The Orioles selected Basallo's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat sixth in his MLB debut.

Widely regarded as one of the top prospects in baseball, Basallo will make the leap to the big leagues after slashing .270/.377/.589 with 23 home runs, a 14 percent walk rate and a 23.7 percent strikeout rate over 321 plate appearances at Triple-A. Though he's mainly served as a catcher in the minors, the 21-year-old will likely see most of his playing time at either first base or designated hitter, while Adley Rutschman continues to handle the bulk of the starts behind the plate. Assuming he settles into a near-everyday role, Basallo is worth rostering in the majority of fantasy leagues for managers in need of an infusion of power.

Jensen (wrist) was back in the lineup for Triple-A Omaha on Saturday and hit a two-run home run.

He suffered a right wrist contusion earlier this week but only missed a couple days. Jensen, 22, is slashing .316/.388/.571 with 12 home runs, eight steals and a 26.5 percent strikeout rate over his last 62 games split across Double-A and Triple-A.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Narvaez will take a seat for Saturday's game after starting three of Boston's last four games. He'll yield to Connor Wong, who'll catch for Brayan Bello for an eighth straight start. Narvaez has just two hits in his last 18 at-bats.

Higashioka went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

Higashioka gave the Rangers an early lead with a three-run homer in the second inning. The blast was his fourth home run over the last 11 games, a span in which he slashed .289/.325/.684 with eight RBI and eight runs scored.

Raleigh went 3-for-5 with a walk, two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 11-9 win over the Mets.

The backstop hadn't settled for a two-bagger since June 27, but Raleigh banged out a couple late doubles after launching his league-leading 46th homer of the season in the third inning off Sean Manaea. With the performance, Raleigh reached 100 RBI for the second straight season as he continues to re-write the record book. The last catcher to record back-to-back 100-RBI campaigns was Mike Piazza, who accomplished the feat in five consecutive seasons from 1996-2000. Raleigh is two homers away from tying Salvador Perez for the most in a season by a catcher in MLB history, and he's only six long balls away from tying Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle for the most in a season by a switch hitter. The Mariners have 39 games left on their schedule.

Dingler went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Twins.

Dingler chipped in as part of a 10-hit Detroit attack that led to the easy win. The catcher has slowed down a bit in August with a .205 batting average and .680 OPS, though he has at least mustered two home runs and seven RBI in 13 games. Overall, Dingler is batting .272 with a .746 OPS, and he remains the team's clear top backstop ahead of Jake Rogers.

Kirk went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

With the Blue Jays down 3-0 in the seventh inning, Kirk got hold of a Robert Garcia changeup and drove it the other way for a two-run homer. After Texas struck back for two more runs in the top of the eighth, the backstop completed the comeback in the bottom of the frame with a two-run single off Phil Maton. The long ball was Kirk's eighth of the season and his first since June 19, snapping a 36-game drought, while the multi-RBI performance was his first since July 11. Despite those dry spells, he's still slashing .296/.355/.403 through 98 contests on the season with 52 RBI, 11 short of the career high he set in 2022. Friday's steal was also the first of his career.

Langeliers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Angels.

Langeliers led off the bottom of the first inning with a homer, and he added an RBI single in the eighth to help the Athletics secure their lead. His power has spiked in August with seven homers over his last 13 games, a span in which he's also batting .386 (22-for-57). The catcher has gone deep 25 times this season, putting him on pace to reach the 30-homer mark for the first time in his career. He's added 55 RBI, 53 runs scored, 21 doubles, five stolen bases and a .274/.320/.549 slash line across 92 contests in a breakout campaign.

O'Hoppe is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Athletics on Friday.

O'Hoppe will get a day off while Travis d'Arnaud serves behind home plate and bats seventh. O'Hoppe has gone 5-for-29 (.172) with four RBI in eight games since the beginning of August.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

Jeffers isn't part of the starting nine for the first time in 15 games, yielding to Mickey Gasper behind the dish while Trevor Larnach fills in at DH. Jeffers is hitless in his last 11 at-bats, a stretch that began immediately after he posted a 12-game hit streak.
