Goodman went 3-for-5 on Friday against the Cubs.

Goodman tallied three singles to record his first multi-hit game in his last five starts. He's still wrapping up an excellent August, as he's racked up seven home runs with 16 RBI and 13 runs scored while hitting .265 across 83 at-bats.

Pages went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Reds.

The backstop gave the Cardinals a 3-0 lead when he took Zack Littell deep in the second inning. Pages has been splitting the workload at catcher with Yohel Pozo (concussion), and he could see a bump in playing time while Jimmy Crooks is getting his first look at the big leagues as the team's No. 2 option. Over 16 games in August, Pages is slashing an impressive .352/.407/.648 with four of his 10 homers on the season, along with nine runs and 14 RBI.

Dingler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Royals.

Dingler delivered his 12th home run of the season in the eighth inning to help give the Tigers some breathing room. The Detroit catcher is having a strong offensive season with a .272 batting average and .751 OPS across 105 games, and he's batting .273 with an .818 OPS in his last 10 contests. Dingler batted just .167 with a .505 OPS across 27 regular-season games as a rookie in 2024.

Stephenson (thumb) took batting practice Friday, MLB.com reports.

Stephenson also caught and blocked balls using a glove fitted with a thumb guard, as he continued to increase his level of activity. He soon could catch for a pitcher on flat ground. Per manager Terry Francona, Stephenson is pushing the recovery while the medical staff is trying to prevent a setback and added "he's doing pretty well."

Heim went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a second RBI and a walk in Friday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Heim opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and added his solo shot in the fifth to put the Rangers ahead for good. The homer was his first since July 25. Heim has been a little steadier at the plate lately, going 10-for-28 (.357) with five RBI over his last nine games. Kyle Higashioka has done enough to maintain the starting role behind the dish, and Heim's other path to playing time at designated hitter is only open as a short-side platoon spot, as Joc Pederson has also swung a hot bat lately. For the season, Heim is batting .222 with a .620 OPS, 10 homers, 40 RBI, 30 runs scored, 13 doubles and three stolen bases over 372 plate appearances.

Rutschman (oblique) has not yet resumed swinging but is hopeful to return before the end of the regular season, MLB.com reports.

The last-place Orioles hope that Rutschman will be recovered from an oblique strain with around 10 days or two weeks before the end of the season, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, so fantasy managers shouldn't anticipate the star catcher being a factor until mid-September at the earliest. With Gary Sanchez (knee) also on the injured list, the lefty-hitting Samuel Basallo should continue working on the strong side of a platoon with the righty-hitting Alex Jackson behind the dish.

Moreno will start at catcher and bat fifth against the Dodgers on Friday.

James McCann (undisclosed) was scratched from the D-backs' lineup shortly before first pitch Friday, so Moreno -- originally scheduled for a day off -- will step into the lineup to catch for right-hander Zac Gallen. The 25-year-old backstop has produced four multi-hit performances and owns a 1.123 OPS in five games since returning from the injured list Aug. 20.

McCann was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Dodgers.

The Diamondbacks haven't provided a reason as to why McCann was taken out of the starting nine, but the team should offer some clarity in the near future. In the meantime, Gabriel Moreno will catch for starter Zac Gallen and bat fifth.

Kelly isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

The 31-year-old will surrender a second consecutive start at catcher to Reese McGuire on Friday after having started three straight games behind the dish. Kelly has been in a bit of a slump lately, slashing just .224/.288/.224 with six RBI and two runs scored in 21 games since Aug. 1.

Moreno isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Moreno will catch a breather Friday after going 4-for-13 with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored during Arizona's last series in Milwaukee. James McCann will draw the start behind home plate instead and bat sixth.
