Del Castillo isn't in Arizona's lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

With Yusei Kikuchi slated to start for Houston, the lefty-hitting Del Castillo will retreat to the bench Saturday. Jose Herrera (head) will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth.

Langeliers isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Langeliers will get to rest Saturday after going 1-for-6 during Friday's 13-inning series opener. Kyle McCann will catch instead for Brady Basso while batting ninth.

Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Yankees.

Amaya will get a day to regroup after going 0-for-9 across his last three games. Christian Bethancourt will take over behind the dish and bat ninth.

Wells went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Friday's 3-0 win against the Cubs.

Wells returned from a two-game absence after taking a hit-by-pitch on the hand Monday. The backstop accounted for the bulk of New York's scoring Friday with a two-run single in the third inning. Now that he's back in action, Wells will likely start behind the plate most of the time when the Yankees face right-handed starters while Jose Trevino is expected to get the call against most southpaws.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said following Friday night's game that Herrera (head) "got through his testing just fine," MLB.com reports.

Herrera was accidentally hit on the top of his helmet by Kyle Tucker's backswing and removed from Friday's game. The manager added that Herrera is penciled into Saturday's lineup. According to Lovullo, the catcher lobbied to remain in the game, and that his removal was strictly for precautionary reasons.

O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer Friday's 5-1 victory over the Rangers.

The Angels backstop stretched the team's lead to 5-0 with a 410-foot, three-run homer off Jose Urena in the sixth inning. After batting an abominable .099 (9-for-91) with just two homers in August, O'Hoppe has already slugged two long balls in September as he breaks out of his slump. Overall, the 24-year-old is slashing .242/.299/.413 with 19 homers, 55 runs scored and 54 RBI in 463 plate appearances across 120 games.

Herrera exited Friday's game against Houston after being hit on the top of his mask by a backswing, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Kyle Tucker accidentally connected with Herrera's mask in the fifth inning. The catcher exited the game after being assessed by trainers on the field and was replaced by Adrian Del Castillo.

Realmuto (knee) exited Friday's game against the Marlins, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto remained in the game briefly after fouling a ball off his left knee in the second inning. However, he was lifted in favor of Garrett Stubbs in the fourth frame. The severity of the issue is unclear, but the Phillies will likely be cautious with the 33-year-old catcher given their big lead in the NL East.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

Jeffers will get what looks like a routine breather after three straight starts, including two starts behind the plate in the past three days. Christian Vazquez will catch for starting pitcher Zebby Matthews.

Del Castillo is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

The lefty-hitting Del Castillo will begin Friday's contest in the dugout with Houston sending southpaw Framber Valdez to the mound. Since being called up to the big club Aug. 6, Del Castillo is slashing .277/.347/.446 with three home runs and 14 RBI across 72 plate appearances. Jose Herrera will start behind home plate and bat ninth.
