    Nationals' Riley Adams: Takes over for injured Ruiz

    Adams will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    With Keibert Ruiz (concussion) going back on the 7-day injured list Tuesday for the second time in less than two weeks, Adams looks poised to serve as the Nationals' No. 1 catcher through the All-Star break. He will pick up his third consecutive start Wednesday.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Sitting out Wednesday

    O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Texas, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    O'Hoppe will take a seat on the bench for the second time this series after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout Tuesday. Travis d'Arnaud will fill in at catcher and bat eighth.

  • Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Not ready for baseball activities

    Orioles manager Tony Mansolino said Sunday that Tromp (back) hasn't been cleared to resume baseball activities, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Tromp is one of four Orioles catchers on the 40-man roster who resides on the injured list. Like Tromp, Maverick Handley (concussion) and Gary Sanchez (knee) are also shut down from activities, while Adley Rutschman (oblique) has resumed running and taking swings off a tee but still appears to be weeks away from a return. The Orioles appear set to get by with Jacob Stallings and Alex Jackson as their catching tandem through the All-Star break, and likely to begin the second half.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Hits off tee Wednesday

    Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Rutschman (oblique) hit off a tee Wednesday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    He was not swinging at full effort, but it's a step beyond the dry swings Rutschman took Tuesday. Rutschman will continue to go through a hitting progression as he works his way back from a strained left oblique. A clearer picture of his timeline to return from the 10-day injured list should be available later this month.

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Absent from lineup

    Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Getting breather

    Dingler is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rays.

    Dingler had started at catcher in each of the Tigers' previous three games, so he'll be given some rest Wednesday. Jake Rogers will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth as Detroit goes for the sweep.
