Wells isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

The lefty-hitting Wells will get a breather Saturday while the lefty-throwing Framber Valdez takes the mound for the Astros. Ben Rice will start behind the plate and bat fifth.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rays.

With the Mariners down 2-0 in the eighth inning, Raleigh got hold of a Griffin Jax sweeper and launched it to right-center field for the game-winning homer. It was Raleigh's 43rd long ball of the year, as he marches closer to toppling Salvador Perez's MLB record of 48 homers in a season set in 2021. Raleigh's overall offensive output has slipped since the All-Star break, however, and over his last 20 games he is slashing .198/.253/.383 with 11 RBI.

Rutschman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

Rutschman put the Orioles on the board with a two-run blast in the first inning, his first homer since returning from the injured list July 28. The 27-year-old has been sharp in 10 games since his return, hitting safely in nine of them with eight extra-base hits, seven RBI and six runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .240/.325/.401 with nine homers, 27 RBI and 37 runs scored across 317 plate appearances.

Narvaez (knee) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Knee soreness prevented Narvaez from starting Wednesday's game, and he'll remain on the bench Friday despite receiving two consecutive rest days. Connor Wong will pick up another start behind the plate as a result and bat ninth. Per Healey, Narvaez expects to be back in the next day or two.

Handley (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Handley hasn't seen game action since June 22 due to a concussion and, more recently, a sprained right wrist. However, he's getting close to making a return, as he's set to see some game action this weekend. It's unclear how long of an assignment he'll require.

The Twins recalled Pereda from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Pereda will step in for Christian Vazquez (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, to provide catching depth behind Ryan Jeffers. Since being claimed off waivers July 22, Pereda has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with a homer, two doubles and a triple for St. Paul.

The Twins placed Vazquez on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left shoulder infection.

The issue is with his non-throwing shoulder, but it will still require a stint on the injured list. The 34-year-old Vazquez will be eligible to return for the start of a three-game homestand against the Athletics which begins Aug. 19. Until then, Jhonny Pereda and Mickey Gasper will provide catching depth behind Ryan Jeffers.

The Red Sox claimed Sanchez off waivers Friday.

Sanchez will provide some catching depth after being designated for assignment by Toronto on Tuesday. Carlos Narvaez is currently tending to knee soreness, and Sanchez could see action if Boston's starter is forced to miss time. Per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the Red Sox plan to have Sanchez join the rest of the team in San Diego as part of the 26-man roster.

Teel is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Seattle.

Teel will get a breather after starting each of the last four games (three at catcher, one at designated hitter). Edgar Quero will handle the catching and will bat seventh for the White Sox in Thursday's matinee.

Narvaez is absent from Wednesday's lineup versus the Royals due to knee soreness, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Narvaez looked gimpy while running out a grounder in Tuesday's 6-2 win, although he wasn't forced out of the contest. He was still sporting a limp prior to Wednesday's game, but the hope is he will be ready to play Friday in San Diego, per Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. Connor Wong will be behind the dish for the Red Sox on Wednesday.
