  • Curt Casali C | ATL

    Mariners' Curt Casali: Activated by Mariners

    Casali was reinstated from the paternity list Monday.

    Casali was away from the Mariners for their weekend series against the Athletics following the birth of his child, but he'll rejoin the active roster prior to the three-game series against the Tigers to close out the regular season. Brian O'Keefe was sent down to make room for Casali on the active roster.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Athletics' Sean Murphy: Returns to lineup Monday

    Murphy (illness) is starting Monday against the Angels.

    Murphy sat out Sunday's series finale against the Mariners due to an illness, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat third a day later. Over his last four games, he's gone 0-for-11 with two walks and four strikeouts.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Heads to bench Monday

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Gary Sanchez will get a turn behind the plate while Jeffers rests after he started at catcher in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Tigers. Since coming off the injured list last week, Jeffers has gone 3-for-15 with a triple, a walk, two RBI and two runs in his first five games back in action.

  • White Sox's Yasmani Grandal: Not starting Monday

    Grandal isn't in the lineup Monday against the Twins.

    Grandal's playing time has decreased recently, and he'll be on the bench for the third time in the last four games. Carlos Perez is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Retreats to bench Monday

    Jansen isn't starting Monday against the Orioles.

    Jansen is getting a breather after he went 6-for-14 with two home runs, two doubles, six RBI and four runs over the last four games. Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher and bat cleanup.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Sitting Monday

    Trevino isn't starting Monday against the Rangers.

    Trevino has gone 0-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts over his last two games, and he'll head to the bench for the fourth time in the last six matchups. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

  • Rays' Francisco Mejia: Makes start at DH

    Mejia will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Mejia will pick up his fourth start in five games, this time in a non-defensive role after he worked behind the plate Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Though he's seen an uptick in work of late, Mejia owns a pedestrian .596 OPS since the start of September and still looks to be the Rays' No. 2 option at catcher behind Christian Bethancourt.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Remains on bench

    Perez (thumb) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    Perez's sore left thumb will keep him on the bench for the second day in a row, but the Royals haven't yet placed him on the injured list and presumably remain hopeful that he might be able to start in either of the remaining two games on the team's 2022 schedule. MJ Melendez will get a turn behind the dish Monday in Perez's stead.

  • Eric Haase C | SF

    Tigers' Eric Haase: Goes deep again Sunday

    Haase went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two total RBI in Sunday's win over the Twins.

    After going deep Saturday, Haase hit another home run Sunday, pushing him to 14 long balls this season. He seems unlikely to match last year's 22 home runs, though his .257 batting average and .757 OPS are both improvements on his 2021 figures. After two solid seasons, Haase should head into 2023 with a fairly solid role in Detroit, likely as the team's top catcher.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Crushes two homers

    Langeliers went 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and a walk in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Mariners.

    Langeliers provided the Athletics' first and last scoring plays in the game. He hit a solo shot in the fourth inning and a three-run blast in the ninth. The catcher went yard three times in as many games in this weekend series versus the Mariners while snapping his 20-game power drought Friday. He's up to six long balls, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored and a .222/.246/.444 slash line through 37 contests in his major-league career.
