    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Smokes two homers

    Goodman went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored during Monday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

    Goodman broke out of a three-game hit drought in a big way, taking Marlins starter Max Meyer deep twice Monday, including a big-time blast in the fifth that turned the game upside down, to power the Rockies to a victory. Up to nine home runs on the season, the 25-year-old continues to be an impact bat from the catching position, with a .780 OPS that ranks fourth in MLB among qualified catchers.

  • Brewers' Ramon Rodriguez: Lands on full-season IL

    Rodriguez was placed on the full-season injured list Monday due to an undisclosed injury, per MiLB transactions log.

    Rodriguez was placed on the 7-day injured list May 20 before being transferred to the full-season IL on Monday. The nature of his injury remains unclear at this time. Rodriguez was batting .359 with two home runs, 19 RBI and eight runs scored over 21 appearances at Double-A Biloxi prior to suffering the injury.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Receiving day off

    Smith it not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    It's a routine day off after Smith caught each of the previous four contests for the Dodgers. Dalton Rushing is at catcher and batting eighth in Monday's series opener.

  • Padres' Elias Diaz: Sitting again Sunday

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Diaz will take a seat for the second day in a row while Martin Maldonado receives another start behind the dish. Since he's still started six of the Padres' last 10 games overall, Diaz appears to be the team's preferred catching option, though that hasn't meant much for fantasy purposes. Diaz closed May with just six hits in 45 at-bats (.133 average) over his final 16 games of the month.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Moreno is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Moreno went 2-for-7 with a double, an RBI and a run while starting the first two games of the series and will sit for Sunday's finale. Jose Herrera will take over behind the plate to catch for ace Corbin Burnes.

  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Sitting after three straight starts

    Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Davis will give way behind the plate to Endy Rodriguez, who will pick up his first start since being activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Davis started the prior three games and looks like he could serve as the team's top option behind the plate while Joey Bart (concussion) is on the 7-day injured list. Davis wrapped up May with a .237/.341/.342 slash line and a 22.2 percent strikeout rate over 46 plate appearances on the month.

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Out of lineup Sunday

    Kelly is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    It's likely just a rest day for Kelly, who went 0-for-10 with a walk while starting the previous three games. Reese McGuire will step in behind the plate to catch for veteran righty Jameson Taillon on Sunday.

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: On bench Sunday

    Goodman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Goodman started the previous four games and will receive Sunday off after going 3-for-16 with a walk and five strikeouts during that stretch. Jacob Stallings will work behind the plate and bat ninth in the series finale for Colorado.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Taking seat for series finale

    Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    After taking a seat for Friday's series opener against right-hander Lucas Giolito, Baldwin will sit against southpaw Garrett Crochet this time around. Sean Murphy will get the nod at catcher Sunday as the duo continue to split time behind the plate.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Receiving Sunday off

    Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Alvarez started the first two games of the series and will sit for Sunday's finale after going 1-for-7 with three strikeouts. Luis Torrens will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Clay Holmes.
