Dingler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Dingler started the previous two games but will hit the bench for Tuesday's contest. He's without a multi-hit performance since Aug. 6 and has a .351 OPS during that 31-game stretch. Eduardo Valencia is working behind the plate and batting fifth versus Toronto opener Braydon Fisher.

Basallo (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Mets.

It's the second straight day Basallo has been out of the Orioles' lineup, and he has started only five of the past 12 contests. Basallo missed almost a month of action at the beginning of the second half with right shoulder inflammation, and manager Craig Albernaz noted Monday that Basallo's shoulder is still giving him issues, per Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com. The Orioles could eventually opt to shut Basallo down, but Albernaz has indicated it's not under consideration just yet. Yohel Pozo is doing the catching for Baltimore on Tuesday.

The Rays optioned Piper to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

Piper has served as Tampa Bay's third catcher for nearly a month, but he received just one start and six plate appearances during that stretch.

Teel went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBIs and a run scored Monday against the Guardians.

Teel broke the game open in the sixth inning with a two-run double, helping the White Sox rally for six runs. He has taken a boom-or-bust approach at the plate in 10 games since returning from the injured list, striking out at a 37.5 percent clip but also collecting two home runs, six RBI and four total runs scored in that span.

Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against Minnesota in an 8-3 win Monday.

Wells struck out twice over his first three plate appearances but ended on a high note with a solo shot to right field in the ninth inning. The long ball was his second in as many days following an 11-game span without any extra-base hits. Despite the mini power surge, the backstop has also struck out four times across those two games and is batting a meager .074 (2-for-27) across his past nine contests. It's been a tough campaign for Wells, as he's notched an ugly .180/.278/.315 slash line through 115 games.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.

Raleigh clobbered a three-run homer off Reid Detmers in the fourth inning to get the Mariners on the board. The catcher is slashing .255/.352/.468 with two homers, nine RBI and 11 runs in 12 September contests. It's been an incredibly disappointing 2026 campaign for Raleigh, as he's hitting .181/.294/.371 with 22 homers, 63 RBI, 46 runs and two stolen bases across 116 games.

Basallo isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Basallo just received a day off Saturday, and he's started only eight of 13 games this month. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 19, Basallo is batting just .150 with a .467 OPS across 68 trips to the plate. Carlos Narvaez is starting at catcher and batting ninth Monday.

Wells went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Mets.

Wells' first hit since Sept. 2 was a big one, his first homer since a two-homer outburst Aug. 30 against the Red Sox. Despite a rough season at the dish, the left-handed-hitting backstop remains the Yankees' primary catcher. He's slashing a paltry .179/.279/.307 with 11 homers, seven doubles, 29 RBI and 56 runs scored over 360 plate appearances.

Jensen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Jensen started the previous five games -- going 5-for-19 with three doubles and two homers -- and will receive a day off with lefty Payton Tolle pitching for the Red Sox. Luke Maile will step in behind the plate for the series finale in Boston.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Hicks has a .646 OPS through nine games in September and will hit the bench Sunday after starting the first two games of the series versus Houston. Nick Fortes is working behind the plate and batting ninth in the finale.
