MLB Player News

Goodman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 15-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Prior to Tuesday, Goodman was 7-for-33 (.212) with no extra-base hits over his last nine games. The catcher ended the power drought with a solo shot in the second inning, which was all the offense the Rockies could muster until they added some window dressing against position player Miguel Rojas in the ninth. Goodman is hitting .242 with a .775 OPS and 12 homers this season, but he's generated just 20 RBI, as the team around him isn't giving him much to bolster run production. He's added 31 runs scored, eight doubles and three stolen bases through 50 contests.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a hit-by-pitch and a second run scored in Tuesday's 15-6 win over the Rockies.

Smith logged his first multi-hit effort since May 11 versus the Giants. The catcher has remained a regular presence in the lineup for the Dodgers, and with Dalton Rushing cooling off in May (5-for-36 over 14 games), Smith's playing time is under less of a threat. For the season, Smith is batting .248 with a .692 OPS, five homers, 22 RBI, 20 runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases across 45 contests.

Haase went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Haase had gone 0-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts over his last three games since his two-homer effort against the Dodgers on May 12. He's in a tough spot for playing time while the Giants are carrying three catchers on the roster. Haase is batting .286 with three homers, five RBI, six runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases over 29 plate appearances this season. Daniel Susac continues to see most of the time behind the dish, though prospect Jesus Rodriguez is also in the mix.

Realmuto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

Realmuto ended a 29-game homerless drought with his second-inning blast. He missed time due to back spasms during that stretch. The catcher is batting a meager .206 (13-for-63) over 18 contests in May, with just three of his hits going for extra bases. On the year, he's hitting .231 with a .621 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, 11 runs scored and a stolen base over 35 games.

Stephenson went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored during the Reds' 7-2 win over the Mets on Tuesday.

Stephenson has logged two RBI in two consecutive games, with his RBI double in the sixth inning of Tuesday's contest giving the Reds a 6-0 lead. It was the fifth multi-RBI game of the season for the veteran catcher, who has gone 5-for-21 (.238) with one home run, five RBI and three runs scored over his last seven games.

Pages is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

The Cardinals will give Pages a break after he started behind the plate in both of the team's past two games. Ivan Herrera will handle catching duties Tuesday, opening up the designated-hitter spot for Yohel Pozo.

Susac is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Susac went 1-for-11 in the three games he started after his last game on the bench May 22. As he rests Tuesday, Eric Haase starts behind the plate, batting eighth.

Baldwin (oblique) doesn't yet have a timeline for his return, MLB.com reports.

The star catcher landed on the IL on May 19 with a Grade 1 oblique strain, the mildest category, but the best-case scenario still likely has him out until mid-June. Until Baldwin resumes baseball activities, though, a clear target date for his return won't be available.

Stephenson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

Stephenson delivered a key blow in Cincinnati's four-run fourth inning, taking Nolan McLean deep for a two-run shot to extend the lead. The homer was his fourth of the season as the catcher continues to search for more consistency at the plate. While the overall production has been underwhelming, one bright spot has been his improved plate discipline compared to the 2025 regular season, as Stephenson has raised his walk rate from 10 percent to 13.2 percent while lowering his strikeout rate from 33.9 percent to 27.1 percent. He is now slashing .181/.284/.307 with four doubles, 15 RBI and nine runs scored across 148 plate appearances.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Monday against the Cubs.

Davis hasn't had much success at the plate all season and has slipped into an even timeshare with Endy Rodriguez in the last week. Davis did deliver Monday, smacking his fourth home run of the season in the eighth inning, which turned out to be the game-winning run. He has now gone yard twice in his last three starts.
