  • Omar Narvaez C | HOU

    Mariners' Omar Narvaez: Sits again Tuesday

    Narvaez (back) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

    Narvaez was sidelined Tuesday due to back spasms and will sit for at least one more game. Tom Murphy starts behind the plate.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Sitting Tuesday

    Rogers is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Royals.

    Rogers has gone hitless in eight of his last nine games and is hitting .111 through 25 games overall. Grayson Greiner starts behind the plate in his absence.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Sitting Tuesday

    Jansen is not in the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

    Jansen sits for the third time in the last five games. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him on the bench fairly frequently down the stretch, as he's hit just .208/.280/.366 this season. Beau Taylor will catch Tuesday.

  • Indians' Roberto Perez: Back in action

    Perez (foot) is catching and batting eighth Tuesday against the White Sox.

    Perez was lifted from Monday night's matchup after suffering a left foot contusion, but he won't be forced to miss any time due to the injury. He's batting .224 with 21 homers and 50 RBI over 101 games this season.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Twins' Mitch Garver: Absent from Tuesday's lineup

    Garver (jaw) isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Garver left Monday's contest due to a sore jaw, and he'll be held out of Tuesday's clash as a result. Jason Castro gets the nod behind the dish and will bat eighth.

  • Royals' Cam Gallagher: Sitting Tuesday

    Gallagher is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

    Gallagher returned from an oblique injury Sunday but didn't start that day's game. He'll remain on the bench for this contest, with Nick Dini getting the call behind the plate.

  • Zack Collins C | CLE

    White Sox's Zack Collins: Likely to be added Tuesday

    Collins is expected to be called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Lamond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Collins batted just .077 (2-for-26) with 14 strikeouts in his initial stint with the White Sox from June to July, but has put the bat on the ball since returning to the minors. He batted .323 for the Knights since July 16, even with a current slide that's seen him go hitless in his last 15 at-bats. The White Sox are looking to see if the adjustments he made to his plate approach since his return to Triple-A carry forth to the major-league level.

  • Indians' Roberto Perez: Departs with foot contusion

    Perez was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to a left foot bruise, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Considering the nature of the injury, Perez will likely be considered day-to-day moving forward. Kevin Plawecki or Eric Haase would see time behind the dish if Perez is forced to miss any time.

  • Austin Wynns C | ATH

    Orioles' Austin Wynns: Called up for final month

    Wynns will join the Orioles on Tuesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Wynns appeared in 16 games for the Orioles early in the season but didn't do much at the plate, hitting .233/.283/.256. He's expected to serve as the Orioles' third catcher down the stretch.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Twins' Mitch Garver: Day-to-day with sore jaw

    Garver is day-to-day after exiting Monday's game against the Tigers with a sore jaw, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Garver appears to have escaped with a minor injury after taking a foul ball off his mask Monday. If he's forced to miss any time, Willians Astudillo or Jason Castro would fill in behind the dish.
