  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Taking seat Sunday

    Rushing is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Rushing will rest up for Sunday's afternoon game after he had started behind the plate in each of the previous three games. Eliezer Alfonzo will handle catching duties for the Dodgers.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Resting Sunday

    Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Davis will receive a breather for the afternoon contest after starting the first two games of the series. Shawn Ross will pick up his first MLB start at catcher Sunday while Davis rests.

  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Resting up Sunday

    Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Ruiz will take a seat for the afternoon game after he was behind the plate for all nine innings of Saturday's 5-3 win. Harry Ford will draw the start at catcher in the series finale.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Resting up Sunday

    Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Wong will take a seat for the series finale after he went 1-for-6 with four strikeouts Friday and Saturday. Carlos Narvaez will get the nod at catcher Sunday.

  • Sam Huff C | BAL

    Orioles' Sam Huff: Losing work behind plate

    Huff is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    The 28-year-old made consecutive starts for the Orioles earlier in the week after Adley Rutschman (wrist) and Samuel Basallo (shoulder) landed on the injured list within two days of one another, but Chadwick Tromp has since supplanted Huff as Baltimore's preferred option behind the plate in the short term. Huff has gone just 4-for-32 (.125) with 19 strikeouts in 13 games with the Orioles this season.

  • Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Serving as temporary No. 1 catcher

    Tromp will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    He'll make a fourth consecutive start and appears to have supplanted Sam Huff as the Orioles' top option behind the plate while both Adley Rutschman (wrist) and Samuel Basallo (shoulder) are on the injured list. The owner of a career .218/.225/.360 slash line over parts of seven seasons in the big leagues, Tromp won't warrant much attention outside of AL-only leagues while he's operating as the Orioles' No. 1 backstop.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: On bench Sunday

    Jensen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Detroit.

    Jensen started the first nine games coming out of the All-Star break and will receive a breather Sunday after posting an .850 OPS with five doubles, one homer, three RBI and three runs during that span. Luke Maile will step in behind the plate for the series finale versus the Tigers while Jensen rests.

  • Brian Serven C | ATH

    Athletics' Brian Serven: Rejoins big club

    The Athletics recalled Serven from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

    The 31-year-old had two brief stays in the majors during the first half of July and may now get a longer opportunity due to Shea Langeliers (knee) landing on the injured list with a torn meniscus. Serven has gone 1-for-4 in two big-league games this season, though he's been productive in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League for Las Vegas with a .939 OPS in 61 contests. He'll serve as the backup catcher to fill-in starter Jonah Heim.

  • Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Resting versus lefty

    Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    The left-handed hitter will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Guardians send Parker Messick to the bump. Nick Fortes will get the nod over Feduccia behind the dish.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Moves to 10-day IL

    The Athletics placed Langeliers on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a torn meniscus in his right knee.

    The transaction is hardly a surprise after Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reported earlier Sunday that that the injury could keep the catcher out for the remainder of the season. The Athletics have yet to reveal if Langeliers will undergo surgery, but in the likely event he does, his 2026 campaign would come to an early end. Brian Serven was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to take Langeliers' place on the 26-man active roster, while Jonah Heim is poised to step in as the Athletics' primary backstop.
