    Mets' Tomas Nido: Resting Wednesday

    Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

    Nido will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee game after he started behind the plate in Tuesday's 13-12 loss and went 1-for-3 with a run scored. Patrick Mazeika will draw the starting nod at catcher, forming a battery with pitcher Thomas Szapucki in the lefty's first MLB start.

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Receives routine maintenance

    Ruiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Riley Adams will fill in for him behind the plate, while Lane Thomas replaces Ruiz as the Nationals' No. 2 hitter.

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Plays hero with walkoff hit

    Trevino went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk and three total RBI in Tuesday's 7-6, extra-innings win against Baltimore.

    The backstop was a big part of the offense Tuesday, drilling a solo homer in the third inning and tying the game with a run-scoring single in the seventh. He then provided the game-winning run with a single to left field in the bottom of the 11th. Trevino has started three of the past four games for the Yankees, and he's gone 5-for-11 with four RBI over that stretch.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Goes yard twice against Cards

    The backstop launched a three-run shot off Jordan Hicks in the fourth inning and a solo blast off Drew VerHagen in the seventh. Jansen has only played in 11 games this season due to an oblique strain, but he's made the most of his chances by hitting .310 (9-for-29) with five homers, six runs and eight RBI.

  • Elias Diaz C | TEX

    Rockies' Elias Diaz: Resting Wednesday

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh.

    The Rockies are wrapping up their series in Pittsburgh with a day game after a night game, so Diaz will get a breather after he was behind the plate for both of the past two contests. Brian Serven will handle catching duties Wednesday and bat ninth.

  • Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Kicks off rehab assignment

    Marchan (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at High-A Jersey Shore on Wednesday.

    Marchan has been cleared for his first game action of the season after spending the past seven weeks on the 60-day injured list while recovering from a left hamstring strain. The Phillies will likely use close to the entire 20-day rehab window to evaluate Marchan before eventually activating him from the IL. He could be option to Triple-A Lehigh Valley once he's formally reinstated, as Garrett Stubbs has performed well in limited opportunities as the Phillies' No. 2 catcher behind J.T. Realmuto.

  • Red Sox's Christian Vazquez: Runs hit streak to six

    Vazquez went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 16-3 win over the White Sox.

    Vazquez drilled a three-run blast in the fifth inning and extended a hitting streak to six games (9-for-20). Following a .217 April, the catcher is slashing .314/.375/.451 over 56 plate appearances during the current month.
