  • Astros' Victor Caratini: Out of lineup Tuesday

    Caratini is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Phillies.

    Caratini has played more often than not since Yordan Alvarez (hand) was injured, rotating between designated hitter, catcher and occasionally first base. He'll take a seat Tuesday, though, as Jose Altuve serves as the Astros' DH and Yainer Diaz does the catching.

  • Rangers' Malcolm Moore: Back in action for High-A

    High-A Hub City reinstated Moore (finger) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Moore was cleared to start at catcher and bat third for Hub City on Tuesday versus Aberdeen in his first game at the High-A level since April 15. After missing more than two months with a broken finger on his right hand, Moore headed to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 16 and went 2-for-14 with a home run, a stolen base and six walks in five rehab games before getting the green light to rejoin Hub City.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Records long-awaited first RBI

    Wong went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

    Wong's fourth-inning sacrifice fly plated Boston's fourth run and produced the catcher's first RBI of the season in his 29th game. Monday's start was the second in three games for Wong, who's lost the starting job to Carlos Narvaez and is batting .157 (11-for-70) with a .416 OPS.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Tossed from series opener

    Quero was ejected from Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports. He went 1-for-3 with a double before exiting.

    Quero struck out looking in the bottom of the sixth inning and had some words for the umpire afterward, resulting in his removal from the matchup. Despite an early exit, he managed to pick up his first base knock since Tuesday and his first extra-base hit since May 26.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Resting Monday

    Narvaez is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Angels on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Narvaez will take a seat after going 2-for-10 with one double and five strikeouts in two starts during the Red Sox's three-game weekend road series against the Giants. Connor Wong will serve behind home plate and bat eighth.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Day off Monday

    O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    It appears to be a routine day off for O'Hoppe, who started at catcher in each of the previous two contests. Travis d'Arnaud will be behind the dish and bat fifth for the Halos in the series opener.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Resting Monday

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Jeffers will get a break in the series opener after he started each of the previous four days, with three of those starts coming at catcher. Christian Vazquez will replace Jeffers behind the plate Monday.

  • Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Added to roster

    The Orioles selected Tromp's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. He'll start at catcher and bat ninth in the Orioles' series opener versus the Rangers.

    With Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Maverick Handley (concussion) on the injured list, Tromp will serve as the Orioles' backup catcher behind Gary Sanchez. Tromp is a career .219/.229/.375 hitter over parts of six major-league seasons.

  • Orioles' Maverick Handley: Lands on concussion injured list

    The Orioles placed Handley on the 7-day injured list Monday due to a concussion.

    Handley was injured during a violent collision with the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm during Sunday's 4-2 loss. While Handley will be eligible to return in a week, the Orioles aren't providing a timetable for the 27-year-old's activation, given the unpredictability of concussions. Adley Rutschman (oblique) also remains on the IL, so the Orioles will go with Gary Sanchez and Chadwick Tromp as their options at catcher.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Getting power stroke back

    O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in a loss to Houston.

    O'Hoppe broke a scoreless tie with a two-run shot to left field in the fourth inning, notching his third long ball of the weekend. Prior to Saturday, the backstop endured a 19-game homer drought, but he's still second among all big-league catchers with 17 home runs on the season. O'Hoppe has added 37 RBI, 25 runs and a .233/.268/.471 slash line through 239 plate appearances.
