Teel left Monday's game against Texas due to a left ankle injury.

It's unclear at this time whether Teel will require a stint on the injured list, though the team stated that he'll be sent for further evaluation. Drew Romo would be the favorite to start at catcher Tuesday if Teel can't go.

Teel was removed from Monday's game against the Rangers after suffering an apparent left leg injury, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Teel needed help getting off the field after attempting to make a tag at the plate in the bottom of the second inning, and he was spotted heading straight to the clubhouse, presumably for further evaluation. Drew Romo entered the game in Teel's place and could be in line for more opportunities behind the dish if Teel requires a trip to the injured list.

The Orioles selected Tromp's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Tromp will be up with the Orioles for the second time this season after fellow catcher Adley Rutschman (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Samuel Basallo (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Monday's series opener in Boston, making Tromp and Sam Huff the Orioles' only healthy catchers for the time being.

Feduccia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-handed-hitting Feduccia was held out of the starting nine against left-handed pitchers on two occasions during the Rays' four-game series with the Red Sox over the weekend, but the backstop will hit the bench Monday while right-hander Dylan Cease toes the rubber for the Blue Jays. Nick Fortes will handle catching duties in the series opener.

Higashioka is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Higashioka will get some rest after starting at catcher each of the last two days. Elias Diaz will be behind the dish for the Rangers in Monday's series opener.

The Orioles placed Rutschman on the 10-day injured list Monday due to left wrist inflammation.

Rutschman will head to the IL for the third time this season, after he was previously deactivated in April due to left ankle inflammation and in June due to a concussion. With Samuel Basallo (shoulder) also day-to-day, the Orioles called up Sam Huff from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday and Chadwick Tromp from Norfolk on Monday to provide some insurance behind the plate. Rutschman will be eligible to return from the shelf July 29.

Basallo (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Southpaw Payton Tolle is on the mound for Boston, so the left-handed-hitting Basallo's absence from the lineup doesn't come as a major surprise, especially after the young backstop exited Sunday's 5-2 win over the Astros in the second inning due to right shoulder discomfort. Adley Rutschman (wrist) is also receiving a second straight game off, so the Orioles will go with third-string catcher Sam Huff behind the dish Monday.

Rutschman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox due to a left wrist injury, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Rutschman was excluded from the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the Astros in what initially appeared to be a routine maintenance day, but Orioles manager Craig Albernaz disclosed following the 5-2 win that the veteran backstop was dealing with wrist discomfort, per Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. Samuel Basallo (shoulder) will also get the night off after exiting Sunday's game early, so the Orioles will hand Sam Huff a start behind the plate for the series opener in Boston. The Orioles appear to be viewing Rutschman as day-to-day.

Gray, who had surgery to remove a bone chip in his right elbow, has gone 1-for-8 through three rehab games in the Florida Complex League.

Per Ian Cundall of Baseball America, Gray should be back in action for Single-A Charleston before the end of the month. Prior to the midseason surgery, Gray slashed .286/.406/.474 with six home runs, four steals, a 21.9 percent strikeout rate and a 16.1 percent walk rate in 49 games. He received just under $1 million when the Rays selected him in the third round in 2025 and won't turn 19 until mid-August.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Connor Wong will draw a second straight start behind the dish while Narvaez remains on the bench for the series opener. Narvaez started twice in the Red Sox's four-game series versus the Rays over the weekend, going 3-for-6 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run.
