Teel started behind the dish each of the last three days, so he'll get some rest during Wednesday's afternoon game. Drew Romo is doing the catching and batting ninth for the White Sox.

Wells is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Bodine has been promoted from High-A Bowling Green to Double-A Montgomery, Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay News reports.

Bodine began the season at Single-A Charleston, and between two stops he's collected a .360/.422/.545 batting line with nine home runs and a 25:16 BB:K over 65 games. The 22-year-old's .360 batting average and 5.3 percent strikeout rate lead all minor leaguers. Bodine was taken in the first round of the 2025 First-Year Player Draft by the Orioles before being traded to the Rays over the offseason in the Shane Baz deal.

Caratini went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks against Houston in a 5-4 victory Monday.

Caratini went back-to-back with Royce Lewis in the fourth inning to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. After going deep just three times over his first 52 contests of the campaign, Caratini has swatted four home runs across his past 10 games. He's had a standout June, batting .355 with five homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and a 9:11 BB:K over 19 contests. Ryan Jeffers (hand) could return to action at some point in July, but Caratini may have done enough in Jeffers' absence to retain more than a typical backup's workload.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Diaz will get a breather for the series opener after he started in each of the Astros' last three games. Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties Monday.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Bailey made three straight starts behind the dish before being left out of the lineup in Sunday's 6-5 win over Seattle. He ended up entering Sunday's contest as a pinch hitter, striking out in his lone at-bat while catching the game's final three innings. The Guardians may be looking to give Bailey a proper rest day Monday while Austin Hedges receives the starting nod at catcher in the series opener.

Jensen went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 5-4 victory over the White Sox.

Jensen extended his hitting streak to 19 games, doing so with a game-high three hits and a pair of RBI.

The surge has significantly boosted Jensen's season line to .251/.317/.438 with 11 homers, 17 doubles, 45 RBI and 39 runs scored across 78 games.
