Campusano is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.

Campusano went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Diamondbacks. He'll get a chance to reset on the bench Thursday as Freddy Fermin gets the start behind the plate and bats eighth.

Stephenson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Athletics.

Stephenson's homer in the bottom of the fourth inning tied the game at 3-3 after the A's took a lead in the top half of the frame. It was the fourth home run in the last 13 contests and 10th of the season for the pending free agent catcher, who has burnished his market value since the break. In 14 second-half games, Stephenson has slashed .319/.418/.702 with seven walks, four homers, six doubles, nine RBI and nine runs scored.

The Tigers signed Zavala to a minor-league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Toledo, Emily Waldon of Baseball America Reports.

Zavala had played in 16 games at the Triple-A level in 2026 for the Dodgers at Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to being let go in June. He slashed .196/.323/.353 with three extra-base hits (including two home runs) across 62 plate appearances with OKC. The 32-year-old made his last MLB appearances in 2024 for Seattle.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City.

Jeffers will receive a routine day off after starting each of the previous six contests. Victor Caratini will do the catching and bat eighth for the Twins.

Raleigh is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Tigers.

Raleigh was hit by a pitch in the midsection during Wednesday's win over the Tigers, though he stayed in and finished the contest. He's likely sore, but his absence from Thursday's lineup could simply be due to it being an afternoon game after he started the last eight tilts. Jhonny Pereda will fill in at catcher in the series finale while Raleigh rests.

Contreras is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Pirates.

Contreras had made six straight starts and homered in Wednesday's win over the Pirates, but he'll get some rest during Thursday's matinee. Gary Sanchez is doing the catching and batting seventh for the Brewers.

Kelly is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Kelly and Miguel Amaya have rotated starts at catcher for the Cubs in each of the last 10 games. It will be Amaya behind the dish Thursday at Wrigley Field.

Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Angels.

Narvaez started behind the dish in the first two games of the series, so he will get a breather during Thursday's afternoon tilt. Yohel Pozo is doing the catching and batting ninth for the Orioles.

D'Arnaud is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.

D'Arnaud started at catcher the previous two days, so he'll grab a seat during Thursday's matinee. Moises Ballesteros -- who slotted in at designated hitter in his first two starts for the Angels -- will do the catching Thursday.

Dingler went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.

That's three homers and seven RBI over Dingler's last five games. The catcher has four multi-hit efforts in that span and accounted for half of the Tigers' knocks in Wednesday's loss. His breakout season continues, as he's now up to 25 homers, 75 RBI, 61 runs scored, 22 doubles and two triples while batting .275 with an .868 OPS through 105 contests.
