  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Not in lineup

    Naylor is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the White Sox.

    After catching both of the first two games of the series, Naylor will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee. Austin Hedges will start behind the dish as the Guardians try to complete the sweep.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Reaches 30-homer mark

    Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.

    Raleigh got the Mariners on the board early with a first-inning solo home run off Yu Darvish to bring him up to 30 home runs for a second consecutive season. The 27-year-old is batting .333/.378/.667 with three homers, 11 RBI and seven runs over his last eight games and leads the Mariners by a wide margin in home runs and RBI. For the year, he's slashing .213/.304/.431 with 45 extra-base hits, 91 RBI, 64 runs, six steals and a 60:161 BB:K in 553 plate appearances.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Sitting out afternoon game

    Lee is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    Lee started each of the previous three contests, but he'll get a breather Wednesday as the White Sox and Guardians wrap up their series with an afternoon game. Chuckie Robinson will catch and bat eighth.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Collects pair of doubles in loss

    Wong went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Baltimore.

    Wong hit safely for a fourth consecutive game and is 7-for-17 with five extra-base hits during the streak. He's experienced a production drop over July and August, but Wong's .287/.338/.439 line out of the catcher's slot still plays for fantasy managers.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Ramps up activity

    Moreno (adductor) has begun running at 80 percent and is scheduled to catch a bullpen session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    Moreno is ramping up toward a potential mid-month return. The catcher has been sidelined since Aug. 5 when he suffered a strained left adductor while running out a single. Arizona is getting by with a combination of Adrian Del Castillo and Jose Herrera behind the dish.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Taking seat Tuesday

    Smith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Smith will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Monday's series opener. Austin Barnes will replace him behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Rays' Logan Driscoll: Back in action Tuesday

    Driscoll (quad) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Phillies.

    Driscoll had to be pulled from his last start Saturday with a bruised left quad, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The catcher is 2-for-10 with a couple RBI in his first three major-league games.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Scratched due to illness

    Dingler was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies due to an illness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.comreports.

    Dingler is one of a handful of Tigers players feeling under the weather and won't start as scheduled Tuesday. The 25-year-old will be available off the bench and should rejoin the starting nine within the next couple days.

  • Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Playing time slipping

    Del Castillo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Del Castillo has now started just two of the last six contests for the Diamondbacks. They've faced three lefties over that stretch, but the left-handed hitting Del Castillo has also been out of the lineup twice versus righties, including on Tuesday against Nathan Eovaldi. Jose Herrera will catch and bat ninth for Arizona.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Homers, swipes two bags Monday

    Naylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two stolen bases in Monday's 5-3 win against the White Sox.

    Naylor belted a 428-foot homer in the fourth inning to set a new career high with 12 long balls on the campaign. The catcher also swiped a bag in both the sixth and eighth frames to record his first multi-theft game of the season. In addition, Naylor's multi-hit performance was his first since Aug. 24 -- he came in batting .174 (4-for-23) over his previous 10 contests.
