Rutschman isn't starting Thursday against the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Rutschman is resting after he went 1-for-8 with a strikeout over the last two games. Robinson Chirinos will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Hedges isn't in the lineup Thursday against Oakland.

Hedges went 1-for-8 with an RBI and a strikeout over his last two games and will be out of the lineup Thursday for the fourth time in the last six matchups. Luke Maile will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

Raleigh uncorked his seventh long ball of the season at a particularly timely juncture, as his 386-foot blast to right center in the fourth inning with Abraham Toro aboard knotted the game at 3-3. The young backstop still carries an abysmal .167 average and .232 on-base percentage for the season, but he's now left the yard three times in his last six games while producing a .300/.333/.800 slash line in that sample of 21 plate appearances.

Murphy went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to Atlanta on Wednesday.

Murphy's fourth-inning knock plated Stephen Vogt with what would turn out to be the second and final run of the night for Oakland. The struggling backstop, who'd snapped a brief four-game, 0-for-14 skid Tuesday, is still carrying just a .202/.276/.367 slash line with a 26.7 percent strikeout rate on the season.

Sanchez and the Twins agreed to a one-year, $9 million contract Thursday to avoid arbitration, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Sanchez made $6.35 million with the Yankees last year, and he'll get a fairly hefty pay raise during his first year with the Twins. The 29-year-old has received regular playing time over his first two months in Minnesota, and he's slashed .224/.282/.435 with seven home runs, 27 RBI, 16 runs and a stolen base over 44 games.

Collins went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Royals.

Making his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Collins took Brady Singer deep in the third inning for his fourth homer in only 73 big-league plate appearances this season. The 27-year-old's .212/.288/.455 slash line is less impressive, however, and playing time could be hard for him to come by with top prospect Gabriel Moreno also set to join the Blue Jays this weekend -- assuming Collins isn't the player optioned back down to make room.

Moreno is joining the Blue Jays for the upcoming three-game series at Detroit which begins Friday, and he's expected to be officially added to the active roster at some point this weekend, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

The 22-year-old is poised to receive his first taste of the big leagues this weekend after Danny Jansen landed on the injured list Tuesday with a fractured bone in his left hand. Fellow catchers Alejandro Kirk and Zack Collins are already on the MLB roster, but Moreno, who is one of the top prospects in baseball, will be called up and should receive regular opportunities behind the plate. Moreno has only one home run through 35 games with Triple-A Buffalo this season, but he still has a strong .323/.377/.406 slash line.

Stassi is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Stassi is 1-for-7 with a double, a walk and an RBI through the first two games of the series and will received Wednesday off. Kurt Suzuki will work behind the dish and bat eighth.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Sanchez will receive some routine maintenance after he was included in the lineup in five of the Twins' last six games as either a catcher or designated hitter. Ryan Jeffers will get the nod behind the plate Wednesday, while the Twins ease shortstop Carlos Correa (illness) back in as their DH in his first game back from the COVID-19-related injured list.

McGuire is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

McGuire will head to the bench after he went 7-for-25 with two runs and two RBI while starting at catcher or designated hitter in seven of the White Sox's last eight games. Yasmani Grandal remains Chicago's No. 1 catcher and will be back behind the plate Wednesday, but McGuire should continue to see more usage than most backup backstops around the league.
