  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Getting afternoon off

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Jose Herrera will get the nod behind the dish for the day game after Moreno started the first two contests of the series. Moreno is hitting a respectable .267 so far this season, but he hasn't supplemented the batting average with useful counting statistics (five runs, one RBI in 11 games).

  • Elias Diaz C | TEX

    Padres' Elias Diaz: Sitting again Wednesday

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Diaz will take a seat for the second day in a row while he's gotten off to a rough start to the 2025 season with a .208/.296/.208 slash line over eight games. The Padres will give Martin Maldonado another turn behind the dish Wednesday, though Diaz is still presumably viewed as the club's No. 1 backstop.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: On bench Wednesday

    Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Kelly will get some rest for the day game after a night game, allowing Miguel Amaya to receive a turn behind the plate. The veteran backstop has gotten off to a red-hot start to the 2025 season, slashing .333/.500/.762 with an 8:3 BB:K over 30 plate appearances.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Exits starting nine

    Trevino is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco.

    Trevino started each of the first two games of the series but will grab a seat for Wednesday's finale. Austin Wynns will do the catching and bat ninth for the Reds.

  • Brian Serven C | ATH

    Tigers' Brian Serven: Starting rehab assignment

    Serven (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Serven has been cleared for game action after suffering a left oblique strain in early March. He will eventually be assigned to Triple-A Toledo, where he'll offer catching depth.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Out at least one month

    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday that he expects Rogers (oblique) to be sidelined for at least a month, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Hinch indicated that the timetable he provided was an approximation, but at the very least, it's not going to be a minimum-length stay on the 10-day injured list for the catcher. Dillon Dingler will be the Tigers' primary backstop while Rogers is on the shelf.

  • Luis Torrens C | NYM

    Mets' Luis Torrens: Held out again Wednesday

    Torrens (forearm) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    Torrens hasn't started a game since Friday due to a right forearm bruise. An MRI Tuesday came back negative, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, and the Mets have no plans at this point to place him on the 10-day injured list, so Torrens will aim to return to action Friday versus the Athletics following the Mets' team off day Thursday. Hayden Senger will catch and bat ninth Wednesday.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Getting Wednesday off

    Wells is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Wells will take a seat for just the second time in 12 games this season as the Yankees wrap up their series in Detroit with a matinee contest. J.C. Escarra will receive the start behind the plate, catching for starting pitcher Max Fried.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Goes yard, should play regularly

    Dingler went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Yankees.

    With Jake Rogers suffering an oblique strain while warming up prior to the game and landing on the injured list, Dingler stepped into the lineup and should see the bulk of the playing time behind the dish for the foreseeable future. He made the most of his appointment into the starting nine Tuesday, capping a three-run fourth inning with a solo blast off Carlos Carrasco. Despite having been on the shorter end of a timeshare with Rogers through the first 11 games of the season, Dingler ranks second on the team with seven RBI.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Smacks first homer in rout

    Contreras went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Colorado.

    Contreras first drove in Jackson Chourio on a single in the third inning, and he later smacked his first homer of the season in the seventh inning to put the Brewers in front 7-1. The star backstop is still slashing just .143/.286/.229 with two RBI over 42 plate appearances so far, but he does have six runs scored and seven walks through his first 10 outings.
