Garver (knee) served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a walk for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

This was the first time during his rehab that Garver has played a full game, albeit as a DH. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Garver would play another two or three games while on rehab this week, per Matthew Postins of SI.com, citing a report in the Dallas Morning News. The club would like to see him play a nine-inning game, presumably in the field, before activating him. Garver's activation is lining up for when the Rangers return from a road trip to open a weekend series against Seattle on Friday.

Heim went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 win over Detroit.

Heim, who is working on a nice little four-game hit streak, delivered runners in scoring position on three consecutive at-bats, raising his RBI total to 38 over 46 games. The 27-year-old catcher is 19-for-40 (.475) when presented with RISP.

Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Ruiz has gone 7-for-30 (.233) with two homers and seven RBI over his last nine games. The catcher continues to handle a starting role, though his season numbers are a bit lackluster. He's batting .225 with a .649 OPS, five homers, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored and seven doubles over 46 contests.

Contreras went 1-for-2 with two walks and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

The 25-year-old gave the Brewers a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning by taking Yusei Kikuchi deep, but it was all the offense Milwaukee could muster. Contreras is up to six homers on the season, but half of them have come in his last six starts -- a stretch in which he's gone 6-for-20 (.300) with seven RBI.

Rogers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rangers.

Rogers has been losing playing time to Eric Haase behind the plate lately, but Haase started in left field Tuesday, which opened up a spot for Rogers. He responded with his sixth home run of the season across 35 games. The occasional power is about all that Rogers can be counted on, as he's batting just .161 and striking out nearly 36 percent of the time.

Trevino is hitting eighth and starting at catcher versus the Mariners on Tuesday.

Trevino was reinstated off the 10-day injured list before Tuesday's game against Seattle, and the veteran backstop is in the starting lineup as expected. Trevino has struggled in 2023 with a .598 OPS over 96 at-bats over 30 games, but he should see the majority of reps behind the plate while he's healthy.

Hedges is out of the starting lineup against the Giants on Tuesday.

Hedges will get a night off after going 0-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's blowout loss to San Francisco. Jason Delay is handling backstop duties while Hedges rests.

Trevino (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Trevino landed on the injured list May 18 with a left hamstring strain. He figures to resume duties as New York's primary catcher, and his return will send Ben Rortvedt back to Triple-A. Trevino was slashing .267/.267/.267 over his last five games prior to getting injured.

The Yankees optioned Rortvedt to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Rortvedt is booted from the active roster to make room for Jose Trevino with Trevino coming off the 10-day injured list. In five games with the Yankees, Rortvedt went 2-for-7 while scoring a pair of runs. He'll head to Triple-A to provide emergency depth for the Yankees.

Bethancourt isn't in the Rays' lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Bethancourt has been seeing the ball well lately, logging a 1.133 OPS across 15 plate appearances over the past week. He'll get a day off Tuesday in favor of Francsico Mejia, who will bat ninth.
