Feduccia is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Mariners.

Feduccia has been starting at catcher against most right-handers, but he'll begin Monday's tilt on the bench as the Mariners send righty Luis Castillo to the bump. Nick Fortes will do the catching and bat eighth.

The Orioles recalled Handley from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Handley will provide the Orioles with a third catching option in September, joining Samuel Basallo and Alex Jackson. The 27-year-old has previously logged 41 plate appearances with the Orioles earlier this season, slashing .073/.133/.073 with three RBI and two runs in 16 games.

The Yankees recalled Escarra from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

Escarra is back with the Yankees with the active roster expanding from 26 to 28 men. He's previously appeared in 40 games with the Yankees this season, slashing .202/.296/.333 with two home runs, one stolen base, 11 RBI and five runs across 98 plate appearances. Escarra will likely be in line for limited playing time at catcher while both Austin Wells and Ben Rice are available.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

The Athletics are playing their second afternoon game in a row, and Langeliers has now checked out of the lineup for both contests. The team hasn't indicated that Langeliers is nursing an injury, so the consecutive absences could stem from a desire to manage his workload. While serving as a catcher or designated hitter, Langeliers has started in 101 of the Athletics' first 139 games of the season.

Crooks is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Athletics.

Crooks drew his first major-league start in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Reds and cranked his first big-league home run, but he finds himself back on the bench a day later. The young catcher has started just one of four games since being recalled from Triple-A Memphis. Pedro Pages will catch and bat seventh for St. Louis on Monday.

Astros manager Joe Espada said that Caratini (concussion) could be reinstated from the 7-day injured list as soon as Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Caratini seems to be making good progress in his recovery from a concussion, with Espada noting that the backstop did some running and threw to the bases Monday. The Astros don't seem to be planning on sending Caratini out on a rehab assignment, so he could be activated Wednesday if he remains clear of concussion symptoms coming out of Monday's workout.

The Rockies recalled Romo from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Romo will hit the big leagues for the first time in 2025 after slashing .264/.329/.409 with seven home runs over 60 games at Albuquerque. He will serve as the Rockies' third catcher during the final month of the season.

O'Hoppe is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Houston, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe will give way to Travis d'Arnaud at catcher for the second day in a row after he had started each of the previous three games. The 25-year-old O'Hoppe had a dreadful August, slashing .129/.169/.194 with a 34.8 percent strikeout rate.

The Mariners selected Ford's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

One of the best catching prospects in the game, Ford is now the third backstop on Seattle's roster, joining Cal Raleigh and Mitch Garver. The 22-year-old Ford earned the call-up after slashing .283/.408/.460 with 16 home runs and seven steals in 97 games at Triple-A. Despite being one of the youngest players at Triple-A, Ford's 0.84 BB/K is the 15th-best mark among qualified Triple-A hitters, and his seven steals were the second-most among Triple-A backstops.

The Royals selected Jensen's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

One of the top catching prospects in all of baseball, Jensen will join the Royals for September after he delivered a .290/.377/.501 slash line with 20 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 111 games between Omaha and Double-A Northwest Arkansas this season. The Royals' immediate plans for Jensen aren't clear, but the team's willingness to frequently use top backstop Salvador Perez at designated hitter or first base could pave the way for Jensen to see semi-regular playing time at catcher or DH. Jensen bats from the left side, so the Royals may look to limit his exposure to southpaws over the final month of the season.
