  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: On bench Friday

    Basallo is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Basallo inked an eight-year extension with the Orioles earlier Friday, and he'll get the night off to rest after what interim manager Tony Mansolino called a "rigorous" medical examination leading up to the extension. The 21-year-old had started in three of four games since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, and he should be a near-everyday player going forward.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: On bench Friday

    Narvaez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    Narvaez will yield to Connor Wong behind the plate Friday after starting in three of the Red Sox's previous four games. Narvaez is working through a 3-for-29 (.103) slump at the dish.

  • Luis Torrens DH | NYM

    Mets' Luis Torrens: Not starting again Friday

    Torrens is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

    After starting the first two games at catcher following the injury to Francisco Alvarez (thumb), Torrens has now been on the bench for two straight contests in favor of Hayden Senger. It's possible the two could split catching duties fairly evenly while Alvarez is out.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Getting breather

    Pages is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

    After starting at catcher in the series opener Thursday, Pages will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. Yohel Pozo will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Cardinals.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Recalled from Triple-A

    The White Sox recalled Lee from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    Lee will join the active roster ahead of Friday's game against the Twins. The 27-year-old will be the third catcher on the depth chart behind rookies Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero. Lee has been in the minors since early June. Josh Rojas was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Exiting starting nine

    Goodman is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Pittsburgh.

    Goodman was initially slated for a day off Thursday versus the Dodgers before being a late addition to the lineup. He'll now receive that breather in the first game of the Rockies' road trip, yielding catching duties to Braxton Fulford.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Idle Friday

    Bart is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

    Bart will yield to Henry Davis behind the dish for the third time in four games. Bart had started three of the previous four contests. He's slashing .248/.353/.321 in 272 plate appearances this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Activated from 60-day IL

    The Diamondbacks activated Moreno (finger) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Moreno wound up being sidelined for more than two months with a fractured finger, but he's ready to roll after going 8-for-20 with a pair of home runs in six rehab contests with Triple-A Reno. The 25-year-old will resume his role as Arizona's primary catcher.

  • Jose Herrera C | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Diamondbacks designated Herrera for assignment Friday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    The team needed to free up spots on its 26-man and 40-man rosters for the return of Gabriel Moreno (finger), and Herrera is the odd man out. Herrera has managed just a .200/.280/.259 batting line across parts of four seasons at the major-league level, but with teams always looking for catching depth, it's possible he draws interest on waivers.

  • Ali Sanchez C | BOS

    Mets' Ali Sanchez: Signs with Mets after electing FA

    The Mets signed Sanchez to a minor-league contract Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Sanchez elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Monday. He'll latch on with the Mets and provide some additional catching depth. The 28-year-old has also spent time with the Blue Jays this season, and he slashed .279/.347/.419 in 199 plate appearances with their Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo. Sanchez has appeared in just nine MLB games in 2025.
