  • Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Goes deep again Wednesday

    D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 11-8 victory against the Rangers.

    D'Arnaud's long ball was a solo shot in the fourth inning that tied the game 5-5. The veteran backstop has homered in each of his past two games, going 4-for-8 with four RBI over that stretch. While Logan O'Hoppe remains the Angels' primary catcher, he's recorded a 0:16 BB:K and .205 batting average over his past 10 games, so d'Arnaud could log a bit more playing time if the Angels opt to give O'Hoppe some time to reset. As it is, d'Arnaud has started over O'Hoppe in two of the team's past three contests.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Pair of XBH in win

    Narvaez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Rockies.

    Narvaez swatted his eighth home run of the campaign, tagging Antonio Senzatela for a solo homer in the second inning to get the Red Sox on the scoreboard. The catcher has now logged multiple hits in six of his last 12 games, going 15-for-47 (.319) with two homers and three doubles during that stretch.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Clubs pair of homers

    Perez went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

    Perez notched his second multi-homer game of 2025, taking Bailey Falter yard in the fourth inning and tagging Isaac Mattson for a solo shot in the eighth. The 35-year-old catcher has now homered in three of his last four games, bringing his season total up to 13 round trippers. In July, Perez has gone 13-for-35 (.371) with 11 RBI.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Sitting out Wednesday

    O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Texas, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    O'Hoppe will take a seat on the bench for the second time this series after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout Tuesday. Travis d'Arnaud will fill in at catcher and bat eighth.

  • Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Not ready for baseball activities

    Orioles manager Tony Mansolino said Sunday that Tromp (back) hasn't been cleared to resume baseball activities, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Tromp is one of four Orioles catchers on the 40-man roster who resides on the injured list. Like Tromp, Maverick Handley (concussion) and Gary Sanchez (knee) are also shut down from activities, while Adley Rutschman (oblique) has resumed running and taking swings off a tee but still appears to be weeks away from a return. The Orioles appear set to get by with Jacob Stallings and Alex Jackson as their catching tandem through the All-Star break, and likely to begin the second half.

  • Orioles' Maverick Handley: Not ready for baseball activities

    Orioles manager Tony Mansolino said Sunday that Handley (concussion) hasn't been cleared to resume baseball activities, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Handley is one of four Orioles catchers on the 40-man roster who resides on the injured list. Like Handley, Chadwick Tromp (back) and Gary Sanchez (knee) are also shut down from activities, while Adley Rutschman (oblique) has resumed running and taking swings off a tee but still appears to be weeks away from a return. The Orioles appear set to get by with Jacob Stallings and Alex Jackson as their catching tandem through the All-Star break, and likely to begin the second half.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Hits off tee Wednesday

    Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Rutschman (oblique) hit off a tee Wednesday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    He was not swinging at full effort, but it's a step beyond the dry swings Rutschman took Tuesday. Rutschman will continue to go through a hitting progression as he works his way back from a strained left oblique. A clearer picture of his timeline to return from the 10-day injured list should be available later this month.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Getting breather

    Dingler is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rays.

    Dingler had started at catcher in each of the Tigers' previous three games, so he'll be given some rest Wednesday. Jake Rogers will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth as Detroit goes for the sweep.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Idle against lefty

    Teel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    The left-handed-hitting Teel started behind the plate in both of the White Sox's previous two contests but will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee while the Blue Jays send lefty Eric Lauer to the bump. Edgar Quero will draw the start at catcher in the series finale.

  • Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Drawing start for day game

    Heineman will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    With top backstop Alejandro Kirk resting for the matinee contest, Heineman will get the nod behind the plate. Since being activated from the 7-day injured list June 3, Heineman has started 11 games and has gone 7-for-29 (.241 average) with one home run, six RBI and eight runs.
