Basallo (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Southpaw Payton Tolle is on the mound for Boston, so the left-handed-hitting Basallo's absence from the lineup doesn't come as a major surprise, especially after the young backstop exited Sunday's 5-2 win over the Astros in the second inning due to right shoulder discomfort. Adley Rutschman (wrist) is also receiving a second straight game off, so the Orioles will go with third-string catcher Sam Huff behind the dish Monday.

Rutschman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox due to a left wrist injury, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Rutschman was excluded from the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the Astros in what initially appeared to be a routine maintenance day, but Orioles manager Craig Albernaz disclosed following the 5-2 win that the veteran backstop was dealing with wrist discomfort, per Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. Samuel Basallo (shoulder) will also get the night off after exiting Sunday's game early, so the Orioles will hand Sam Huff a start behind the plate for the series opener in Boston. The Orioles appear to be viewing Rutschman as day-to-day.

Gray, who had surgery to remove a bone chip in his right elbow, has gone 1-for-8 through three rehab games in the Florida Complex League.

Per Ian Cundall of Baseball America, Gray should be back in action for Single-A Charleston before the end of the month. Prior to the midseason surgery, Gray slashed .286/.406/.474 with six home runs, four steals, a 21.9 percent strikeout rate and a 16.1 percent walk rate in 49 games. He received just under $1 million when the Rays selected him in the third round in 2025 and won't turn 19 until mid-August.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Connor Wong will draw a second straight start behind the dish while Narvaez remains on the bench for the series opener. Narvaez started twice in the Red Sox's four-game series versus the Rays over the weekend, going 3-for-6 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run.

Jeffers is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Cleveland.

Jeffers had started each of the last four tilts -- including three at catcher -- so he'll get some rest Monday. Victor Caratini will be behind the dish in the series opener.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Saturday that Jansen (forearm) is dealing with setbacks that put his return in doubt, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Jansen, who was placed on the 10-day injured list in early June, has twice attempted to resume a throwing program but lingering pain has put a pause on his rehab. With Jansen out of action, Texas is relying on a combination of Kyle Higashioka and Elias Diaz behind the plate.

The Angels reinstated Campero (hand) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Campero has yet to play for the Angels in 2026 but was added to the 40-man roster June 6 and placed on the big club's injured list a week later after having sustained a right hand fracture in late May while playing for Double-A Rocket City. He was able to complete a three-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League within the past week and will now join the Angels' top affiliate in Salt Lake. Campero has handled a versatile role at Rocket City this season, making 30 starts at catcher, 13 in the corner outfield and two at designated hitter while slashing .287/.375/.455 with six home runs and 11 steals across 193 plate appearances.

Heineman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Tigers.

Heineman has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with two walks over eight games since he was traded to the Angels by Toronto on June 17. Overall, he's batting .180 with one home run, six RBI, eight runs scored, two doubles and a steal over 111 plate appearances. Heineman will likely continue to serve as the backup to Logan O'Hoppe, at least until Travis d'Arnaud (foot) is able to return to the lineup from a stint on the 60-day injured list.

Basallo exited Sunday's game against Houston early with right shoulder discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.

After just one at-bat in the top of the second inning, Basallo was pulled from the game due to discomfort in his right shoulder. Sam Huff has replaced Basallo behind the plate.

O'Hoppe is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Tigers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe will receive a breather for the series finale after going 2-for-2 with a walk Saturday. The 26-year-old will be replaced by Tyler Heineman behind the plate, and he will bat ninth for the Angels.
