  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Not starting Saturday

    Murphy is not part of Atlanta's starting nine for Saturday's matchup against Texas.

    Murphy started each of Atlanta's past four games -- either at catcher or DH -- but is getting a rest Saturday. Drake Baldwin is starting behind the plate, and Marcell Ozuna is getting a start at DH for the first time since Sunday.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Blasts homer in win

    Stephenson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and three RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Rays.

    Stephenson opened his night with a solo homer of Zack Littell in the second inning and later tacked on a two-run single in the seventh, helping to pad Cincinnati's lead. The 28-year-old backstop has been swinging a hotter bat of late, now batting 9-for-32 (.281) with seven RBI across his last eight games.

  • Cubs' Reese McGuire: Racks up season-high four RBI

    McGuire went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 12-5 loss to the White Sox.

    McGuire blasted homer No. 6 on the season, racking up a season-high three hits and four RBI in the process. The 30-year-old backstop has played rather sparingly as Carson Kelly's backup behind the plate, but the former has been quite useful when the latter has needed a day off amid Miguel Amaya's (oblique) absence. Through 23 outings, McGuire is hitting .243 with six homers, one double and 15 RBI covering 74 at-bats.

  • Brewers' Jeferson Quero: Dealing with arm injury

    Quero was removed Wednesday from Triple-A Nashville's 14-13 win over Charlotte after four innings due to an apparent left arm injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    The catching prospect appeared to suffer the injury to his non-throwing arm while attempting to tag out a baserunner earlier in the contest. The Brewers haven't provided an update on Quero's injury, but more information on his status could be available when he gets examined Thursday. After missing nearly all of the 2024 season while recovering from surgery to address a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Quero has slashed .259/.333/.362 with two home runs and two stolen bases over 129 plate appearances with Nashville in 2025.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: On base three times

    Goodman went 2-for-3 with a walk Wednesday against the Cardinals.

    Goodman went 7-for-21 while getting on base at a .364 clip across five games during the Rockies' homestand, tallying four RBI and two runs scored. He also struck out eight times, a larger trend across July for Goodman, as he has a 31.6 percent strikeout rate across 57 plate appearances during the month.

  • Jose Herrera C | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Receiving breather Wednesday

    Herrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    He'll take a seat for the day game after he went 0-for-4 while catching all nine innings of Tuesday night's 3-1 loss. James McCann will spell Herrera behind the plate in the series finale.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Taking seat Wednesday

    Smith is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Smith was behind the dish for both of the first two games of the series, so he'll get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. The Dodgers will roll out Dalton Rushing at catcher in the rubber match.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Day off Wednesday

    Pages is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Colorado.

    The Cardinals are closing out their series in Colorado with a day game, so Pages will get some rest after starting behind the plate Monday and Tuesday. Yohel Pozo will handle catching duties and bat eighth for St. Louis on Wednesday.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Getting afternoon off

    Alvarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    After getting called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Alvarez started behind the plate in the first two contests of the series and went 2-for-6 with a home run, a double, two walks, two RBI and two additional runs. Luis Torrens will get the nod behind the plate for Wednesday's day game, but so long as he's swinging a hot bat, Alvarez could be in store for the bulk of the starts at catcher.

  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Resting up Wednesday

    Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Davis will get some rest for Wednesday's matinee after he started behind the plate in three of the Pirates' previous four games. Joey Bart will handle the catching duties in the series finale with Detroit.
