Wells went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and two total RBI in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

Wells notched three of New York's seven extra-base hits in the defeat, and among his knocks was a two-run homer to left field in the fourth inning. The backstop has suddenly caught fire with the bat, slashing .421/.450/1.053 with three home runs and five RBI over his past six games. Prior to that stretch, he batted a miserable .133 with a 28.4 percent strikeout rate over his previous 24 contests.

Quero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3 win over the Twins on Wednesday.

Quero left the yard for the fifth time this season, and it was his first homer since Aug. 12 versus Detroit. The switch-hitting backstop has a decent .737 OPS during his rookie year, and he's fared even better over his last 18 games. During that span, Quero is batting a torrid .351 with two big flies, two doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs scored across his last 57 at-bats.

Narvaez is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Guardians on Wednesday.

Narvaez will be on the bench for Wednesday's series finale after going 2-for-4 with a double during Boston's 11-7 win over Cleveland on Tuesday. Connor Wong will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

The Astros activated Caratini (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday. He will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.

Caratini missed the minimum seven days while recovering from a concussion. He'll start at first base Wednesday as Christian Walker gets some rest.

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

The Orioles are wrapping up their series in San Diego with a day game, so Basallo will receive a break after he had started at catcher or designated hitter in each of the previous four contests. Alex Jackson will step in behind the plate Wednesday, while Ryan Mountcastle serves as Baltimore's DH.

Dingler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

Dingler started each of the first two games of the series at catcher, but he'll get a breather during Wednesday's matinee. Jake Rogers will start behind the dish and hit ninth as the Tigers try to avoid the sweep.

Hedges went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.

Hedges kicked off a six-run sixth inning with a leadoff solo home run. It's his first time leaving the yard since May 6 and just his second multi-hit game of the year, both of which have come in his last 10 games. Hedges is up to four homers and eight RBI on the year, while hitting a lowly .147 at the plate.

Teel went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Twins.

Teel and Lenyn Sosa went back-to-back in the seventh inning against Thomas Hatch. Teel is on a heater right now, going 19-for-47 (.404) with three home runs, nine runs scored, 10 RBI and an 8:10 BB:K over his last 13 games. He has five home runs in 215 plate appearances this season.

The Orioles optioned Handley to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Handley was recalled from Norfolk on Monday, but he did not see the field. The catcher getting optioned corresponds with Tyler Wells (elbow) and Jorge Mateo (hamstring) both being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

The Red Sox are sending lefty ace Garrett Crochet to the hill, so it's a good time for the left-handed-hitting Naylor to get a breather. Austin Hedges will do the catching and bat ninth for the Guardians.
