Stephenson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Stephenson has tallied at least one base hit in each of his last four games, but the Reds will keep him in the dugout to begin Saturday's contest while Jose Trevino starts at catcher, batting seventh.

The Pirates reinstated Flores (concussion) from the injured list Saturday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

After suffering a concussion last weekend, Flores is now fully recovered and will claim the roster spot vacated by Ryan O'Hearn (quad), who landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Flores has gone 4-for-15 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in the majors this year and will provide depth at catcher and first base.

Bailey isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

After going 0-for-10 with a walk and three strikeouts across his last four games, Bailey will move to the bench for a second straight game while Austin Hedges handles catching duties.

Alvarez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez will move to the bench after going 2-for-19 with six strikeouts in New York's last five games. Luis Torrens will fill in at catcher and bat ninth.

Jensen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 3-1 loss to Colorado.

Jensen was responsible for the Royals' lone run in Friday's loss with a solo home run off Tomoyuki Sugano in the sixth inning. It was the 15th home run of the season for Jensen and his second since the All-Star break. He'll wrap up the month with a .187 batting average with three home runs, eight RBI and a 38.2 percent strikeout rate in July.

The Guardians traded Naylor and Codi Heuer to the Brewers on Saturday in exchange for Craig Yoho and Blake Perkins, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Naylor has posted a .438 OPS across 90 plate appearances in the big leagues this season and has slashed .225/.344/.438 across 45 games at Triple-A. He'll report to Triple-A Nashville to begin his tenure with the Brewers, but he would be the next man up to join the big club if one of Milwaukee's backstops were to get injured, or if the team moves Gary Sanchez before the trade deadline.

Moreno went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Friday's 4-1 win over Cleveland.

Moreno provided the second of three consecutive run-scoring singles in the top of the eighth inning, with his being the go-ahead knock. The catcher has RBI in eight of the last nine games, plating 13 runners while batting .343 during that stretch. He's been the team's most consistent hitter since returning from an oblique injury in early May. Since then, Moreno's posted a .313/.400/.462 slash line with 13 doubles, eight home runs, 41 RBI, four steals and 40 runs scored over 70 contests.

Dingler went 2-for-6 with a grand slam in Friday's 13-1 win over the Athletics.

Dingler went deep in the eighth inning as the Tigers ran up the score, giving him 23 home runs and 72 RBI on the season. The RBI total is first among all MLB catchers, while Dingler trails only Hunter Goodman and his 31 homers for the lead among his position group. The Detroit backstop is having a breakout campaign and should remain firmly entrenched in fantasy lineups.

Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Jeffers has hit safely in 11 of 12 games since he returned from a fractured left hamate. He has gone 13-for-45 (.289) with three homers, 10 RBI and two doubles in that span. The catcher continues to provide steady offense at a premium position in fantasy. For the season, he's batting .293 with a .935 OPS, 10 homers, 36 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 49 contests.

Campusano went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Campusano has gone 7-for-15 with three RBI over his last four games. The catcher continues to see a decent amount of playing time between his work behind the dish and at designated hitter. On the year, he's batting .306 with a .919 OPS, four home runs, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases over 36 games. He hit .326 in July after returning from a fractured toe he sustained in May.
