  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Held out Wednesday

    Wells (hand) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rangers.

    Wells has now missed two starts in a row after being hit on the right hand by a pitch Monday. X-rays came back negative and he is likely aiming for a return Friday versus the Cubs following a team off day Thursday. Jose Trevino will do the catching again for the Yankees in Wednesday's series finale.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: More timely hitting Tuesday

    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a second two-bagger in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.

    One day after driving in two runs with his 28th homer in a series-opening loss, Raleigh was once again one of the few bright spots for the Mariners in a second consecutive defeat. The backstop's first-inning double drove home J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez to open the scoring, and those would turn out to be the only runs of the night for the light-hitting Seattle lineup. Raleigh appears to have an outside chance at a 100-RBI campaign if he keeps up the timely knocks, as he's now sitting 16 RBI away from the triple-digit threshold with 23 games remaining.

  • Austin Nola C | KC

    Royals' Austin Nola: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Royals outrighted Nola to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Nola cleared waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster and will remain in the organization as catching depth. The 34-year-old has spent all of 2024 at Omaha, slashing just .158/.247/.301 line in 46 games.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Clubs homer in loss

    O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 6-2 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.

    O'Hoppe opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo shot off Walker Buehler. Over the previous nine games, O'Hoppe went just 1-for-30 with a 1:18 BB:K. The catcher has put together a good year with 18 homers, 51 RBI, 53 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .242/.300/.409 slash line over 118 contests, but it's possible he's wearing down under a heavy workload in his first full and healthy major-league campaign.

  • Cubs' Christian Bethancourt: Records steal Tuesday

    Bethancourt went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates.

    Bethancourt has hit safely in his last five games, going 7-for-17 (.412) with 10 RBI and two steals in that span. A seven-RBI game last Wednesday versus the Pirates has fueled much of his recent success. The backup catcher is now at a .224/.262/.414 slash line with three steals, five home runs, 22 RBI and 18 runs scored over 51 contests between the Cubs and the Marlins this season.
