    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Rests for second game of twin bill

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Red Sox.

    Jeffers will rest for the second game of the day after he played all eight innings behind the plate in the Twins' 8-1 loss earlier Sunday while going hitless in four at-bats. Christian Vazquez will draw the start at catcher in the nightcap.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Takes seat Sunday

    Naylor is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

    Naylor drew the start in the first two games of this weekend's series, going 2-for-8 with a solo home run and another run scored. Austin Hedges will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Kirk is not in the lineup for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.

    Kirk caught the first two games of the series but will get a breather for Sunday's finale. Tyler Heineman is behind the plate as the Blue Jays try to avoid a sweep.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Triples, drives in two Saturday

    Dingler went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4, 10-inning win over the Orioles.

    Dingler snapped an 0-for-9 slump that spanned his last three appearances and recorded the second triple of his rookie season. The 25-year-old catcher has mostly struggled in his debut campaign, slashing .143/.175/.286 across 24 games, but he still should figure into Detroit's future plans behind the plate.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Not in lineup for first game

    Wong is absent from the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Danny Jansen will do the catching for the Red Sox in the first game of the twin bill. Wong is likely to be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: On base three times Saturday

    Raleigh went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

    Raleigh authored one of five multi-hit efforts on the night for the Mariners while achieving the feat for the sixth time in September. The 27-year-old backstop has already reached the 30-home-run threshold for the second straight season despite currently being mired in a nine-game power drought, and he's carrying a .265 average and .829 OPS across 18 games thus far in September as the Mariners continue pushing for a wild-card spot.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Swats 20th long ball

    O'Hoppe went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles and two total runs in Saturday's loss to the Astros.

    Though the Angels were blown out, O'Hoppe had an impressive effort at the plate, recording his third game of at least four hits this season. This was the first time he's posted three extra-base knocks in a contest, and among his hits was a solo shot in the fourth inning that marked his 20th homer of the campaign. Among catchers, only Cal Raleigh, Shea Langeliers, Salvador Perez and William Contreras have hit more home runs than O'Hoppe this season.

  • Astros' Victor Caratini: Drives in three runs Saturday

    Caratini went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk against the Angels in Saturday's 10-4 victory.

    Caratini blew the game open for Houston in the third inning, belting a three-run shot off Angels starter Reid Detmers to increase the Astros' lead to 6-1. It was the third straight start for Caratini, who played first base Saturday after serving as Houston's catcher Thursday and Friday. Caratini is batting .289 (13-for-45) with five RBI through 15 games in September.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Not starting versus southpaw

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

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Getting rest Saturday

    Lee isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

    Lee's 2-for-4 performance in Friday's contest broke an 0-for-18 stretch at the plate, and he'll now get a chance to rest Saturday while Chuckie Robinson catches for Chris Flexen.
