  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Tossed from series opener

    Quero was ejected from Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports. He went 1-for-3 with a double before exiting.

    Quero struck out looking in the bottom of the sixth inning and had some words for the umpire afterward, resulting in his removal from the matchup. Despite an early exit, he managed to pick up his first base knock since Tuesday and his first extra-base hit since May 26.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Resting Monday

    Narvaez is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Angels on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Narvaez will take a seat after going 2-for-10 with one double and five strikeouts in two starts during the Red Sox's three-game weekend road series against the Giants. Connor Wong will serve behind home plate and bat eighth.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Day off Monday

    O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    It appears to be a routine day off for O'Hoppe, who started at catcher in each of the previous two contests. Travis d'Arnaud will be behind the dish and bat fifth for the Halos in the series opener.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Resting Monday

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Jeffers will get a break in the series opener after he started each of the previous four days, with three of those starts coming at catcher. Christian Vazquez will replace Jeffers behind the plate Monday.

  • Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Added to roster

    The Orioles selected Tromp's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. He'll start at catcher and bat ninth in the Orioles' series opener versus the Rangers.

    With Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Maverick Handley (concussion) on the injured list, Tromp will serve as the Orioles' backup catcher behind Gary Sanchez. Tromp is a career .219/.229/.375 hitter over parts of six major-league seasons.

  • Orioles' Maverick Handley: Lands on concussion injured list

    The Orioles placed Handley on the 7-day injured list Monday due to a concussion.

    Handley was injured during a violent collision with the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm during Sunday's 4-2 loss. While Handley will be eligible to return in a week, the Orioles aren't providing a timetable for the 27-year-old's activation, given the unpredictability of concussions. Adley Rutschman (oblique) also remains on the IL, so the Orioles will go with Gary Sanchez and Chadwick Tromp as their options at catcher.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Getting power stroke back

    O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in a loss to Houston.

    O'Hoppe broke a scoreless tie with a two-run shot to left field in the fourth inning, notching his third long ball of the weekend. Prior to Saturday, the backstop endured a 19-game homer drought, but he's still second among all big-league catchers with 17 home runs on the season. O'Hoppe has added 37 RBI, 25 runs and a .233/.268/.471 slash line through 239 plate appearances.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Goes deep again

    Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, three runs scored and two walks in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

    Raleigh belted a two-run shot in the first inning Sunday for his 31st long ball of the year. It was his third straight game with a home run, and he has five over his last five games. The superstar catcher has produced three straight 30-homer seasons and is quickly approaching his career best of 34 set last season. Raleigh is slashing .276/.383/.659 with 45 extra-base hits and 66 RBIs through 75 appearances.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Slugs ninth homer

    Perez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Padres.

    The Kansas City veteran started at designated hitter and notched his 282nd career homer with a 412-foot long ball off San Diego starter Randy Vasquez in the sixth inning. This marks Perez's fifth homer of the month, as he's been productive in June with a .280 average (21-for-75), 14 RBI and seven runs scored across 19 games. Overall, the 35-year-old is slashing .235/.277/.394 with 41 RBI and 19 runs scored through 308 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Freddy Fermin: Playing time on upswing

    Fermin will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Fermin will pick up his fourth start in five games and could hold down a semi-regular spot in the lineup while the Royals have been using Salvador Perez more frequently at first base and designated hitter of late. During the past month, Fermin hit .273 over a stretch of 15 games, but he provided limited counting statistics (one home run, no stolen bases, four runs, two RBI).
