  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Not starting Saturday

    Perez (hip) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

    Perez will miss a second consecutive game Saturday after leaving Thursday's contest due to left hip soreness. Freddy Fermin will get the nod at catcher and bat eighth, and Cavan Biggio will work as Kansas City's designated hitter while batting seventh.

  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Stepping out of lineup Saturday

    Ruiz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Cincinnati.

    Ruiz will get a rest to begin Saturday after starting each of Washington's past five contests and going 5-for-19 with no extra-base hits over that stretch. Riley Adams is starting behind the plate and batting eighth for the Nats on Saturday.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Summoned to majors

    The Padres recalled Campusano from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

    Campusano has performed well with El Paso this season, slashing .322/.445/.598 with six home runs, 17 RBI and 21 runs over 110 plate appearances. He struggled in the majors last year, posting a .642 OPS over 299 plate appearances, but was much better in 2023, when he slashed .319/.356/.491 with seven long balls in 49 games. Campusano may not get much playing time behind the plate with the Padres given his defensive liabilities and since the team already has two other catchers -- veterans Elias Diaz and Martin Maldonado -- but he may also get an occasional turn at DH. To make room for Campusano on the roster, San Diego optioned Connor Joe to El Paso.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Won't start Saturday

    Naylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Naylor will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after slugging three home runs over his last four games. Austin Hedges will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Taking seat Saturday

    Kirk isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

    Kirk will get a day off Saturday after going 6-for-13 with a homer and four RBI across his last three games. Tyler Heineman will do the catching for Kevin Gausman instead while batting eighth.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Not starting Saturday

    Alvarez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    The Mets will give Alvarez a day off after he went 3-for-5 with three RBI during Friday's win. While he rests, Luis Torrens will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Getting breather Saturday

    Quero isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

    Quero will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored Friday. Matt Thaiss will catch for Davis Martin and bat seventh.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Returns to action

    Wong went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over Minnesota.

    Wong spent nearly a month on the 10-day injured list with finger injury. While catcher is his primary position, Wong made six starts at first base in 2024 and could be an option there after Triston Casas left Friday's contest with a significant knee injury.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Drives in three in Friday's win

    Alvarez went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Cardinals.

    While none of the knocks went for extra bases, it was still a strong performance from Alvarez. The 23-year-old backstop is batting .269 (7-for-26) with a double, a homer and six RBI over six games since returning from surgery to repair a fractured hamate bone.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Continues to make impact

    Quero went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored and two RBI against the Astros on Friday.

    Quero has racked up 52 plate appearances since his debut April 17. He's maintained a .326 average with a very impressive 5:7 K:BB. Even in the White Sox's below-average lineup, Quero has also managed seven RBI and five runs scored while consistently hitting cleanup.
