Langeliers went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Langeliers smashed a go-ahead shot, his 28th homer of the year, in the 10th inning to give the Athletics the lead. Since returning from the injured list June 30, the slugging backstop has been on an absolute tear in the power department. Langeliers has now homered in three consecutive outings, and he's batting .309 with 18 big flies, 11 doubles and 33 RBI over his last 40 contests.

Dingler went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Dingler isn't known for his speed, as the triple was just his second of the season, and he's never swiped a base at the MLB level. The catcher has still been plenty productive for the Tigers with a .274/.321/.432 slash line across 98 games this year. It's a big step forward for Dingler, who posted a .167/.195/.310 line in 27 regular-season games as a rookie in 2024.

O'Hoppe is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Reds on Wednesday.

O'Hoppe will be on the bench for a second straight game while Travis d'Arnaud starts behind the plate and bats seventh. O'Hoppe has struggled at the plate of late, going 0-for-12 with six strikeouts over his last three games.

Higashioka (hamstring) will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Royalls.

Higashioka had been out of the Rangers' lineup for the past four games due to a hamstring injury, but he has been given the green light to play Wednesday. In 17 games since the All-Star break, Higashioka has slashed .298/.322/.579 with four home runs, one stolen base, nine runs and eight RBI over 59 plate appearances.

Quero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

Quero and Kyle Teel both received steady playing time between the catcher and designated-hitter spots last week, but Quero's opportunities have begun to tail off. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the second time in the series and the third time in five games while Teel starts behind the plate and Mike Tauchman serves as Chicago's DH.

Perez (illness) will start at catcher and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Perez missed each of the previous two contests with an illness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday. The Royals will be going for their sixth straight victory and eighth win over their last nine contests.

Kirk went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and one additional RBI in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

Kirk continued his power-hitting ways Tuesday with his third home run in his last four games after he hadn't left the yard previously since June 19. Kirk has driven in eight runs over his mini power surge and has reached double-digit long balls for the second time in his career. The 26-year-old backstop is slashing .296/.355/.416 with 56 RBI, 33 runs, a steal and a 34:40 BB:K in 397 plate appearances this season.

Teel went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Tuesday's 11-10 loss to Atlanta.

One game after matching a season high with four hits, Teel established season best with four RBI on Tuesday. The 2023 first-rounder is making a nice impression as he gets his first taste of major-league action, slashing .274/.363/.411 with four homers, eight doubles, 18 RBI and two stolen bases through 169 plate appearances. His upside will remain limited by a lackluster White Sox lineup, but Teel is worth considering in two-catcher leagues.

Higashioka (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Higashioka will sit for a fourth straight game Tuesday as he continues to deal with a mild hamstring injury. Jonah Heim will receive another start behind the plate for the Rangers.

Perez (illness) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

The veteran catcher was scratched from Monday's lineup due to an illness and will be held out of the starting nine again Tuesday, though he's expected to be available off the bench, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Luke Maile will receive another start behind the plate for Kansas City.
