Ramirez (undisclosed) started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Single-A Columbia's 9-6 win over Fredericksburg on Tuesday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Though he handled a non-defensive role in his first game with Columbia since May 31, Ramirez made five starts at catcher during his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, so he appears to have made a full recovery from the injury that kept him on the shelf for nearly two months. For the season, Ramirez is slashing .252/.367/.466 with nine home runs and five stolen bases in 45 games for Columbia.

Kirk (concussion) is tentatively on track to play a rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday before being activated from the 7-day injured list Sunday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Kirk was diagnosed with a concussion after taking a foul tip off the mask in a game this past weekend. However, he has recovered well since then, and as long as he keeps progressing well, he'll be in line for a minimum-length absence. Tyler Heineman has been handling the primary catching duties for the Blue Jays since Kirk went down.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

He will rest for just the third time in 12 games since the All-Star break while Connor Wong receives a start behind the dish. Narvaez has gotten off to a slow start to the second half, going just 5-for-35 (.143 average) with one home run, two RBI and three runs.

Dingler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Dingler will receive a rest after he was behind the plate for each of Detroit's last three games while going 7-for-13 with one home run, four runs and five RBI. Jake Rogers will form a battery with starting pitcher Chris Paddack on Wednesday in the latter's Detroit debut.

Heineman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Heineman will get a breather for Wednesday's matinee after he went 3-for-3 while starting behind the plate in the Blue Jays' 3-2 loss Tuesday night in the second game of a doubleheader. Ali Sanchez will get the nod at catcher Wednesday, but Heineman is expected to see the bulk of the starts while top backstop Alejandro Kirk (concussion) is on the shelf.

The Orioles signed Reetz to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Reetz had been with Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization, where he slashed .197/.287/.470 with 11 home runs in 43 games before being released earlier this month. The 29-year-old will give the Orioles some experienced catching depth at Triple-A Norfolk.

Heineman went 3-for-3 with a walk in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

After going 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in the matinee, Heineman started the nightcap and kept the line moving from the eighth spot in the batting order. The 34-year-old backstop is handling starting duties for Toronto while Alejandro Kirk (concussion) is sidelined, and at least within this window, Heineman will have fantasy appeal in two-catcher formats -- he's gone 6-for-17 (.353) since the All-Star break, and on the season he is slashing a remarkable .343/.405/.520 over 119 plate appearances.

Higashioka went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Angels.

Making his return from a five-game absence with a hamstring strain, Higashioka enjoyed the sixth multi-homer game of his career and his first such effort of the season. The veteran catcher is certainly pushing for more playing time, whether it behind the plate or as the designated hitter, with a red-hot stretch of hitting during the month of July. Over his last 14 games (51 at-bats), Higashioka is hitting .392 with five homers, two doubles and 11 RBI.

Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Mariners.

Langeliers has homered four times over his last five games, giving him 18 long balls on the year. He's flipped a switch since the All-Star break, batting .391 (18-for-46) across his last 12 contests while racking up 12 RBI in that span. The catcher is up to a .253/.308/.495 slash line through 78 games this season and should continue to handle a majority of the work behind the dish for the Athletics.

O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe has collected a base hit in seven of his eight games since the start of the second half, but he'll watch the beginning of Tuesday's game from the dugout while Travis d'Arnaud starts at catcher.
