Mack is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Mack will rest during Wednesday's matinee after starting at catcher each of the previous three days. Brian Navarreto will be behind the dish as the Marlins go for the sweep.

Rivero (hand) began a rehab assignment Saturday and has gone 3-for-7 with a home run in his first two rehab contests.

Rivero played one rehab game in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before being moved up to Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday. The catcher has been out since early June following left hamate bone surgery. It's not a given that Rivero will be returned to the Angels' roster once he's physically ready.

Wong went 1-for-1 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

Wong entered the game in the eighth inning after starter Carlos Narvaez was removed for a pinch hitter. The Red Sox rallied from a 3-0 deficit over the final two innings, which included Wong's two-run homer in the ninth, but the rally fell short. He's batting just .182 (4-for-22) with nine strikeouts since the break.

Moreno went 2-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Pirates.

Moreno's infield single in the third inning extended an on-base streak to 25 consecutive games and 44 straight starts. The catcher/DH is batting .346 (56-for-162) with a .439 on-base percentage during his 44-start on-base streak. Moreno has a .307/.389/.445 slash line with 18 doubles, seven home runs, 43 RBI, four steals and 44 runs through 81 contests this season.

McCann went 4-for-6 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-innings win over Pittsburgh.

McCann saved Arizona from its worst loss of the season when he singled home the game-winning run in the top of the 12th inning. The Diamondbacks blew a 6-0 lead in the final two innings of regulation but came back to win it in extras. McCann has hit safely in all six games since returning from a quad injury that cost him nearly two months. The backup catcher is 12-for-24 (.500) with three home runs and 10 RBI in those six contests.

Serven went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox.

Serven broke the game open in the seventh inning, taking Jake Bennett deep for a two-run homer. It was his first home run as a member of the Athletics and his first major-league homer since 2022. The veteran backstop has logged just seven plate appearances at the major-league level this season, collecting two hits including Tuesday's long ball. With Shea Langeliers sidelined by a torn meniscus, Serven could receive an extended chance in the majors this time around. He slashed .308/.401/.538 across 61 games at Triple-A Las Vegas and is expected to serve as the backup catcher behind fill-in starter Jonah Heim.

Rushing went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.

After an 0-for-19 skid over nine games between July 7-21, Rushing has gone 7-for-17 (.412) over his last five contests. The catcher still has some runway as the Dodgers' starter behind the dish, as Will Smith (neck) is just starting to resume baseball activities. Rushing is batting .256 with an .813 OPS, 11 home runs, 33 RBI, 35 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases over 71 games this season.

Rodriguez went 1-for-6 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Rodriguez returned from the injured list Monday, but Tuesday marked his first start. He contributed to a late rally with an RBI single in the eighth inning, though he also struck out three times. While Henry Davis will still get some starts, Rodriguez is likely to return to his role as Pittsburgh's primary catcher moving forward.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Dodgers.

Raleigh's second-inning blast answered a Shohei Ohtani homer from the opening frame. It's now been 15 games since Raleigh last had a multi-hit effort, going just 8-for-52 (.154) in that span. The prolonged slump at the plate has caused the catcher to plunge in the order. Raleigh hit second early on, but he has been fifth or sixth in the lineup in four of his last five games. Overall, he's batting .166 with a .579 OPS, 11 homers, 36 RBI, 25 runs scored, seven doubles and two stolen bases over 75 contests.

Wynns went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a run scored, a walk and a strikeout in Texas' 4-1 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Wynns blasted his first home run of the season in the seventh to extend the Rangers' lead to 3-1. The 35-year-old, who recently had his contract selected by Texas on July 21, picked up just his second base knock since joining the club. The catcher has spent time with three different teams this season, slashing .098/.154/.148 with one homer and one RBI in 66 plate appearances.
