The Mariners reinstated Raleigh (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

After missing over a month of action as a result of being placed on the IL on May 14, Raleigh is back with the big-league club. The catcher completed a five-game rehab assignment between High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma before being cleared to return to Seattle. In order to make room on the roster for Raleigh, the Mariners optioned Jhonny Pereda to Tacoma.

Caratini is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

The switch-hitting Caratini had drawn five straight starts at catcher against right-handed pitching, but he will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Alex Jackson is drawing a second consecutive start behind the dish for the Twins.

The Astros optioned Price to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

After a less-than-two-week stint with the big-league club, Price will make his way back down to Sugar Land. In just 13 plate-appearances, the catcher batted .167/.231/.250 with no homers or RBI. Hunter Brown will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list and will replace Price on the active roster.

The Astros activated Diaz (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Diaz has been sidelined since early May while dealing with a left oblique strain, but he's been cleared to return to the active roster after playing three rehab games with Triple-A Sugar Land. The 27-year-old slashed just .235/.255/.347 with two home runs across 106 plate appearances before getting hurt. Diaz should operate as the Astros' primary catcher moving forward, but Christian Vazquez will also be in the mix.

Baldwin (oblique) is back in the starting lineup and batting leadoff for Tuesday's matchup against the Giants.

Baldwin has not been in action since he was placed on the injured list May 19 and will make his return in Tuesday's series opener. Before landing on the injured list, the 25-year-old slashed .303/.389/.543 with 13 homers and 38 RBI. Atlanta's catching depth is already razor thin with Sean Murphy on the 60-day IL, so Baldwin props up the roster in that regard.

Wells (head) has been sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin a rehab assignment.

Wells is ready to participate in games again after going on the 10-day injured list earlier this month with cervical headaches. He's eligible for activation now and hasn't missed much time, so Wells' rehab assignment should be brief.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

It looks to be a routine day off after Ruiz started at catcher the last two days. Drew Millas will be behind the dish and will bat eighth for the Nationals.

Gasper (groin) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Blue Jays.

He'll miss a second straight start after having started each of the previous seven tilts. Gasper is considered day-to-day. Connor Wong will do the catching and Masataka Yoshida will serve as the designated hitter for the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Triple-A St. Paul transferred Olivar from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on June 4 while he recovers from a right knee sprain, Twins writer Brandon Warne reports.

The Twins haven't ruled Olivar out for the season, but he'll be on the shelf through at least the end of July while he recovers from the knee injury. After posting a .978 OPS at Double-A Wichita to begin the campaign, Olivar was promoted to Triple-A on May 20 and had slashed .259/.259/.556 with two home runs, two doubles and one stolen base in seven games for St. Paul before spraining his knee.

Rodriguez went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to the Athletics.

Rodriguez was a bright spot in the loss, blasting a solo homer in the eighth inning to cap off his first three-hit effort of the campaign. The 26-year-old struggled in previous big-league stints in 2023 and 2025 but has looked much more comfortable this time around, slashing .268/.423/.482 with three homers, three doubles, seven RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases across 72 plate appearances since being recalled in mid-May. Joey Bart (foot) is currently on a rehab assignment and should return to the active roster soon, but Rodriguez has performed well enough to retain a share of the playing time behind the dish even after Bart is activated.
