  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Gets aboard four times in big win

    Langeliers went 3-for-6 with a double, a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 17-4 win over the Angels.

    Langeliers was productive out of the leadoff spot and has hit safely in all four of his games in September so far. He's gone 6-for-18 with three walks and four strikeouts to begin the month. His steal Saturday was his first since July 30 versus the Mariners. Overall, the catcher is batting .264 with an .846 OPS, 29 home runs, 67 RBI, 63 runs scored, 26 doubles and six steals over 108 contests.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Hits 25th homer in rout

    Perez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Twins.

    Perez gave the Royals an early 4-0 lead with a 415-foot blast in the first inning before adding a single in the second. The veteran backstop has now homered in three of his past nine games, though he's gone just 6-for-33 during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .240/.283/.447 with 25 home runs, 81 RBI and 48 runs scored across 557 plate appearances.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Up to 52 homers in 2025

    Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-2 win over Atlanta.

    Raleigh added to his historic campaign, belting his 52nd homer of the season. The All-Star backstop has opened the month of September with a five-game hitting streak, smashing two long balls during that span. Raleigh has easily been fantasy's top catcher in all settings in 2025, slashing a robust .242/.351/.578 with 19 doubles, 110 RBI, 92 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in addition to the 52 round-trippers across 613 plate appearances.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Gets promising results from X-rays

    X-rays on Basallo's right hand were negative Saturday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Basallo had to be lifted in the fifth inning of Saturday's win over the Dodgers after taking a foul tip off his right hand. The rookie backstop was initially announced to have been removed due to discomfort in his right hand, and subsequent X-rays turned out to be negative. That's certainly good news for Basallo, who can be considered day-to-day until more is known about his injury.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Exits Saturday with hand injury

    Basallo departed Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to right-hand discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Basallo was hurt in the fifth inning when he was hit in the right hand by a foul tip. The rookie catcher originally tried to remain in the game, but he sailed a practice throw into center field and was subsequently lifted. Alex Jackson replaced Basallo behind the plate Saturday and would presumably be in line to start if Basallo needs to miss time, as Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Gary Sanchez (knee) are both on the injured list.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Out of lineup Saturday

    Jeffers (head) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Royals.

    Jeffers was removed from the game Thursday after taking a foul ball off his mask. With Jeffers needing at least another day to recover, Mickey Gasper is behind the dish at catcher and batting seventh.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Idle Saturday

    Kirk isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    After going 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored Friday, Kirk will step aside while Tyler Heineman catches for Chris Bassitt and bats ninth.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Walks it off Friday

    Basallo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

    The rookie swatted his second career homer and his first at home in Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and he made it count -- with the score tied 1-1 and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Basallo crushed a Tanner Scott fastball 433 feet over the fence in right-center field. The 21-year-old is still adjusting to big-league pitching, but his upside is undeniable, and through his first 15 games with the O's he's slashing .204/.271/.389 with four doubles, nine RBI and a 4:13 BB:K.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Taking seat

    O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

    O'Hoppe will yield to Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate Friday after making three consecutive starts. O'Hoppe went 1-for-12 (.083) with six strikeouts during that three-start stretch.

  • Twins' Jhonny Pereda: Back in bigs

    The Twins recalled Pereda from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Pereda joins the active roster for the first time since being optioned Aug. 12, replacing DaShawn Keirsey. Pereda will provide some catching depth behind Ryan Jeffers (head), who was removed from Thursday's game after taking a foul tip to the mask. If Jeffers is forced to miss time, Pereda and Mickey Gasper would handle catcher duties.
