Travis d'Arnaud C | LAA
Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Three hits in Tuesday's start
D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.
While all three knocks were singles, it was still another strong performance from d'Arnaud. The veteran catcher has seen steady work behind Logan O'Hoppe over the last few weeks and has responded by batting .310 (9-for-29) since May 18 with two doubles, a homer and three RBI.

Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Back with O's
Tromp signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Tromp elected free agency after clearing waivers Tuesday, but after spending less than a day on the open market, he'll return to his previous organization. The 30-year-old backstop has slashed .254/.338/.413 through 71 plate appearances in Triple-A this year.

Blue Jays' Ali Sanchez: Loses spot on 40-man roster
The Blue Jays designated Sanchez for assignment Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
With Tyler Heineman back from the 7-day concussion injured list, the Jays no longer had a need for Sanchez. If Sanchez passes through waivers, he could stick around in the organization as catching depth.

Dillon Dingler C | DET
Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Goes deep in blowout win
Dingler went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 13-1 win over the White Sox.
Dingler was one of three Detroit players to go deep, including Kerry Carpenter, who crushed three long balls. That effort overshadowed Dingler, but the catcher has been quietly productive all year as he's taken hold of the starting job for the Tigers. The 26-year-old now has six long balls and a .794 OPS this season, compared to no home runs and a paltry .410 OPS for backup catcher Jake Rogers.

Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Sent outright to Triple-A
The Orioles outrighted Tromp to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.
Tromp was cast off the 40-man roster Saturday and will report to Triple-A after failing to draw interest while on the waiver wire. He's batting .254 with three home runs, 10 RBI and nine runs scored across 20 games with the Tides this season.

Edgar Quero C | CHW
White Sox's Edgar Quero: Receiving evening off
Quero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
Quero will get some rest after he started at either catcher or designated hitter in five of Chicago's previous six contests. Korey Lee will step in behind the plate for the series opener versus Detroit.
