  • White Sox's Reese McGuire: Remains on bench

    McGuire isn't starting Saturday against Houston.

    McGuire will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive matchup after he went 4-for-12 with two doubles, four runs, a walk and three strikeouts over his last four games. Seby Zavala will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

  • Tigers' Tucker Barnhart: On bench Saturday

    Barnhart isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Barnhart went 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's loss to Texas, and he'll retreat to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Eric Haase is starting behind the dish and batting cleanup.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Day off Saturday

    Heim isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Tigers.

    Heim drew starts in the last three games and went 3-for-12 with a homer, a double, three RBI, a run and two strikeouts. Sam Huff will take over behind the plate and bat sixth.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: On bench Saturday

    Rutschman isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Rutschman will get a breather Saturday after he went 5-for-11 with a homer, two doubles, four RBI, three runs and a walk over the last three games. Robinson Chirinos is starting behind the plate and batting seventh.

  • Blue Jays' Gabriel Moreno: Riding pine Saturday

    Moreno isn't starting Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Moreno started in the last two games and went 4-for-8 with two RBI. Alejandro Kirk is starting behind the dish while Cavan Biggio enters the lineup at first base Saturday.

  • Blue Jays' Gabriel Moreno: Three more hits Friday

    Moreno went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 12-3 loss to the Yankees.

    The Blue Jays' offense couldn't get much going aside from the team's rookie backstop, as Moreno accounted for three of Toronto's five hits on the night. The 22-year-old is 8-for-19 (.421) through the first five games of his big-league career, and so far he's only struck out once. Moreno is quickly making a strong case that he's not only the franchise's catcher of the future, but of the present as well.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Swats sixth homer

    Kirk went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 12-3 loss to the Yankees.

    He took Jordan Montgomery deep in the sixth inning, but the Blue Jays were already in a 10-1 hole at that point. Kirk is slashing .354/.446/.604 through 14 games in June with three of his six homers on the season, and he should continue to see regular playing time between DH and catcher as long as he's raking.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Sends three home in win

    Heim went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, three total RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Tigers.

    Heim doubled home Adolis Garcia and Corey Seager in the top of the first inning, then later scored on a solo shot in the fifth. The homer was Heim's eighth of the season. Friday's outing was the catcher's third game with three or more RBI this year. Heim has been impressive in June, picking up 11 hits in 12 games. He is slashing .250/.306/.462 for the season.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Productive in win

    Perez went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 5-1 win over the Athletics.

    Perez opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning, then went yard in the third. With six multi-hit efforts in his last 13 games, the catcher has worked his way out of a slump that weighed him down in late May. He's gone 16-for-51 (.314) in that 13-game span. Perez is up to 10 homers, 32 RBI, 24 runs scored, 13 doubles and a .214/.253/.429 slash line across 53 contests overall.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Clubs eighth homer

    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-1 win over the Angels.

    Raleigh's second-inning homer was ultimately all the Mariners needed to get the win Friday. The catcher is now 11-for-45 (.244) with four homers, nine RBI and six runs through 13 games in June as he maintains the starting role behind the dish. He's up to a .180/.252/.432 slash line with eight homers, 18 RBI, 13 runs and four doubles across 123 plate appearances overall.
