Rivero went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Brewers.

This was the first career steal for Rivero. The catcher is batting .192 with two RBI, four runs scored, two doubles and no home runs over nine games in the majors with the Angels this year, his first taste of big-league action since 2022 with the Royals. He'll compete with Logan O'Hoppe for playing time over the last three series of the season.

Vazquez (shoulder) went 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in a rehab appearance with Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Vazquez kicked off a rehab stint Thursday, hitting second in the order while serving as the designated hitter. He'll likely need to get some reps behind the plate prior to rejoining the Twins, so he may still be a few days away from being activated off the IL.

O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

O'Hoppe started Tuesday after returning from the 7-day injured list but will now take a seat for a second consecutive game Thursday while Sebastian Rivero gets the nod at catcher.

Langeliers is not in Thursday's lineup against the Red Sox.

This will be Langeliers' first day off since Sept. 7. He's hitting .280 with one home run, nine runs, three RBI and two steals in 50 September at-bats.

Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Athletics.

It's a routine day off for Narvaez, who started each of the last five contests (four at catcher, one at designated hitter). Connor Wong will do the catching during Thursday's matinee.

Kirk is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rays.

Kirk will receive a day off after starting at catcher in each of the first two games of the series. Tyler Heineman will be behind the dish for Thursday's matinee.

Goodman went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored Wednesday against the Marlins.

Goodman had a quiet road trip through mid-September, going only 3-for-23 across a seven-game span ending Sept. 14. However, he's gotten back on track since returning home, going 4-for-9 with a double and a run scored across two games. Goodman has had an impressive breakout season and is hitting well to close things out, blasting four home runs with 11 RBI and seven runs scored while hitting .321 across 14 games in September.

Alvarez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Padres.

Alvarez started each of the previous five games at catcher, so he'll receive a well-earned day off during Thursday's matinee. Luis Torrens will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Mets.

Diaz went 1-for-3 with two RBI on Wednesday against the Rangers.

Diaz delivered a two-run single in the first inning to start the scoring for Houston. He's been excellent at the plate in his last 10 games, hitting .351 with one home run, 12 RBI and four runs scored.

Flores went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk Wednesday against the Cubs.

Flores was acquired by the Pirates as the primary return for David Bednar at the trade deadline and made his debut Wednesday. He filled in at first base with a lefty on the mound, and he hit a double to straightaway center field in the third inning for his first big-league hit. Flores will likely continue to find his way into the lineup as he auditions for a potential roster spot in 2026.
