Fry went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

Fry has homered five times over his last 13 games, going 14-for-33 (.424) with a 10:6 BB:K in that span. The 28-year-old got a start at catcher versus southpaw Patrick Sandoval in this contest, though manager Stephen Vogt has found room for him in various spots including first base, third base, left field and designated hitter this season. Fry is slashing a stellar .360/.500/.628 with six homers, 19 RBI, 22 runs scored and three stolen bases over 114 plate appearances.

Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

The lefty-hitting Naylor will retreat to the bench as the Guardians prepare to face left-hander Patrick Sandoval. David Fry will fill in behind the dish and bat fifth.

Trevino (illness) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Trevino was pulled from Thursday's game due to an illness, and he seems to still be under the weather heading into Friday's contest. Austin Wells will pick up another start behind the dish and bat eighth while Trevino rests.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Rangers.

Jeffers started the previous six games but went 2-for-22 with 10 strikeouts during that stretch, and he'll take a seat for Friday's series opener. Christian Vazquez will step in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Rutschman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Rutschman started the previous four games but will sit Friday amid a 3-for-21 mini-slump. James McCann will step in behind the plate to form a battery with Corbin Burnes.

Rogers is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

Carson Kelly will get the start at catcher as Rogers sits for a second straight game. The 29-year-old Rogers has started only four of Detroit's last 12 games, and he's gone just 2-for-16 over that span with a 1:7 BB:K.

Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

Although the Rays will take on right-hander Seth Lugo, the lefty-batting Rortvedt will give way to Alex Jackson for the series opener. Rortvedt is slashing .264/.385/.310 on the season, but he has just one hit in his last 14 at-bats.

McCann went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two walks and one run scored in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

McCann had gone just 3-for-18 over his previous eight contests before a breakout game Thursday. The backup catcher has generally played well in 2024, posting a .340/.431/.580 slash line over 58 plate appearances. He's added three home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and nine runs scored, but the 26-year-old remains firmly behind Shea Langeliers on the depth chart.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Trevino was removed from Thursday's game versus the Mariners due to illness, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Trevino was lifted in favor of pinch hitter Austin Wells in the bottom of the eighth inning after going 1-for-3 with a single in his first three plate appearances. Boone expects Trevino to be fine to travel with the team for its road trip beginning this weekend, so consider the catcher day-to-day.

Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

The Tigers seem content alternating between Rogers and Carson Kelly behind the plate, and Thursday will mark Kelly's turn to start while batting ninth.
