MLB Player News

Goodman went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Cardinals.

Goodman opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before coming through again in the eighth, taking George Soriano deep for a game-tying solo homer. Goodman has continued to provide plenty of power since the All-Star break, batting .254 with seven home runs and 18 RBI across 18 games. Through 108 contests this season, he's batting .254, while his 34 homers trail only Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Schwarber (35) for the MLB lead.

Giants manager Tony Vitello said that Susac exited Sunday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to the Tigers in the bottom of the seventh due to a left knee contusion, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Susac went 0-for-2 with a strikeout prior to his departure.

Susac fouled a ball of his knee in the bottom of the fifth and exited the game the next time his turn in the batting order came up two innings later. Fortunately for Susac, Vitello said that X-rays on the rookie catcher's knee returned negative. The 25-year-old is dealing with a significant amount of swelling in his knee and is considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Astros.

Amaya went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals.

Amaya hit his fourth home run of the season in the seventh inning, getting him up to 21 RBI as well. The 27-year-old catcher has been splitting time behind the plate with Carson Kelly, with Kelly getting the start on both Friday and Saturday before taking a seat Sunday. Amaya is likely still the 1B to Kelly's 1A, so his overall fantasy value will be capped unless his role grows at some point, but he's capable of producing when given an opportunity.

Campusano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

The Padres will go with Freddy Fermin behind the dish Sunday after Campusano picked up starts at catcher in the first two contests of the series. Since the All-Star break, Campusano has gotten on base at an excellent .396 clip over 15 games, but he's provided limited counting statistics (no home runs or stolen bases, five RBI and one run).

Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Feduccia will head to the bench after he started behind the plate in each of the Dodgers' previous three contests while going 2-for-8 with a walk and a run scored. Ben Rortvedt will get the nod at catcher Sunday, but Feduccia could end up being the Dodgers' favored option until Will Smith (neck) is ready to come off the 60-day injured list.

Cavanaugh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Cavanaugh and Daniel Susac continue to operate in a near-even timeshare at catcher for the Giants. Susac will pick up his fifth start Sunday in the Giants' last nine games, while Cavanaugh has been behind the plate for each of the other four contests. Unless one player dramatically separates himself from the other with his performance, the timeshare arrangement could remain in place for the balance of the season.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Kelly will get a day off after he started behind plate the previous two contests. Miguel Amaya will receive the nod at catcher and bat eighth for the series finale in Kansas City.

Mack is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Agustin Ramirez will make a start behind the plate as Mack gets a breather. Mack handled catching duties in the first two games of the series, going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts to bring his season batting average down to .232.

Rodriguez (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Rodriguez will receive a third straight game off while he tends to left hip discomfort. Henry Davis will draw another start behind the plate in place of Rodriguez, who is considered day-to-day.

Rodriguez was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets due to left hip discomfort.

The Pirates' medical staff is still in the process of evaluating Rodriguez and should provide more details regarding the severity of his injury in the near future. In the meantime, Henry Davis will start behind the plate and bat ninth.
