  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Hits 10th home run Monday

    Dingler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the Twins.

    Dingler was one of three Detroit players to go deep as the Tigers rallied from an early 2-0 hole to secure the win. The 26-year-old catcher is having a productive sophomore campaign, as he's now up to 10 home runs to go along with a .749 OPS across 85 games. Last year, Dingler posted just a .505 OPS in 27 regular-season games as he served primarily in a backup role, but he's emerged as Detroit's clear top backstop in 2025 due to his improved offensive output.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: To resume hitting soon

    Moreno (finger) has been cleared to resume baseball activities and could begin hitting by the end of the week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Manager Torey Lovullo noted Monday that Moreno has just begun his return to play progression, and that he's been cleared to take dry swings. If all goes week throughout the week, the backstop could get the green light to see live at-bats. An exact timetable for Moreno's return has yet to be established.

  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Idle Monday

    Davis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

    Davis will take a seat after going 0-for-7 with two strikeouts over his last two starts. Though he's been part of a timeshare at catcher with Joey Bart, Davis could eventually see a dip in playing time if he's unable to break out of his ongoing slump at the plate. In 10 games since the All-Star break, Davis has gone 1-for-30 with five walks and 11 strikeouts.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Idle for series opener

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    After starting behind the plate in each of the Guardians' last three games, the left-handed-hitting Naylor will get a breather Monday while the Mets send southpaw Sean Manaea to the hill. Austin Hedges will serve as Cleveland's catcher in the series opener.

  • Yohel Pozo C | STL

    Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Out of lineup Monday

    Pozo is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Dodgers.

    Pozo has seen an uptick in playing time lately, having started three of the previous four games at catcher. However, he will begin Monday's festivities on the bench, as Pedro Pages will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Cardinals.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Out of Monday's lineup

    Higashioka is not in the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Yankees.

    Higashioka started both of the previous two contests and five of the last six games, but he'll take a seat in Monday's series opener. Jonah Heim will handle catching duties and will bat eighth for the Rangers.

  • Matt Thaiss C | BOS

    Rays' Matt Thaiss: Stays in organization

    The Rays outrighted Thaiss to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

    He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Thaiss will accept an outright assignment and remain in the organization as catching depth.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Smacks 21st homer

    Goodman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Pirates.

    The Rockies hit three consecutive homers in the sixth inning, with Goodman the last to go yard. He now has 21 home runs on the season, four of which have come in 12 starts since the All-Star break. While the majority of that production has come at home, Goodman has hit better overall on the road this season, setting him up for a productive close to the campaign.

  • Omar Narvaez C | HOU

    Omar Narvaez: Reaches open market

    The Astros released Narvaez on Sunday.

    The 33-year-old backstop inked a minor-league deal with Houston on June 4 but never made much of a push for a promotion despite getting on base at an excellent .402 clip over 117 plate appearances with Triple-A Sugar Land. Narvaez will look to land a minor-league contract with a different organization with the hope of eventually earning another look in the big leagues at some point in the final two months of the 2025 season.

  • Padres' Elias Diaz: Set to lose work to Fermin

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

    After he appeared to briefly overtake Martin Maldonado as the Padres' preferred catching option toward the end of July, Diaz may be back in the No. 2 role for the rest of the season with San Diego bringing in Freddy Fermin from Kansas City ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Fermin was on the bench for Friday's 4-1 win but will end up starting the final two games of the series with St. Louis while Diaz sits out.
