Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in a loss to the Orioles on Tuesday.

Langeliers gave Oakland a 7-3 lead with a three-run homer off Austin Voth in the fifth inning. The backstop has now gone deep twice in 2023 while driving in four runs along with a .222/.263/.389 slash over 36 at-bats in 10 games. This was Langeliers' first multi-RBI game of the young season.

Heim went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's 8-5 win against the Royals.

Heim was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before coming to the plate with two runners on during the 10th inning, but he turned his evening around with a walkoff homer. It's the second straight day with a long ball for the 27-year-old, and he now has a .276/.300/.517 slash line with two home runs, six RBI and seven runs through eight games this season.

Contreras isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

Contreras has gotten off to a very impressive start to the season, recording a base hit in each of the eight games he's played in so far. He'll get the day off against Merrill Kelly, allowing Victor Caratini to pick up a start behind the dish and bat sixth.

Bart is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Bart logged a full game at catcher in his return Monday from a back injury, but he'll give way to Blake Sabol in Tuesday's tilt. Those two figure to share time behind the dish moving forward in the wake of Roberto Perez's right rotator cuff strain.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that d'Arnaud (concussion) is "feeling better," Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports.

D'Arnaud was placed on the 7-day injured list Sunday after suffering a concussion Saturday on a collision at home plate. There's still no timetable for his return, but he's at least making some semblance of progress. The 34-year-old had gotten off to a solid 11-for-33 (.333) start this season while playing nearly every day between designated hitter and catcher.

Nola is out of the lineup Tuesday night against the Mets.

Luis Campusano will catch and bat seventh versus the Mets and left-handed starter David Peterson. Nola has slashed just .115/.207/.115 through 29 plate appearances this season.

Alvarez is starting at catcher and batting ninth Tuesday against the Padres.

Mark Canha is at designated hitter and Tomas Nido is on the bench. Alvarez drew his first major-league start of the season Sunday versus the Marlins and went 1-for-4 with an RBI single. The 21-year-old top prospect had slugged two home runs in four games at Triple-A Syracuse prior to his promotion Friday.

Stallings is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

Stallings did return to action Monday after missing four games because of a back injury, but he'll rest up Tuesday with Nick Fortes handling catching duties and batting eighth for Miami.

Murphy is back in the cleanup spot Tuesday against the Reds.

Murphy hit cleanup Monday and went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th inning. He looks to be finding his groove offensively with the defending NL East champions.

Rutschman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 win over the Athletics.

Rutschman's third-inning blast gave the Orioles a 3-1 lead. The catcher has hit safely in eight of 10 games so far, and he's slashing .375/.457/.600 with three homers, seven RBI, six runs scored and a 6:9 BB:K. He's playing nearly every day between catcher and designated hitter, and he's shown some clear growth in the power department after he hit a just-okay 13 long balls over 113 contests last season.
