:K over 66 plate appearances.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Goes long in blowout win

    Heim went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 15-2 win over the Yankees.

    Heim pulverized Yankees pitching Sunday. He kicked things off with a double in the fourth and followed that up with a solo blast to right center in the fifth. The 28-year-old came back up with the bases loaded in the sixth and plated two with another double. It has been a dream start to the season for Heim, who's now slashing .303/.386/.592 with five homers, 22 RBI, 16 runs and a 10:14 BB:K over 88 plate appearances. He leads all catchers and is now tied for sixth in the majors with 22 RBI.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Hits first homer in win

    Wong went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

    Wong led off the fifth inning with a base hit, eventually coming around to score on Alex Verdugo's base hit to open the scoring. Wong would later extend Boston's lead to 4-1 with a two-run, 427-foot homer, his first of the season, in the sixth inning off Nick Sandlin. The 27-year-old Wong has gone 5-for-8 in his last two games against Cleveland. He's now slashing .241/.313/.362 with eight RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base through his first 65 plate appearances this season while splitting catching duties with Reese McGuire.
