  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Three hits in Wednesday's win

    Bailey went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-5 extra-inning win over the Pirates.

    This was Bailey's first start since he was activated from the concussion injured list Tuesday. He appeared off the bench in that contest, going 0-for-1. Bailey went on the IL twice due to the concussion, but he looks to have the all-clear this time and should resume a starting role behind the plate over Curt Casali. Bailey is slashing .295/.350/.466 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored, six doubles and one stolen base across 101 plate appearances this season.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Slugs 11th homer

    Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Raleigh leads all major-league catchers with 11 homers this season, though he hadn't hit one out since May 11. This was his only hit over 10 at-bats across the last three games after a stretch in which he went 9-for-30 in an eight-game span. Raleigh is up to a .219/.299/.458 slash line with 28 RBI, 24 runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 174 plate appearances this season.

  • Blake Hunt C | SD

    Orioles' Blake Hunt: Shipped to Baltimore

    The Orioles acquired Hunt from the Mariners on Wednesday in exchange for right-hander Mike Baumann and catcher Michael Perez.

    Hunt has spent all season in Triple-A, slashing .293/.372/.533 with four homers and 20 RBI across 86 plate appearances. The 25-year-old backstop has yet to make his MLB debut, though it's possible he gets the chance to do so in Baltimore if the O's decide to replace James McCann with Hunt as Adley Rutschman's backup.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Another multi-hit game

    Realmuto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two additional RBI and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 11-4 win over the Rangers.

    Realmuto has generated a hit in 12 consecutive games and has reached via hit multiple times in six of those contests. However, Wednesday's solo homer off Dane Dunning was his first of that stretch and his three RBI were his most since April. Realmuto is batting .377 with three doubles and 11 runs scored during his hit streak.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Resting Wednesday

    Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Lee will hit the bench after starting each of the previous four games, with three coming behind the plate. Martin Maldonado will fill in for Lee at catcher Wednesday.

  • Curt Casali C | ATL

    Giants' Curt Casali: Moving to bench with Bailey back

    Casali is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Casali had started behind the plate in each of the previous three games, but he'll likely see his opportunities dwindle after Patrick Bailey (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. The journeyman backstop has fared well through the first four starts of his second stint with the Giants, going 4-for-16 with four walks, three runs and two RBI.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Heads to bench Wednesday

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    After starting three straight games -- all against right-handed pitching -- from Saturday through Monday, Trevino now finds himself on the bench against a righty (Bryce Miller) for the second contest in a row. Trevino still holds a sizable edge over fellow catcher Austin Wells in OPS for the season (.776 to .620), but manager Aaron Boone doesn't appear ready to move Wells into a pure backup role just yet.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Resting Wednesday

    Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Jansen will get a breather for the series finale after he was behind the plate both of the previous two days. Alejandro Kirk will draw the start at catcher Wednesday.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Notches first steal Tuesday

    Langeliers went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in a win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

    The slugging backstop got it done a bit differently Tuesday, with Langeliers showing some solid plate discipline while recording his second multi-walk effort of the season, both which have come within the last week. Langeliers' steal was also his first of the campaign, and with the pair of free passes, he's now reached safely in six consecutive games.

  • Pirates' Yasmani Grandal: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Grandal (groin) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Giants.

    Grandal was removed late in Tuesday's 7-6 win with left groin soreness. He has avoided the injured list for the time being, though the Pirates have added catcher Grant Koch to their taxi squad as protection in case the team needs to move another backstop onto the 26-man active roster. Joey Bart will handle the catching duties Wednesday in Grandal's stead.
