Reese McGuire C | MIL
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.

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.
