  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Injures quad Friday

    Trevino suffered a quadriceps injury during Friday's win over the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Trevino was replaced behind the dish in the ninth inning after scoring a run in the top of the frame, and he was later seen limping out of the dugout during a bench-clearing scrum between the two teams. He's slated to undergo an evaluation Saturday, at which point the Yankees will have a better idea of how much time -- if any -- the 31-year-old backstop will miss.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Exits due to cramps

    Perez was removed from Friday's game against the Red Sox due to cramping.

    The Royals didn't specify where exactly Perez was hurting, but he was apparently in enough discomfort to warrant his removal in the eighth inning. His status for Saturday's contest is unclear, though it's possible he receives a day off in order to manage the issue.

  • Padres' Brett Sullivan: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Padres optioned Sullivan to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

    Sullivan is the odd man out for San Diego following the return of Xander Bogaerts (shoulder), who was reinstated from the IL on Friday. Sullivan was rarely able to see the field while behind Luis Campusano and Kyle Higashioka on the depth chart at catcher, appearing in just four games since being recalled from the minors June 22. He'll return to being organizational depth at Triple-A.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Sitting Friday

    Jansen isn't in Toronto's lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Jansen will get a breather during Friday's series opener after going 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Giants. Alejandro Kirk will get the nod at catcher and bat sixth.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Sitting Friday

    Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Padres.

    Murphy started three of four games during a series against the Diamondbacks this week, going 3-for-11 with one walk, one home run and three RBI. He'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout while Travis d'Arnaud starts behind the plate and bats eighth against Padres knuckleballer Matt Waldron.

  • Tomas Nido C | DET

    Cubs' Tomas Nido: Not starting Friday

    Nido is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Riding pine Friday

    Wells is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

    The lefty-hitting Wells will take a seat Friday with southpaw Cade Povich on the bump for Baltimore. Jose Trevino will bat eighth in his place.

  • Bo Naylor C | MIL

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: On bench Friday

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

  • David Fry LF | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Out of lineup Friday

    Fry is absent from the starting nine for Friday's game against the Rays.

  • Ivan Herrera DH | STL

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Activated, sent to Triple-A

    The Cardinals activated Herrera (back) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Memphis.

    Herrera has been shelved since June 22 due to soreness in his lower back, and although he's now healthy, the 24-year-old won't rejoin the big-league roster. Pedro Pages will handle backup catching duties behind Willson Contreras in St. Louis.
