  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Clouts first homer

    Trevino went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

    Trevino changed the complexion of the game in the fourth inning, when he took one of MLB's best pitchers, Jacob Misiorowski, deep for a two-out shot that barely cleared the fence. It was the first homer of the season for the backup catcher, who last homered in June of 2025. He entered the contest with a .192 batting average on the season but since coming off the injured list June 14, Trevino's gone 9-for-27 (.333) over eight games.

  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Reaches four times Thursday

    Rushing went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, three total runs and four total RBI against San Diego in a 12-7 victory Thursday.

    Los Angeles fell behind 6-0 before Rushing kicked off a comeback with a two-run homer to center field in the second inning. The young backstop added a sacrifice fly in the sixth frame and an RBI single in the eighth to round out his third four-hit performance of the campaign. Rushing has been holding down the fort behind the plate since Will Smith (neck) last played June 5. Over 20 contests in Smith's absence, Rushing is batting .258 with three homers, five doubles, 11 runs and 11 RBI.

  • Padres' Freddy Fermin: Removed after foul tip off mask

    Fermin was removed from Thursday's game against the Dodgers in the fifth inning after taking a foul tip off the mask, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Fermin spent time on the 7-day IL last month after he was concussed when a warmup pitch struck him in his mask. Prior to exiting Thursday, Fermin went 1-for-2 with a double. Rodolfo Duran replaced him at catcher.

  • Drew Millas C | WAS

    Nationals' Drew Millas: Productive in Wednesday's start

    Milias went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.

    The 28-year-old remains firmly behind Keibert Ruiz on the catcher depth chart for the Nats, but Milias has been making a contribution of late while starting a couple times a week. Over his last five games dating back to June 16, the 28-year-old has gone 5-for-18 (.278) with a double, an RBI, three runs and a .381 OBP.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Absent from Thursday's lineup

    Goodman is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Marlins.

  • Liam Hicks C | MIA

    Marlins' Liam Hicks: Two more hits in Wednesday's loss

    Hicks went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies.

    Making his second straight start at first base since coming off the IL, Hicks has banged out two hits and scored a run in each game since recovering from a lower-back strain. The 27-year-old's breakout campaign doesn't appear to be slowing down -- over 19 contests since the beginning of June, Hicks has produced a .324/.405/.471 slash line with five extra-base hits, including two homers, eight RBI and 15 runs.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Exiting starting lineup

    Stephenson is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest from Milwaukee.

    Stephenson is sporting a .962 OPS across his last 10 games, but he will get a breather after catching Wednesday's night game. Jose Trevino will be behind the dish in the series finale.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Day off Thursday

    Realmuto is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Pirates.

    Realmuto started behind the dish in each of the first three games of the series, earning a breather during Thursday's matinee. Rafael Marchan will do the catching and bat ninth for the Phillies.

  • James McCann C | ARI

    Diamondbacks' James McCann: Rehab assignment begining

    McCann (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday, MLB.com reports.

    McCann, who's been out since May 19 with a strained right quad, will open his rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno. The reports estimates the catcher's return for some time next week.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Pops seventh homer

    Davis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Phillies.

    Davis led off the third inning with his seventh home run of the season and his third in 14 games since June 3. He's still hit only .188 in that span, though he has started in five of Pittsburgh's last seven games after previously beginning to lose playing time.
