Quero went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run Wednesday against the Phillies.

Quero didn't homer across the first 55 games of his big-league career, but he now has three home runs across 14 contests. He's also recorded six doubles in that span while driving in eight and scoring 10 runs. Quero has also started to see more consistent playing time, starting eight of 12 games since the All-Star break.

Teel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Phillies.

Starting at DH on Wednesday, Teel opened the scoring with a leadoff blast off Taijuan Walker in the second inning, his second homer this year. The 23-year-old Teel has been swinging the bat well, going 10-for-25 with a 1.080 OPS over his last seven games. Overall, he's slashing .277/.378/.394 with nine RBI, 17 runs scored and a steal across his first 112 big-league plate appearances.

The Twins acquired Tait and Mick Abel from the Phillies on Wednesday in exchange for Jhoan Duran, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Tait, one of the top prospects in the Phillies' system, started the season with Single-A Clearwater before being promoted to High-A Jersey Shore. He's appeared in just seven games in High-A but has done well at the plate in a short time, going 8-for-27 (.296) with three doubles and six RBI. Tait turns 19 on Aug. 27, and the lefty-hitting catcher will now have the opportunity to work his way up through the Twins' farm system.

The Yankees optioned Escarra to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

The move will make room on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Austin Slater, whom the Yankees acquired from the White Sox. Escarra has appeared in 39 games for the Yankees this season and has slashed .205/.299/.337 with one steal, two home runs and 10 RBI across 97 plate appearances. With Escarra down in Triple-A, Ben Rice will serve as the top backup to No. 1 catcher Austin Wells.

Rogers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Rogers started the Wednesday matinee, giving Dillon Dingler a day off, and the former delivered his third home run of the season. While it's been a struggle for Rogers overall in 2025, he's at least showing some signs of life lately with at least one hit in his last three starts and two homers over that span. The catcher did slug 21 home runs as recently as 2023, so the power potential is there, but Rogers should remain firmly behind Dingler on Detroit's depth chart.

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

Acquired from the Marlins earlier this week, Fortes made his Rays debut in Tuesday's 12-2 win, starting behind the dish while going 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored. Though he'll have a clearer path to playing time in Tampa Bay after Agustin Ramirez had overtaken him as the top backstop in Miami prior to the trade, Fortes may still find himself in a timeshare at catcher with Matt Thaiss, who gets the start Wednesday.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

The left-handed-hitting Naylor started Sunday in the Guardians' previous matchup with a lefty starter (the Royals' Noah Cameron), but he'll retreat to the bench for the series finale with the Rockies while southpaw Kyle Freeland takes the hill for Colorado. Austin Hedges will handle catching duties for Cleveland.

Ramirez (undisclosed) started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Single-A Columbia's 9-6 win over Fredericksburg on Tuesday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Though he handled a non-defensive role in his first game with Columbia since May 31, Ramirez made five starts at catcher during his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, so he appears to have made a full recovery from the injury that kept him on the shelf for nearly two months. For the season, Ramirez is slashing .252/.367/.466 with nine home runs and five stolen bases in 45 games for Columbia.

Kirk (concussion) is tentatively on track to play a rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday before being activated from the 7-day injured list Sunday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Kirk was diagnosed with a concussion after taking a foul tip off the mask in a game this past weekend. However, he has recovered well since then, and as long as he keeps progressing well, he'll be in line for a minimum-length absence. Tyler Heineman has been handling the primary catching duties for the Blue Jays since Kirk went down.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

He will rest for just the third time in 12 games since the All-Star break while Connor Wong receives a start behind the dish. Narvaez has gotten off to a slow start to the second half, going just 5-for-35 (.143 average) with one home run, two RBI and three runs.
