  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Sent to Triple-A

    The White Sox optioned Lee to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    The 26-year-old will lose his place on the MLB roster Friday with prospect Kyle Teel being called up for his first taste of the majors. Lee was reinstated from the injured list last week after going down with an ankle injury in early April, and he'll head to the minors with a .250/.300/.357 slash line in 31 big-league plate appearances this season.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Promotion official

    The White Sox selected Teel's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    The 23-year-old is poised to make his MLB debut after posting a .295/.394/.492 slash line with eight homers and seven steals in 50 games for Charlotte to begin the season. Teel, who was acquired from the Red Sox as part of the Garrett Crochet trade in December, should split playing time behind the plate with Edgar Quero following Korey Lee's demotion to Triple-A on Friday. Teel has also been taking reps at first base but has yet to see game action there at the professional level, so he may need some time to get more comfortable at the position. The White Sox could also DH either of the young backstops to get them more playing time.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Rays' Danny Jansen: Exiting starting nine

    Jansen is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Marlins.

    Jansen was the Rays' starting catcher for Thursday's night game, so he will get some rest during Friday's matinee. Matt Thaiss is behind the dish and batting seventh.

  • Royals' Freddy Fermin: Swats second homer

    Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 7-5 win over the Cardinals in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader.

    Fermin's playing time has declined to begin June. He's hit safely in the last six games where he's received a plate appearance, but his effort in Thursday's nightcap was his first with multiple hits since May 6. The catcher is at a .255/.301/.340 slash line with two homers, eight RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles over 114 plate appearances. If he can't turn things around with the bat, he'll likely continue to be confined to a backup role as Salvador Perez continues to be capable of working behind the plate as a starter.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Up to 24 homers

    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and three total RBI in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles.

    Raleigh got the Mariners on the board in the third inning, tying the game 1-1 with an RBI single, before smacking his league-leading 24th homer off Zach Eflin in the fifth. It's been an incredible year thus far for the 28-year-old Raleigh -- he has at least one hit in 13 of his last 15 contests, going 20-for-58 (.345) with nine home runs in that span. Overall, Raleigh is batting .268 with a 1.015 OPS, 49 RBI and 41 runs scored through his first 265 plate appearances this season.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Homers again Thursday

    Rutschman went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 4-3 win over Seattle.

    Rutschman tucked a Bryan Woo slider just inside the right-field foul pole in the sixth inning, tying the game 3-3. Rutschman looks to finally be turning things around at the plate after an extended slump to start the year -- he's now 7-for-13 with a pair of homers in his last three contests. The 27-year-old backstop is slashing .225/.314/.375 with seven homers, 26 runs scored and 18 RBI through 226 plate appearances this season.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Joining ChiSox

    The White Sox are expected to select Teel's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    After slashing .295/.394/.492 with eight homers, 30 RBI, 34 runs scored and seven steals through 50 games with Charlotte, Teel will now report to Chicago for his first career stint in the majors. The 23-year-old has only ever played catcher during his professional career; however, the team has been getting him fielding practice at first base over the past several days. With fellow prospect Edgar Quero already starting behind the plate most days for the White Sox and batting .256 on the year, learning a new position would certainly help Teel's chances of cracking the lineup regularly. That being said, it will likely take a while for him to feel comfortable enough at first base to begin playing there in major-league games.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Departs mid at-bat Thursday

    Langeliers departed Thursday's game in the sixth inning after appearing to pull something on his left side during a swing, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Langeliers ended his day Thursday going 1-for-4 with a double, but his injury occurred in the final one of those at-bats. Logan Davidson subbed in for Langeliers as the designated hitter. It was later deemed that Langeliers departed due to left flank soreness, and he is set to receive an MRI to determine the severity of the issue, Martin Gallegos MLB.com reports.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Enters lineup Thursday

    Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.

    Rogers will start Thursday's afternoon tilt to give Dillon Dingler a rest following three straight starts behind the plate. Dingler has emerged as Detroit's top catcher with a .296 batting average and .795 OPS, while Rogers is batting only .125 with a .410 OPS. Rogers has also yet to go deep in 2025, which has sapped him of pretty much any fantasy utility at this point.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Getting a breather Thursday

    Dingler is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

    Dingler had started each of the last three games but will get Thursday afternoon off, with Jake Rogers entering the lineup. The former has seized the top role behind the plate for the Tigers due to much stronger offensive numbers. Dingler is batting .296 with a .795 OPS, while Rogers is batting only .125 with a .410 OPS.
