The White Sox recalled Lee from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Lee will join the active roster ahead of Friday's game against the Twins. The 27-year-old will be the third catcher on the depth chart behind rookies Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero. Lee has been in the minors since early June. Josh Rojas was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Goodman is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Pittsburgh.

Goodman was initially slated for a day off Thursday versus the Dodgers before being a late addition to the lineup. He'll now receive that breather in the first game of the Rockies' road trip, yielding catching duties to Braxton Fulford.

Bart is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Bart will yield to Henry Davis behind the dish for the third time in four games. Bart had started three of the previous four contests. He's slashing .248/.353/.321 in 272 plate appearances this season.

The Diamondbacks activated Moreno (finger) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Moreno wound up being sidelined for more than two months with a fractured finger, but he's ready to roll after going 8-for-20 with a pair of home runs in six rehab contests with Triple-A Reno. The 25-year-old will resume his role as Arizona's primary catcher.

The Diamondbacks designated Herrera for assignment Friday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The team needed to free up spots on its 26-man and 40-man rosters for the return of Gabriel Moreno (finger), and Herrera is the odd man out. Herrera has managed just a .200/.280/.259 batting line across parts of four seasons at the major-league level, but with teams always looking for catching depth, it's possible he draws interest on waivers.

The Mets signed Sanchez to a minor-league contract Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Sanchez elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Monday. He'll latch on with the Mets and provide some additional catching depth. The 28-year-old has also spent time with the Blue Jays this season, and he slashed .279/.347/.419 in 199 plate appearances with their Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo. Sanchez has appeared in just nine MLB games in 2025.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo confirmed that Moreno (finger) will be activated from the 60-day injured list and be in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM reports.

Moreno caught back-to-back games on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and Wednesday, which was the final hurdle for him to clear before rejoining the Diamondbacks' active roster. He's been sidelined since mid-June with a fractured finger.

Knizner went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a run scored in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Padres.

Knizner lined a double to right field in the third inning, driving in San Francisco's first run, before coming around to score. The hit was his first since Aug. 9 and just his second this month. The backup catcher is slashing .172/.213/.241 with eight runs scored, three RBI and one home run across 62 plate appearances this season.

Adams went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Mets.

The 29-year-old continues to hold up surprisingly well in a starting role while Keibert Ruiz (concussion) remains sidelined. Over 30 games since Ruiz returned to the IL in early July, Adams is slashing .260/.343/.427 with four doubles, four homers, nine RBI and 13 runs. Ruiz is participating in baseball activities but remains without a timeline for his activation.

Basallo and the Orioles are finalizing an eight-year, $67 million contract extension Friday, which includes a club option for 2034, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The 21-year-old is one of the top prospects in baseball and was called up for his MLB debut last weekend, and the Orioles wasted little time locking him in long term. Basallo has gone 4-for-14 with a double and five RBI in his first four big-league games after posting a .966 OPS with 23 homers in 76 contests for Triple-A Norfolk this year. The extension maxes out at $88.5 million if the option is exercised and all the escalators are achieved. With Adley Rutschman (oblique) landing on the injured list Thursday, Basallo is poised to operate as Baltimore's No. 1 catcher for the immediate future, though the rookie is also likely to see a lot of time at designated hitter.
