O'Hoppe got the Angels back into the game with a fourth-inning blast off Sonny Gray. Since returning from a minor hand issue May 6, O'Hoppe has gone 9-for-31 (.290) with eight RBI over eight games. The catcher is at a .268/.321/.402 slash line with three homers, 19 RBI, 15 runs scored, six doubles and a triple over 37 contests this season.

Giants' Patrick Bailey: Back on concussion IL
The Giants placed Bailey on the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday.
Bailey missed the Giants' last two games due to an illness, and he met with a team doctor Monday to determine whether or not his illness was related to the concussion he suffered earlier in May. He'll now return to the 7-day IL and will be eligible to return to action Sunday, though the Giants will likely be more cautious this time around before activating him. Blake Sabol will take over as San Francisco's primary catcher while Bailey is out, and Marco Luciano will come up from Triple-A Sacramento to fill the open roster spot.

Ivan Herrera C | STL
Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: On bench Tuesday
Herrera is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.
Since last taking a seat Thursday, Herrera has slashed .467/.556/.467 in a four-game span. In his absence, Pedro Pages has the start at catcher and will bat eighth.

Danny Jansen C | TEX
Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Good to go Tuesday
Jansen (back) is starting behind the plate and batting fifth Tuesday against the Orioles.
Jansen sat out Monday for the second straight game due to back spasms but is ready to play Tuesday. The fact the 29-year-old is immediately returning to work behind the plate indicates the injury wasn't a serious concern. Jansen has carried a hot bat through nine games in May with a 1.101 OPS in 28 at-bats.

J.T. Realmuto C | PHI
Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Expected back Wednesday
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that he expects Realmuto (knee) to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Realmuto missed a third straight start Tuesday because of right knee soreness. However, he got in a productive workout pregame, and as long as he doesn't have any sort of setback, it appears he'll be back in there for Wednesday's tilt in Philadelphia.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Moreno is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Reds.
Moreno finally clubbed his first home run of the season in Monday's win over Cincinnati, but he'll get a breather a day later. Tucker Barnhart will do the catching for Slade Cecconi.

Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Works out pregame Tuesday
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Realmuto (knee) did some work on the field and in the batting cage pregame Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Thomson noted that Realmuto's right knee is feeling better, but the skipper was not ready to commit to the catcher returning to the lineup Wednesday. Realmuto is missing a third straight start Tuesday. Garrett Stubbs has been filling in behind the plate for the Phils.

J.T. Realmuto C | PHI
Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Held out again Tuesday
Realmuto (knee) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mets.
It will be the third straight start Realmuto has missed as he deals with right knee soreness. There doesn't seem to be concern yet about a potential injured-list stint for Realmuto, but the possibility certainly increases the more time he misses. Garrett Stubbs will again handle the catching duties for the Phillies on Tuesday.
