Jensen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Rays.

Jensen jumped on the first pitch he saw from the leadoff spot, sending it over the right-field fence to give the Royals an early 1-0 lead. The homer extended the catcher's hitting streak to 20 games, the longest active streak in the majors. During the streak, the 22-year-old is slashing .346/.382/.630 with five homers, eight doubles, 18 RBI and 16 runs scored. Overall, Jensen is hitting .251/.316/.446 with 12 homers, 17 doubles, 46 RBI, 40 runs scored and one stolen base across 79 contests this season.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Narvaez will receive the afternoon off after he started behind the plate both of the previous two nights. Connor Wong will get the nod at catcher Wednesday, but Narvaez looks to be the Red Sox's new top option at the position after the struggling Mickey Gasper was recently demoted to Triple-A Worcester.

Basallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles have been giving the left-handed-hitting Basallo more exposure to same-handed pitching in recent weeks, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while southpaw Noah Schultz starts for the White Sox. With Basallo taking a seat, Adley Rutschman will handle catching duties and Pete Alonso will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter.

The Orioles designated Keegan for assignment Wednesday.

Keegan was just claimed off waivers from the Rays last week and is now set to go through the waivers process again. The catcher has hit a disappointing .191/.327/.303 at the Triple-A level this season.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Bailey will get a breather for the Wednesday afternoon game after playing nine innings behind the plate in a 4-2 loss Tuesday night. Austin Hedges will handle catching duties for the Guardians.

Teel is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Baltimore.

Teel started behind the dish each of the last three days, so he'll get some rest during Wednesday's afternoon game. Drew Romo is doing the catching and batting ninth for the White Sox.

Wells is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

With an ace lefty (Tarik Skubal) on the bump for Detroit, Wells will be one of the four left-handed Yankees batters who will head to the bench. Jazz Chisholm (head), Cody Bellinger and Spencer Jones will also exit the starting nine.

Rutschman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

Rutschman started each of the last two days after being activated from the 7-day concussion injured list, but he'll get a breather Tuesday. Samuel Basallo is doing the catching for the Orioles.

Bodine has been promoted from High-A Bowling Green to Double-A Montgomery, Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay News reports.

Bodine began the season at Single-A Charleston, and between two stops he's collected a .360/.422/.545 batting line with nine home runs and a 25:16 BB:K over 65 games. The 22-year-old's .360 batting average and 5.3 percent strikeout rate lead all minor leaguers. Bodine was taken in the first round of the 2025 First-Year Player Draft by the Orioles before being traded to the Rays over the offseason in the Shane Baz deal.

Caratini went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks against Houston in a 5-4 victory Monday.

Caratini went back-to-back with Royce Lewis in the fourth inning to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. After going deep just three times over his first 52 contests of the campaign, Caratini has swatted four home runs across his past 10 games. He's had a standout June, batting .355 with five homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and a 9:11 BB:K over 19 contests. Ryan Jeffers (hand) could return to action at some point in July, but Caratini may have done enough in Jeffers' absence to retain more than a typical backup's workload.
