Wells isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Wells will use Saturday to rest after going 1-for-5 with a run scored during Friday's high-scoring loss. While Wells sits, Ben Rice will catch for starter Cam Schlittler and bat sixth.

Langeliers went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Friday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Langeliers did his damage early, with the homer coming as part of the Athletics' four-run first inning. He's lifted five long balls over his last seven games, going 12-for-29 (.414) with seven RBI in that span. The hot stretch has the catcher up to a .258/.312/.507 slash line on the year. His .819 OPS is impressive, especially since it was at .709 entering the All-Star break. Langeliers has added 19 homers, 45 RBI, 41 runs scored, five stolen bases and 17 doubles through 80 contests this season.

Higashioka is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

Higashioka has started in the Rangers' last three games since returning from a hamstring injury, going 5-for-11 with a triple and two solo homers. He'll get a breather Friday while Jonah Heim serves behind home plate and bats ninth.

The Rays designated Thaiss for assignment Friday.

Despite Danny Jansen being traded to Milwaukee on Monday, the Rays added to their backstop depth by acquiring Nick Fortes from the Marlins and Hunter Feduccia from the Dodgers. Thaiss is slashing .218/.349/.288 with one steal, one home run and 16 RBI in 190 plate appearances this season.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rangers.

Raleigh didn't homer in the Mariners' three-game series versus the Athletics to begin the week, but he made up for it with a blast off Kumar Rocker in the fifth inning of Thursday's contest. Raleigh has four homers over his last nine games and a total of 42 long balls on the year. The catcher has added a .257/.364/.611 slash line with 88 RBI, 72 runs scored and 12 stolen bases. He batted second in this game, and there may be some movement in the Mariners' lineup after the acquisitions of Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez, especially while J.P. Crawford is in a slump.

Rodriguez was traded from the Yankees to the Giants on Thursday along with Parks Harber and Trystan Vrieling in exchange for Camilo Doval, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Rodriguez is essentially a big-league ready catching option, albeit one with limited power and a slight frame. The 5-foot-10 Rodriguez is slashing .317/.409/.430 with five home runs, 16 steals, a 12.7 percent walk rate and a 15.2 percent strikeout rate in 78 games at Triple-A. His speed and hit tool could make him useful in deeper leagues, especially if he finds his way into a large role, although that doesn't seem likely barring a Patrick Bailey injury. Rodriguez is also capable of playing third base and has started 19 games there this year at Triple-A.

The Blue Jays acquired Valenzuela from the Padres on Thursday in exchange for Will Wagner.

Valenzuela has slashed .229/.313/.387 with 12 homers over 87 contests at Double-A San Antonio this season. The 24-year-old catcher looks to be mostly a depth addition for Toronto.

Thaiss is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Though the Rays recently shipped catcher Danny Jansen to Milwaukee while acquiring another backstop in Nick Fortes from Miami, Thaiss' playing-time outlook is unlikely to change dramatically. Thaiss had started in three of the previous four contests, but he's still likely to be stuck in a timeshare behind the dish with Fortes, who is regarded as the superior defender of the two.

Wells is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

Wells will receive a breather for the day game after he went 1-for-4 while catching all 11 innings of Wednesday night's 5-4 win. Ben Rice will replace Wells behind the plate Thursday.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Nationals.

Diaz delivered his 15th home run of the season in the sixth inning and has now gone deep in consecutive games. He's picked up his performance considerably across July, homering five times with nine RBI and 10 runs scored across 19 contests. After a very slow start to the season, Diaz has topped a .700 OPS for the first time since Opening Day.
