    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Provides lone run in loss

    Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Angels.

    Raleigh ended Angels starter Kyle Hendricks' outing with a leadoff blast in the seventh inning, but that was the Mariners' lone run. It looks like Raleigh's power is heating up again -- he's homered three times over his last five games, though all three have been solo shots. He went 5-for-18 over this four-game series versus the Angels. The catcher is up to a .986 OPS, 41 homers and 86 RBI through 103 contests this season as he continues to aim for historic numbers.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Homers in third straight

    Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win at Houston.

    The 27-year-old capped a successful weekend series against the Astros by launching a 378-foot solo shot off starter Colton Gordon in the first. This marks the third consecutive contest Langeliers has gone deep, as he wraps the four-game sweep with a .375 average (6-for-16), three homers, five RBI and five runs scored. Through 310 total plate appearances, the Athletics backstop is slashing .252/.306/.486 with 17 long balls, four steals, 42 RBI and 37 runs scored across 76 games.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Tallies two hits in win

    Dingler went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.

    After getting a breather Saturday, Dingler returned for Sunday's series finale and tallied his third multi-hit performance over his last six games. The Detroit catcher slashed just .167/.195/.310 in 27 regular-season games last year, but he's been much improved in 2025, compiling a .272/.314/.419 slash line through 79 contests. Dingler's strong play has allowed him to seize the starting role behind the plate, with Jake Rogers serving as the clear backup for the Tigers.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Idle Sunday

    O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the dish while O'Hoppe rests after starting at catcher in both of the previous two contests. O'Hoppe has been wielding a hot bat coming out of the All-Star break, going 10-for-25 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two additional runs through his first seven games.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Could pinch hit Sunday

    Higashioka (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Higashioka will be on the bench for a fourth consecutive game while he tends to what manager Bruce Bochy has called "half of a Grade 1" right hamstring strain, according to MLB.com. Jonah Heim will once again get the nod behind the plate, though Bochy expressed optimism that Higashioka will be able to pinch hit Sunday, if needed, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Idle Sunday

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    Diaz will get a breather after starting behind the plate the previous two nights. Victor Caratini will handle catching duties Sunday.

  • Royals' Freddy Fermin: Resting up Sunday

    Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Fermin had started three of the Royals' previous four games, but he'll get a breather while Salvador Perez covers first base and Luke Maile gets a turn behind the plate. Though the Royals recently bolstered their lineup with the acquisition of Randal Grichuk, the absence of Jac Caglianone (hamstring) should allow Fermin's playing time to remain relatively stable while Perez continues to see more starts at first base or designated hitter rather than catcher.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Resting Sunday

    Teel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Teel will get a breather after he caught all nine innings of Saturday night's 6-1 loss. Edgar Quero will spell Teel behind the plate in the series finale.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Rays' Danny Jansen: Resting Sunday

    Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Jansen will receive a breather for the series finale after he had started behind the plate in each of the Rays' previous three contests. Matt Thaiss will handle catching duties for Tampa Bay on Sunday.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Returning from IL on Monday

    Interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Rutschman (oblique) is scheduled to be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Rutschman has gone 2-for-15 with a double in four rehab games and is on the cusp of rejoining the big club. The 27-year-old has been on the shelf with a strained oblique for over a month. He was in the midst of an underwhelming campaign prior to the injury with a .227/.319/.372 slash line in 276 plate appearances.
