    Guardians' David Fry: Goes deep in win

    Fry went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and two walks in Sunday's 7-0 win over the White Sox.

    Fry belted a two-run shot in the fourth inning and later reached base twice more. The breakout utility man has gone 10-for-28 (.357) with four extra-base hits over his last 10 games. Through 27 games, Fry is slashing .309/.437/.515 with three home runs and 14 runs scored.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Goes yard

    Rutschman went 1-for-4 with a solo homer during Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Rutschman notched his sixth long ball of the campaign, tagging Zac Gallen for a solo home run in the sixth inning. After seeing his batting average jump from .254 to .277 last season, Rutschman has taken another step forward at the plate in 2024, slashing .304/.339/.453 with 23 RBI and 21 runs scored across 38 games.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Dealing with illness

    Bailey was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Reds due to a viral illness, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Bailey was a late removal from the team's lineup ahead of their series finale with Cincinnati, which is now understood to have been the result of an illness. If the catcher is forced to miss any further time, Blake Sabol will likely operate as the team's exclusive catcher.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Scratched from lineup Sunday

    Bailey has been scratched from the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Bailey was set to start at DH and bat in the cleanup spot, but he has since been removed from the lineup. Wilmer Flores will take over as the designated hitter Sunday and will bat fourth against Reds right-hander Frankie Montas.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Sitting Sunday

    D'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Mets.

    D'Arnaud will get a breather Sunday after starting in each of the last four games. He's gone 4-for-18 in May but has registered a hit in each of his last three contests. Chadwick Tromp will start behind the plate and bat ninth against Mets right-hander Luis Severino.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Getting Sunday off

    Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    After catching each of the past four days, Raleigh will get a breather for the series finale. Seby Zavala will get the starting nod behind the dish Sunday.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Taking seat Sunday

    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Giants.

    Stephenson started behind the plate in each of the first two games of the series, going 1-for-7 with one walk and three strikeouts. Luke Maile will start at catcher for the series finale Sunday, while Mike Ford serves as the designated hitter.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Getting day off

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Naylor will get a rest for the series finale after he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout while logging eight innings behind the plate in Saturday's 3-1 loss. David Fry will fill in for Naylor behind the dish.

  • Alex Jackson C | MIN

    Rays' Alex Jackson: Returning to bench Sunday

    Jackson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Jackson had started behind the plate in each of the past three games, but he struck out in all six of his at-bats during that stretch while drawing a walk in his lone other plate appearance. One of his starts came against a lefty and another came versus a righty (Chris Flexen) with reverse splits, so the right-handed-hitting Jackson still looks to be in the short side of a platoon at catcher with the lefty-hitting Ben Rortvedt, who rejoins the lineup Sunday.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Heading to bench Sunday

    Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    With lefty Tyler Alexander on the hill for the Rays, the lefty-hitting Wells will exit the lineup for the series finale. Jose Trevino will spell Wells behind the plate.
