MLB Player News

The Marlins activated Hicks (back) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

The 27-year-old has been dealing with a lower-back strain but is ready to rejoin the Marlins after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Miami has yet to release its starting nine for Tuesday's contest, but Hicks should immediately reclaim a prominent spot in the lineup.

Rutschman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

Rutschman started each of the last two days after being activated from the 7-day concussion injured list, but he'll get a breather Tuesday. Samuel Basallo is doing the catching for the Orioles.

Bodine has been promoted from High-A Bowling Green to Double-A Montgomery, Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay News reports.

Bodine began the season at Single-A Charleston, and between two stops he's collected a .360/.422/.545 batting line with nine home runs and a 25:16 BB:K over 65 games. The 22-year-old's .360 batting average and 5.3 percent strikeout rate lead all minor leaguers. Bodine was taken in the first round of the 2025 First-Year Player Draft by the Orioles before being traded to the Rays over the offseason in the Shane Baz deal.

Goodman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in a loss to the Marlins on Monday.

Goodman continued his power binge with a 442-foot solo shot to left-center field in the seventh inning. The backstop has now gone deep five times over his past four contests, with a three-homer game against Minnesota on Saturday providing the bulk of those long balls. Goodman ranks second in the majors with 26 home runs overall, and he's already five away from the impressive 31 homers he slugged across 144 contests in his breakout campaign last year.

Caratini went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks against Houston in a 5-4 victory Monday.

Caratini went back-to-back with Royce Lewis in the fourth inning to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. After going deep just three times over his first 52 contests of the campaign, Caratini has swatted four home runs across his past 10 games. He's had a standout June, batting .355 with five homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and a 9:11 BB:K over 19 contests. Ryan Jeffers (hand) could return to action at some point in July, but Caratini may have done enough in Jeffers' absence to retain more than a typical backup's workload.

Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and an additional RBI in Monday's 11-7 win over the Phillies.

Rodriguez piled up a season-high RBI in his eighth multi-hit game of the season. The 25-year-old backstop has soundly outproduced Henry Davis as Pittsburgh's top catcher, and his stay atop the depth chart was solidified when the Pirates traded away Joey Bart earlier in June. Since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, Rodriguez is slashing .271/.404/.482 with four big flies, six doubles, 15 RBI and two stolen bases over 105 plate appearances.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Diaz will get a breather for the series opener after he started in each of the Astros' last three games. Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties Monday.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

The Cubs will keep Kelly on the bench for the second game in a row, affording Miguel Amaya another turn behind the plate after he went 1-for-2 with a double in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers. Kelly has been serviceable throughout the season with a .276/.362/.391 slash line across 218 plate appearances and still appears to be the Cubs' No. 1 catcher.

Duran is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

For about a two-week stretch earlier this month, Duran served as the Padres' No. 1 catcher, but he's faded into more of a timeshare since Freddy Fermin returned from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Though Fermin and Duran have now started three times apiece over the last six games, the playing time will likely tilt more in Fermin's direction once he's further removed from a concussion.

Kirk is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Kirk will be given a breather after he started at catcher in the final two games of the Blue Jays' weekend series versus the Rangers. Brandon Valenzuela will step in behind the plate Monday and form a battery with starting pitcher Trey Yesavage.
