Jeffers (head) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Royals.

Jeffers was removed from the game Thursday after taking a foul ball off his mask. With Jeffers needing at least another day to recover, Mickey Gasper is behind the dish at catcher and batting seventh.

Stephenson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Stephenson went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in his return from the injured list Friday, and the Reds will sit him down Saturday in order to ease him back into MLB action. Jose Trevino will catch instead for starter Brady Singer and bat eighth.

Adams isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Adams will retreat to the bench Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a walk during Friday's loss. Jorge Alfaro will fill in as Washington's catcher and bat third.

Navarreto launched a two-run home run as a pinch hitter in Friday's loss to the Phillies.

Entering the game in the eighth inning with the Marlins getting routed 9-1, Navarreto got hold of a Tanner Banks fastball for his first career big-league homer. It was the first appearance for the 30-year-old backstop since he was added to the roster at the beginning of September, and his playing time will likely remain scarce with Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks getting most of the catcher reps for Miami.

Kirk isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

After going 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored Friday, Kirk will step aside while Tyler Heineman catches for Chris Bassitt and bats ninth.

Basallo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

The rookie swatted his second career homer and his first at home in Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and he made it count -- with the score tied 1-1 and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Basallo crushed a Tanner Scott fastball 433 feet over the fence in right-center field. The 21-year-old is still adjusting to big-league pitching, but his upside is undeniable, and through his first 15 games with the O's he's slashing .204/.271/.389 with four doubles, nine RBI and a 4:13 BB:K.

Stephenson started at catcher and went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mets.

Stephenson was activated from the injured list Friday and will cope with a fractured thumb going forward. His mitt has been fitted for a thumb guard, so Stephenson will be able to start behind the plate while also serving as a designated hitter, something he's done 17 times in 2025.

Goodman went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a walk in Friday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

Goodman has rattled off three straight three-hit games, and he has four of them over his last six contests. He's also racked up 10 RBI in that longer span, which has all been at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The catcher is up to a .285/.331/.538 slash line with 28 homers, 85 RBI, 66 runs scored, 25 doubles, four triples and one stolen base over 124 games this season.

Rushing was pulled from Friday's game versus Baltimore with a right lower-leg contusion.

Rushing needed to be helped off the field after fouling a ball off his leg in the sixth inning, but the fact that the Dodgers are calling his injury a bruise suggests he managed to escape without any fractures. Los Angeles is expected to be without Will Smith (hand) for the entirety of the series against the O's, so Rushing's injury could spell increased playing time for Ben Rortvedt.

Rushing was removed from Friday's game against the Orioles with a right shin/knee injury, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Rushing was in quite a bit of pain after fouling a ball off his right leg in the sixth inning, and he had to be carried off the field by the Dodgers' training staff. The team will take a closer look at him to determine if he suffered any fractures as a result of the incident and should offer an update in the near future. With Will Smith (hand) also nursing an injury, Ben Rortvedt could be in line to make a few starts behind the plate over the next several days.
