Garver will DH and bat sixth in Friday's game against the Mets.

Garver was left off the first iteration of Seattle's lineup, but he'll step into the starting nine after Josh Naylor (undisclosed) was scratched. Garver is slashing .212/.301/.332 in 219 plate appearances this season.

Naylor isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Miami.

Naylor will get a day to regroup Thursday after going just 1-for-13 with two walks and a run scored over his last five contests. Austin Hedges will take his place behind home plate and bat ninth.

Kirk is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Cubs.

Kirk started at catcher in both of the first two games of the series, so he'll get a breather in Thursday's finale. Tyler Heineman will fill in behind the dish and will bat eighth in the rubber match.

Rutschman is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Mariners.

Rutschman has gone 1-for-14 at the dish over his last four games, so he will get a day off Thursday to regroup. Alex Jackson will start at catcher and bat ninth for the rubber match in Seattle.

Garver will start at catcher and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Orioles.

With star backstop Cal Raleigh getting a rare rest day as the Mariners conclude their series in Baltimore with a day game after a night game, Garver will receive a turn behind the plate. Since the All-Star break, Garver has struggled to get much going offensively while seeing inconsistent playing time, slashing just .184/.273/.289 with a home run and a 4:14 BB:K over 44 plate appearances.

Raleigh is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.

Following a stretch of three straight games with a home run, Raleigh has gone 0-for-8 in the first two games of the series. He'll get a rare breather in Thursday's series finale, with Mitch Garver getting a turn at catcher in Raleigh's stead.

Diaz went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Boston.

Diaz amassed at least three RBI for the second time this month and the seventh time this season. The backstop now has four multi-hit games in August, and he's been a steady bat in the middle of Houston's order throughout 2025. Since the beginning of July, Diaz is batting a strong .281 with seven homers, seven doubles and 19 RBI covering 128 at-bats (34 games).

Jensen will not be in Triple-A Omaha's lineup Wednesday due to a right wrist contusion, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Jensen suffered the injury after his hand hit a batting helmet on a throw during Tuesday's game. The 22-year-old top prospect is considered day-to-day, and he could return to the lineup before the end of the week. Jensen is slashing .252/.358/.574 with two steals, eight doubles, nine home runs and 26 RBI over 135 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

Narvaez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.

Narvaez started each of the first two games of the series, but he'll take a seat for the finale. Connor Wong is catching and batting ninth in the rubber match.

Higashioka is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Higashioka was behind the dish for a night game Tuesday, so he'll get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. Jonah Heim will catch and bat eighth for the Rangers.
