Langeliers entered Sunday's loss to the White Sox in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter and hit a solo home run in his only at-bat.

Langeliers had ceded catching duties to Kyle McCann to open the day, yet he was able to come through off the bench with his 26th homer of the season. The round tripper got the Athletics to within one run, but the rally stagnated at that point. Langeliers snapped a 10-game extra-base-hit drought with the timely blast, as well as a brief 0-for-13 skid that had encompassed his last three games.

Haase went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Haase did damage in the sixth inning with a two-run blast to left off of Kevin Ginkel. It was his second time with three hits in a game this season and second home run over his last three starts. He's made just three starts since the beginning of September and is up to five homers, 13 RBI and nine runs scored for the year.

Rutschman went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.

This was Rutschman's first homer in nearly a month, and he hit just .175 (14-for-80) over 22 contests between long balls. It's been an unusually long slump for the star catcher, which has seen him drop to fifth in the order after most frequently batting second for most of the season. He's still got some time to set aim for his second straight 20-homer year -- he's one shy now while adding 76 RBI, 63 runs scored, one stolen base and a .254/.324/.400 slash line over 137 contests.

Stallings went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs.

Stallings has gone 14-for-55 (.255) over 17 contests since the start of August as Colorado's backup catcher. He has four homers in that span and a career-high nine on the year, offering a bit of pop despite limited playing time. Overall, he's maintained a .261/.358/.455 slash line with 35 RBI, 27 runs scored, 14 doubles and one triple over 258 plate appearances.

Barnes exited Sunday's contest with Atlanta in the fifth inning with a left big toe contusion.

Barnes was forced to the leave the game before his second at-bat with a familiar injury. The catcher had a fracture in the same toe in August, and it's unclear how long he could be unavailable for. Will Smith replaced him behind the plate and will continue to get the lion's share of work at catcher moving forward.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Smith will receive some routine maintenance after he had started behind the plate in each of the Dodgers' last three games. Austin Barnes will handle catching duties for the Dodgers in the series finale in Atlanta.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Murphy had started behind the plate in five of the past six games, but he'll likely be in store for a role reduction after Travis d'Arnaud (personal) returned from the paternity list Thursday. Despite getting more consistent at-bats of late, Murphy is still hitting just .080 in September and a career-worst .203 on the season.

Higashioka is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Higashioka will receive a breather in the series finale after he had started at catcher in four of the Padres' previous five games. Elias Diaz will step in behind the plate for San Diego.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey went 3-for-7 with a double while starting the first two games of the series, but he'll sit Sunday for the afternoon finale. Curt Casali is batting eighth and catching for right-hander Landen Roupp.

The Angels selected Campero's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Campero has spent most of the season at Double-A Rocket City, where he posted an .888 OPS with 14 home runs and 29 steals in 93 games before earning a promotion to Salt Lake in August. The 26-year-old isn't likely to have a regular role with Anaheim, but he could still see some opportunities during the final two weeks of the regular season. He caught 34 games in the minors in 2023, but he's played exclusively in the corner outfield or at designated hitter in 2024.
