Dingler went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the A's.

The 26-year-old backstop took Luis Severino deep in the third inning for what proved to be the game-winning hit, breaking open a 4-4 tie. Dingler has slowed down at the plate in June, slashing .196/.233/.375 over 18 contests, but he's still supplying good power numbers this month with three of his eight homers and 12 of his 34 RBI on the season.

Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

While the 32-year-old flexed his muscles by taking Chris Martin deep in the seventh inning to get the Orioles on the board, Sanchez arguably cost his team more runs than he created. Texas went 5-for-5 on steal attempts against the backstop, including three by Sam Haggerty after he entered the game in the eighth inning as a pinch hitter, and Sanchez also struggled to protect the plate -- the Rangers' first run came when he couldn't corral a Ramon Laureano throw in the fourth inning as Corey Seager scored from second on a single, and the game-winning run came when Sanchez was a heartbeat slow to tag Evan Carter on a fielder's choice. Sanchez has gone 5-for-15 with five RBI in five games since Adley Rutschman (oblique) was sidelined, but his hold on the starting job could slip if his defensive work remains subpar.

Jansen went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and three RBI on Tuesday against the Royals.

Jansen popped his home run in the second inning to get the Rays on the board while tallying a long ball in his second consecutive start. He hasn't hit for average at any point this season, but he has four homers with nine RBI and eight runs scored across 13 games in June.

Langeliers (oblique) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Langeliers has been on the shelf since June 6 while recovering from a left oblique strain, but he appears to be on the cusp of a return to action. The catcher will likely require at least a couple of rehab games to regain his timing at the plate, but once activated from the 10-day injured list, he should reclaim his usual duties as the Athletics' No. 1 backstop. Austin Wynns and Willie MacIver have been splitting playing time at the position since Langeliers was deactivated.

Caratini is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Phillies.

Caratini has played more often than not since Yordan Alvarez (hand) was injured, rotating between designated hitter, catcher and occasionally first base. He'll take a seat Tuesday, though, as Jose Altuve serves as the Astros' DH and Yainer Diaz does the catching.

High-A Hub City reinstated Moore (finger) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Moore was cleared to start at catcher and bat third for Hub City on Tuesday versus Aberdeen in his first game at the High-A level since April 15. After missing more than two months with a broken finger on his right hand, Moore headed to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 16 and went 2-for-14 with a home run, a stolen base and six walks in five rehab games before getting the green light to rejoin Hub City.

Wong went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

Wong's fourth-inning sacrifice fly plated Boston's fourth run and produced the catcher's first RBI of the season in his 29th game. Monday's start was the second in three games for Wong, who's lost the starting job to Carlos Narvaez and is batting .157 (11-for-70) with a .416 OPS.

Quero was ejected from Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports. He went 1-for-3 with a double before exiting.

Quero struck out looking in the bottom of the sixth inning and had some words for the umpire afterward, resulting in his removal from the matchup. Despite an early exit, he managed to pick up his first base knock since Tuesday and his first extra-base hit since May 26.

Narvaez is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Angels on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Narvaez will take a seat after going 2-for-10 with one double and five strikeouts in two starts during the Red Sox's three-game weekend road series against the Giants. Connor Wong will serve behind home plate and bat eighth.

O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

It appears to be a routine day off for O'Hoppe, who started at catcher in each of the previous two contests. Travis d'Arnaud will be behind the dish and bat fifth for the Halos in the series opener.
