Jake Rogers C | CHW
Tigers' Jake Rogers: Rests Wednesday
Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
He'll take a seat for the day game after a night game, allowing Eric Haase to get the starting nod behind the plate. Rogers went 1-for-8 with a double and a run scored while starting in both of Detroit's last two contests.

Danny Jansen C | TEX
Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Swats 15th homer
Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Orioles.
He took Kyle Bradish deep in the second inning to get the Jays on the board. Jansen has gone yard three times in his last five starts, and he's now tied his career high with 15 homers on the season while already establishing a new personal best with 48 RBI. His .227/.289/.486 slash line, however, still limits his appeal in shallower fantasy formats.

Tyler Stephenson C | CIN
Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Swats homer in loss
Stephenson went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 20-9 loss to the Cubs.
Stephenson belted his eighth home run of the season in the sixth inning. The homer was his first in 20 games, while the RBI was his first in 16 games. Stephenson is slashing .251/.332/.368, well off his pace from last season when he had an unsustainable .409 BABIP.

Reese McGuire C | CHW
Red Sox's Reese McGuire: Homers in return
McGuire went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Mariners.
McGuire missed about six weeks with an oblique injury. He had no trouble getting the ball in the air in his return, popping a solo shot and a sacrifice fly to contribute to the offense. The catcher is slashing a decent .269/.310/.380 with one homer, 13 RBI, 12 runs scored and nine doubles through 41 contests this season. He's likely to remain behind Connor Wong on the depth chart going forward.

Mitch Garver C | SEA
Rangers' Mitch Garver: Goes deep in victory
Garver went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the White Sox.
Garver got the scoring started in the fifth inning, smashing a solo shot off Jesse Scholtens to give Texas the lead. The 32-year-old has started each of the last seven games for the Rangers, going 6-for-18 with two homers, four RBI and four runs scored during that span. Garver should continue to see regular playing time with Jonah Heim on the injured list.

Francisco Alvarez C | NYM
Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Pummels another homer
Alvarez went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Kansas City.
Alvarez came through in crunch time for New York, launching a go-ahead two-run homer in the top of the 10th. However, his efforts were for naught, as the Royals answered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the frame to claim the victory. The long ball was Alvarez's 21st of the season and his second in as many games. Though the catcher is just 5-for-27 (.185) in his last nine games, he's been productive with six runs scored and four RBI.

Jose Trevino C | CIN
Yankees' Jose Trevino: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Yankees transferred Trevino (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
The transaction helps clear room on the 40-man roster for the Yankees' two pickups ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, right-handed pitchers Keynan Middleton and Spencer Howard. Trevino has already been ruled out for the season after undergoing surgery last week to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist.

Michael Perez C | BAL
Mets' Michael Perez: Back in New York
The Mets recalled Perez from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Perez is slashing just .209/.326/.318 through 176 plate appearances in the minors this season. He will be called up to provide extra depth behind Francisco Alvarez and Omar Narvaez, and he is unlikely to see many opportunities at the plate with the Mets.
