The Orioles announced Monday that Handley (wrist) has resumed swinging a bat, MLB.com reports.

Initially placed on the 7-day injured list June 23, Handley cleared concussion protocol a month later but was shifted to the 10-day IL last week while he continues to recover from a right wrist sprain. The backstop appears to have begun a hitting progression, but he'll still need to face live pitching in addition to proving that his throwing isn't impacted by the wrist injury before he gets cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment.

Rutschman is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Blue Jays.

Rutschman made a triumphant return to the lineup in Monday's 11-4 win over Toronto following a five-plus-week stay on the injured list due to an oblique strain. He started behind the plate and batted cleanup in the win, finishing with two doubles, one single, two runs and two RBI over five plate appearances. Alex Jackson will step in behind the plate for the first game of the day Tuesday, but Rutschman should be in line to handle catching duties for the nightcap.

Heineman is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

With Alejandro Kirk (concussion) landing on the 7-day injured list over the weekend, Heineman is poised to take over as Toronto's primary catcher in the interim, but the 34-year-old won't be asked to start both ends of Tuesday's twin bill. Ali Sanchez will step in behind the plate for Game 1, but expect Heineman to catch for starting pitcher Eric Lauer in the nightcap.

The Giants signed Cartaya to a minor-league contract Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Cartaya was released by the Twins last week after going 5-for-59 with 40 strikeouts at Triple-A St. Paul. He's a former top prospect and still just 23, so the Giants felt Cartaya warranted a look on a minor-league pact.

Adams went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's victory over the Astros.

Adams snapped a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning Monday with a solo home run that held up as the game-winner for the Nationals. The catcher has had a rough 2025 campaign, slashing .169/.217/.346 with five doubles, six home runs and 16 RBI over 42 games. With Keibert Ruiz (concussion) sidelined, Adams has been sharing catching duties with Drew Millas.

Goodman went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-6 win over the Guardians.

Goodman helped spark a late comeback, launching a solo homer in the eighth inning and following with an RBI double during a four-run ninth. The All-Star has remained locked in since the break, tallying four multi-hit efforts with four extra-base hits, seven RBI and four runs over eight contests. On the season, he's slashing .282/.327/.523 with 19 homers, 59 RBI, 50 runs scored and one steal across 379 plate appearances.

The Brewers designated Haase for assignment Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

With Danny Jansen joining the Brewers via trade with Tampa Bay, the Brewers needed to create a 40-man roster spot, and Haase is the odd man out in Milwaukee. Haase slashed .229/.289/.357 with two home runs, nine RBI, 11 runs scored and a 4:31 BB:K across 77 plate appearances this season.

Rutschman went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 11-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Rutschman returned to action for the first time since June 19 and tallied his fifth three-hit game of the season, highlighted by a two-run double in the third inning. The 27-year-old is slashing .235/.324/.385 with eight homers, 22 RBI and 33 runs scored across 281 plate appearances, and Monday's performance provides optimism he can finish the season strong.

The Royals announced that Perez exited Monday's game against Atlanta with a left elbow contusion.

Perez took a 94 mph fastball from Spencer Strider off the elbow in the bottom of the third inning and was later removed from the contest in the top of the fifth. Freddy Fermin replaced Perez behind the plate. The hot-hitting Perez should be viewed as day-to-day, with Tuesday versus Atlanta being his next chance to play.

Perez exited Monday's game versus Atlanta in the top of the fifth inning after previously getting hit by a pitch in the elbow, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Perez was hit with a Spencer Strider fastball in the bottom of the third inning but stayed in the game only to be removed in favor of Freddy Fermin in the top of the fifth. Prior to exiting, Perez was 1-for-1 at the plate with one RBI. The veteran catcher has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last month-plus, slashing .304/.340/.685 with nine home runs, 20 RBI and 14 runs scored over the previous 30 days leading into Monday's contest.
