Dingler went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

The two-hit night snapped a 1-for-21 skid at the plate for Dingler, as he rapped his fifth double of the season in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old is slashing .253/.337/.483 with five home runs, 19 RBI, 11 runs scored and a 7:16 BB:K across 100 plate appearances. His peripheral numbers suggest he should be experiencing even more success at the plate, as Dingler is in the 92nd percentile or better in xwOBA, xBA, xSLG, barrel rate and hard-hit percentage. He's also been one of the best defensive catchers this season.

Wells went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Wells launched a solo homer off Jalen Beeks in the seventh inning for his third long ball of the season and second in his last three games. After a rough start in which the catcher hit just .164 with two RBI over his first 21 contests, he has begun to find his rhythm, reaching base seven times over his last 12 plate appearances. Wells is now batting .200 on the year, but he has drawn 16 walks to just 15 strikeouts across 87 plate appearances.

Soderstrom was removed from Tuesday's game against the Royals with an apparent shoulder injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Soderstrom landed awkwardly on his right shoulder while trying to make a diving catch in the fifth inning and needed a minute to regroup afterward. The A's made the call to pull him in the sixth and will presumably send him in for testing to determine the severity of his injury. Colby Thomas and Carlos Cortes stand to benefit from extra playing time if Soderstrom has to miss any time.

Jensen is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Athletics.

Jensen had started the last six games for the Royals since he last sat April 19. In that span, he went 8-for-23 with a double, a home run and four RBI. As he rests Tuesday, Salvador Perez will start behind the plate while Isaac Collins serves as the designated hitter.

Quero is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

Quero is absent from the lineup for the second time in a three-game span. He went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a strikeout Monday. Drew Romo gets the start behind the plate Tuesday, batting eighth.

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

D'Arnaud started the last two games for the Angels after dealing with a foot injury that he suffered on a hit-by-pitch April 19. As he gets some rest Tuesday, Sebastian Rivero gets the start behind the dish, batting eighth.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mariners.

Jeffers started at catcher in each of the previous three games, so he'll get some rest Tuesday. Victor Caratini will do the catching and bat sixth for the Twins.

Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jays.

Narvaez clocked his second home in three games to extend a hit streak to six consecutive contests. During that run, the catcher is 7-for-20 with four extra-base hits, three RBI, one steal and three runs. The offensive push comes at a time when there was chatter about backup Connor Wong possibly grabbing more starts, but Narvaez remains the team's primary catcher, while Wong has gone 1-for-12 over his last four starts.

Jeffers went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's 11-4 victory over Seattle.

Jeffers contributed to the offensive outburst, driving in two runs with RBI singles in the third and eighth innings. Monday's performance marked his sixth multi-RBI game of the season, as he's swung a hot bat to begin 2026. Through 22 games, the 28-year-old is slashing .282/.414/.465 with six extra-base hits, 18 RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base.

O'Hoppe said Monday that the fracture in his left wrist is small and he believes he will return from the injured list in a "couple of weeks," Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

O'Hoppe sustained the injury Saturday against the Royals after taking a foul ball off his exposed left wrist. X-Rays revealed a small fracture, but the 26-year-old catcher sounded optimistic that his stint on the IL will be a short one. O'Hoppe would be back in the lineup by mid-May if that timeline holds, but in the meantime, Travis d'Arnaud will serve as the Angels' primary catcher while Sebastian Rivero operates in the backup role.
