  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Getting day off

    Trevino is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Trevino homered Monday during what was his third straight start, so he'll receive some rest Tuesday. Austin Wynns is catching and batting ninth for the Reds.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Coming off bench Tuesday

    Jeffers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

    Manager Rocco Baldelli said over the weekend that Jeffers would operate as more of an everyday catcher going forward, but Christian Vazquez is behind the plate for this one, catching Chris Paddack. Edouard Julien is batting leadoff as the designated hitter. Jeffers has a .991 OPS and five RBI over the last seven days but is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts lifetime against Guardians starter Tanner Bibee.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Lone offense in loss

    Heim went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

    Heim was the lone Ranger to deliver with a runner in scoring position, as the team's offensive funk continued unabated. He batted cleanup in another attempt by manager Bruce Bochy to find the right combination to shake up the offense. Texas ranks 26th in MLB with a .219 average with runners in scoring position. Heim is above the norm in that regard, batting .286 in that split. Overall, he's batting .261 with a .765 OPS over 21 games.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Drives in all of team's runs

    Goodman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to Atlanta on Monday.

    Goodman helped Colorado get off to a fast start with a three-run blast to left field in the first inning, but that was the final time the Rockies got on the scoreboard. Goodman has been one of the few bright spots in what has been a horrendous 4-24 start to the season for Colorado -- he is tied for the team lead with five long balls and ranks first on the Rockies with 14 RBI and 15 runs while slashing .256/.350/.478. Goodman's production has been especially valuable in fantasy given his status as a backstop.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Homers, plates three in win

    Jeffers went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 11-1 win at Cleveland.

    Jeffers slugged his first home run of the season in the eighth inning off position-player pitcher Will Wilson. The Minnesota catcher has started to show signs of life lately, as he's hitting .333 (8-for-24) with three doubles, five RBI and three runs scored over his last six games. Overall, Jeffers is slashing .257/.353/.392 across 85 plate appearances.

  • Gary Sanchez C | MIL

    Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Lands on IL with wrist injury

    The Orioles placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Monday due to right wrist inflammation.

    Sanchez may have picked up the injury during the weekend series against the Tigers, during which he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in two games. To add backstop depth behind Adley Rutschman, the Orioles selected Maverick Handley's contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Sanchez will undergo further tests to determine a timeline for his return.

  • Orioles' Maverick Handley: Promoted to majors

    The Orioles selected Handley's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    The Orioles were in need of a catcher after placing Gary Sanchez (wrist) on the 10-day injured list, prompting Handley's promotion to the majors to serve as the backup catcher to Adley Rutschman. Handley has started the Triple-A season strongly, slashing .346/.433/.558 with two stolen bases, 11 runs scored, one home run and five RBI in 60 plate appearances. He'll have an opportunity to make his major-league debut when Rutschman takes a planned rest day.

  • Ivan Herrera C | STL

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: May start rehab assignment Thursday

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that Herrera (knee) will begin cutting drills and baserunning work as soon as Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    The hope remains that Herrera will be ready to begin a rehab assignment as soon as Thursday. It's not clear how many rehab games Herrera will require before being activated from the 10-day injured list, but a return at some point next week appears possible. The catcher is working his way back from a left knee bone bruise.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Re-evaluated at end of this week

    Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Stephenson (oblique) will be re-evaluated at the end of this week, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    That typically means a player will be activated at that time as long as long as they're performing and feeling well in their rehab games. Stephenson has been out all season with a strained left oblique and is 3-for-17 with one home run in his first five rehab contests with Triple-A Louisville. He caught a full nine innings Sunday, which is the first time he's done so since joining Louisville.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Back in Baltimore lineup Monday

    Rutschman (hand) will start at catcher and bat third in Monday's contest versus the Yankees, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Rutschman sat out Sunday's game against the Tigers with a sore right hand after he injured it blocking a ball in the dirt Saturday, but he's ready to go for the series opener. The 27-year-old will bring a disappointing .677 OPS into play Monday.
