  • Twins' Christian Vazquez: Sitting out Wednesday

    Vazquez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Vazquez appears to be receiving a routine day off after he started each of the past three games. Ryan Jeffers will catch for starting pitcher Joe Ryan on Wednesday.

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Out of lineup Wednesday

    Raleigh is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Raleigh takes a seat after going 2-for-5 with a two-run double in the 11-inning loss to the Brewers on Tuesday. Tom Murphy is starting behind the plate against southpaw Eric Lauer and the Brewers and will hit seventh.

  • Rays' Francisco Mejia: Four hits in win

    Mejia went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Reds.

    Mejia was locked in despite not playing in the Rays' last two games. The 27-year-old catcher has been solid in limited playing time, slashing .276/.353/.345 with four RBI and eight runs scored in 29 at-bats. Still, Mejia won't likely offer much value for fantasy purposes while splitting duties behind the plate with Christian Bethancourt.

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Drives in two runs

    Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored during Tuesday's 6-5 loss against Milwaukee.

    Raleigh delivered his fourth multi-hit effort of the season and also extended his on-base streak to six games. The 26-year-old has mostly hit out of the cleanup spot through the first few weeks of the season and has a .241/.333/.431 slash line with two home runs, five doubles, 12 RBI and seven runs in 16 games.

  • Eric Haase C | SF

    Tigers' Eric Haase: Four hits in matinee

    Haase went 4-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-3 win over the Guardians during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    All four hits were singles, but Haase won't complain after entering the contest with just seven hits in 36 at-bats this season. He upped his average from .194 to .275 with the big performance, then got a well-deserved rest in the nightcap. Jake Rogers has flashed some power in the early going, though Haase should remain the primary catcher in Detroit, and he can also play some in the outfield.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Sitting out Tuesday

    Langeliers isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

    Langeliers has been crushing the ball lately, slashing .350/.409/.750 with two homers and seven RBI over the past week. He gets a breather Tuesday as Carlos Perez takes over behind the plate and bats seventh.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Not starting Tuesday

    Heim isn't starting Tuesday against the Royals.

    Heim is 4-for-12 with two RBI and four walks over his last four games, earning him a day of rest Tuesday. Sandy Leon will take over behind the dish and bat ninth.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Majority of starts at catcher

    Soderstrom has played more games at catcher (eight) than first base (three) with Triple-A Las Vegas.

    He has been roughly league average (97 wRC+) in the early going, as a .267/.346/.511 slash line is par for the course in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. However, the fact the A's have continued to stress his development behind the dish is noteworthy, as most evaluators view him as the team's first baseman of the future.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Slugs second homer

    Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Brewers on Monday.

    Raleigh squared up on a Corbin Burnes changeup in the second inning and sent it 392 feet to right center for his second round tripper of the season. The blast extended the hard-hitting backstop's on-base streak to five games, and he's now laced six of his 12 hits on the season for extra bases.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Rangers' Mitch Garver: Needs four weeks off

    Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Monday that Garver (knee) will need about four weeks to recover, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    When asked if Garver would return Wednesday when eligible, Bochy provided a new timeline for the injury, which was originally described as a minor knee sprain. The longer-term recovery for Garver means he may not return until early May.
