  • Gary Sanchez C | MIL

    Twins' Gary Sanchez: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Sanchez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rays.

    Sanchez is hitting .125 with one home run and nine strikeouts in nine games this month. Luis Arraez is in at designated hitter while Ryan Jeffers starts behind the dish.

  • Astros' Martin Maldonado: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Maldonado is not in Sunday's lineup against the Marlins.

    Maldonado is hitting .259 with one home run and eight strikeouts in eight games this month. Jason Castro is starting behind the dish and hitting eighth.

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Scratched from Sunday's lineup

    Trevino was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cubs.

    This may just be a case of a catcher getting the day game off after Trevino started Saturday night's contest. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the dish and hit eighth.

  • Eric Haase C | SF

    Tigers' Eric Haase: Productive day at the plate

    Haase went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI triple and a run scored in Saturday's victory over Toronto.

    Haase had arguably his best game of the season Saturday against the Jays, sending Javier Baez home on a triple and later scoring on a Victor Reyes single. It's been a disappointing season for the catcher, but he now has at least one hit in three of five June games and has raised his batting average to .186.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Keeps rolling at plate

    Trevino went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-0 victory against the Cubs on Saturday.

    The Yankees hounded Cubs rookie starter Matt Swarmer with six solo homers in the win, and Trevino was responsible for one of those with his blast to left field in the fifth inning. The backstop was the only player to collect three hits in the contest, marking his fourth multi-hit performance over his past nine games. Over that stretch, Trevino is slashing a robust .520/.556/.960 with three homers, eight RBI and seven runs.

  • Athletics' Christian Bethancourt: Offensive explosion in win

    Bethancourt went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an RBI single and an additional run scored in Saturday's victory over the Guardians.

    Bethancourt kicked off Saturday's game with an RBI single that sent Tony Kemp home. The first baseman later scored on a Seth Brown homer and picked up a solo shot of his own in the top of the ninth inning. Bethancourt went homerless through May, but he has three since the start of June. He's certainly picked things up this month with a hit in five of his last seven games to the tune of a .391 June batting average.

  • Seby Zavala C | LAD

    White Sox's Seby Zavala: Joining big-league roster

    Zavala is traveling to Chicago on Saturday and is expected to join the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Rangers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Zavala was outrighted off the roster prior to Opening Day, but he'll be needed again with Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) unavailable for at least Sunday's contest. If Grandal's injury sends him to the injured list, Zavala will be his direct replacement on the roster, but the White Sox still intend to call up Zavala temporarily even if Grandal only has to miss a day or two, as the team doesn't want to go into a game with Reese McGuire as the only healthy catcher.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: First career three-hit game

    Rutschman went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

    This was Rutschman's first three-hit game in his young career, as well as his first contest with multiple extra-base hits. The 24-year-old catcher is 5-for-24 in seven games in June as he's struggled to adjust to major-league pitching. He's at a .190/.261/.286 slash line with seven runs scored, but he's still in search of his first home run and RBI 17 games into his career.

  • White Sox's Yasmani Grandal: Unavailable Sunday

    Grandal (hamstring) won't be available Sunday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

    Grandal left Saturday's game against the Rangers after injuring his left hamstring while running to first base. It's not yet clear whether he'll require a trip to the injured list, but the White Sox are expected to add a catcher to the active roster Sunday to avoid going into the series finale with only Reese McGuire available behind the plate.

  • White Sox's Yasmani Grandal: Out with hamstring injury

    Grandal exited Saturday's game against the Rangers with left hamstring tightness.

    He went 2-for-2 before suffering the injury while running to first base on his second hit of the day. Reese McGuire will be the primary catcher while Grandal is sidelined.
