  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Getting Monday off

    Davis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Davis will take a seat for the series opener in Milwaukee after he started behind the plate in three of the Pirates' four games versus the Reds this past weekend. Joey Bart will get the nod at catcher and will bat seventh Monday.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Taking seat Monday

    Wells is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    Wells will get a breather for the series opener while Ben Rice steps in behind the plate. Dating back to the All-Star break, Wells has posted a lowly .130/.186/.204 slash line over 16 games. His ongoing struggles could cost him more playing time if the Yankees are comfortable using Rice behind the plate more frequently in order to open up first base for Paul Goldschmidt.

  • Yohel Pozo C | STL

    Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Taking seat again Monday

    Pozo is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Rockies.

    Pozo looked like he might be inching ahead of Pedro Pages in the Cardinals' catcher pecking order earlier this month, but it will be Pages behind the dish Monday for the fourth time across the last five contests.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Regaining playing time behind plate

    Pages will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rockies.

    With four starts behind the plate in the last five games, Pages appears to have at least temporarily wrested the primary catching gig away from Yohel Pozo. Already regarded as the superior defensive catcher of the two, Pages has helped his case for earning more playing time by running hot at the dish to begin August. Through five games this month, Pages has gone 6-for-16 with two home runs, one double, two walks, six RBI and three runs.

  • Austin Nola C | COL

    Rockies' Austin Nola: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    The Rockies designated Nola for assignment Monday.

    The Rockies have been carrying three catchers for most of this month, but they will now go back to two backstops as Nola gets booted off the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Nola had played sparingly lately and will have the ability to elect free agency if he passes through waivers.

  • Omar Narvaez C | HOU

    Rangers' Omar Narvaez: Lands MiLB deal with Texas

    Narvaez signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Sunday.

    Narvaez will move on to his third organization of the season after stops with the White Sox and Astros. The 33-year-old catcher has seen MLB action in parts of 10 seasons but has spent the majority of the 2025 campaign at the Triple-A level, slashing .243/.372/.338 with three home runs across 180 plate appearances with Charlotte and Sugar Land. He'll report to the Rangers' top affiliate in Round Rock but could be a candidate to receive a promotion to the big leagues in September, when Texas' active roster expands to 28 players.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Launches eighth homer

    Pages went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

    Pages opened the scoring with a third-inning blast off Shota Imanaga. While playing time hasn't been all that steady lately, Pages has made the most of it, going 7-for-19 (.368) with two homers and six RBI over his last six games dating back to July 29. The catcher is splitting duties with Yohel Pozo behind the dish in what's emerging as a fairly even timeshare. On the year, Pages has a .211/.256/.341 slash line with eight homers, 35 RBI, 29 runs scored and no stolen bases across 87 contests.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Ready for rehab assignment

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Moreno (finger) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Moreno is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list Aug. 18, and he looks like he'll have a shot to be activated on that date if all goes smoothly on his rehab assignment. The catcher was hitting .270 but provided just five home runs, one stolen base, 29 runs and 20 RBI through 53 games before he landed on the IL on June 19 due to a hairline fracture of his right index finger.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Belts another homer

    Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 6-3 win over Tampa Bay.

    Raleigh went 3-for-13 during Seattle's three-game series against the Rays, but all three of his hits -- one in each contest -- were round trippers. The catcher tagged Adrian Houser for a two-run shot in his first at-bat. Raleigh is up to 45 home runs on the season, four more than any other player in baseball.

  • Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Three-hit effort in loss

    Fulford went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    During his current stint in the big leagues, Fulford has gone 4-for-14 with three strikeouts and one walk. He has been in the lineup for four of seven games since he was called up last Sunday, making two starts each at catcher and designated hitter. He's also started twice against right-handed pitchers, so it doesn't appear he'll be strictly platooned. Over 57 plate appearances in the majors, the 26-year-old has posted a .259/.281/.389 slash line with one home run, 11 RBI, five runs scored, one stolen base, two doubles and one triple.
