Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Angels.

Langeliers ended an eight-game stretch without a homer when he went deep in the fourth inning. The catcher is up to nine long balls this season, though he's hit just three of them over 16 games in May. He's added a .256/.320/.463 slash line, 25 RBI, 21 runs scored, three stolen bases and six doubles through 43 contests this season.

O'Hoppe went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

O'Hoppe recorded his third multi-hit effort in the last four games, a span in which he's also homered twice and added seven RBI. Prior to this strong stretch, he endured a 2-for-27 slump over his previous eight games. The catcher is up to 11 long balls, 25 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .264/.296/.500 slash line across 41 contests this season.

Heim went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Yankees.

Heim was able to get the Rangers on the board in the ninth inning, when he took Ian Hamilton deep to right field for a two-run homer. Heim has gone 4-for-10 with one home run and five RBI over his last three starts.

Nido was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Tuesday.

With Jake Rogers (oblique) back from the 10-day IL, Nido gets the boot from the Tigers' 40-man roster. Nido spent six weeks with Detroit, slashing .343/.361/.343 with two RBI, four runs scored and a 0:10 BB:K across 37 plate appearances. He even tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief against the Cardinals in a blowout loss Monday.

Dingler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

Jake Rogers is behind the dish Tuesday in his first game back from the injured list. Playing time at catcher between Dingler and Rogers will likely be divvied up fairly evenly moving forward.

The Tigers activated Rogers (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Rogers missed six weeks with a strained oblique but is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, catching for Tarik Skubal. With Rogers reinstated, Detroit designated Tomas Nido for assignment. Rogers and Dillon Dingler are likely to share time behind the plate moving forward.

Diaz is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Tampa Bay.

It's the first day off in May for Diaz, who is in a 3-for-26 rut at the dish. Victor Caratini will handle catching duties and bat fifth for the Astros.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

It's a routine day off for Diaz, as Martin Maldonado will bat ninth and catch for Dylan Cease. Diaz has slashed .239/.314/.370 with three home runs, six RBI, 14 runs scored and a 10:20 BB:K across 103 plate appearances this season.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Rogers (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in St. Louis, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Rogers has been sidelined since early April with a left oblique strain but is ready to go after playing in four rehab games with Triple-A Toledo. Dillon Dingler has played well since Rogers landed on the shelf, and the two catchers will likely split playing time behind the dish fairly evenly.

Fry (elbow) shifted his rehab assignment Monday from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Double-A Akron.

Fry went 0-for-8 with two walks and three strikeouts over his three contests in rookie ball, which marked his first game action since the Guardians' ALCS matchup with the Yankees last October. The 29-year-old resides on Cleveland's 60-day injured list while he recovers from the UCL revision surgery he underwent on his right elbow last November, which will prevent him from playing defense until 2026. He'll continue to serve as a designated hitter during his rehab assignment and could be a potential platoon mate for Kyle Manzardo with the big club once he's activated him from the IL.
