Moreno went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Friday's 4-1 win over Cleveland.

Moreno provided the second of three consecutive run-scoring singles in the top of the eighth inning, with his being the go-ahead knock. The catcher has RBI in eight of the last nine games, plating 13 runners while batting .343 during that stretch. He's been the team's most consistent hitter since returning from an oblique injury in early May. Since then, Moreno's posted a .313/.400/.462 slash line with 13 doubles, eight home runs, 41 RBI, four steals and 40 runs scored over 70 contests.

Campusano went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Campusano has gone 7-for-15 with three RBI over his last four games. The catcher continues to see a decent amount of playing time between his work behind the dish and at designated hitter. On the year, he's batting .306 with a .919 OPS, four home runs, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases over 36 games. He hit .326 in July after returning from a fractured toe he sustained in May.

Mack went 2-for-4 with a run, a double and a two-run single during the Marlins' 5-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

Mack contributed to the Marlins' four-run fourth inning by smacking a single to left field that plated both Heriberto Hernandez and Jakob Marsee, before coming home on an RBI single from Xavier Edwards. It was the ninth multi-RBI game of the season for Mack, three of which have come since the All-Star break. He has a .723 OPS with 10 home runs and 32 RBI over 212 plate appearances this season.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Friday's matchup against Atlanta.

Ruiz will receive his second day off in the past three days as the Nationals take on Atlanta for the second game of a four-game set. Harry Ford will be behind the dish and batting seventh for Washington.

The Rockies will option Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Friday's contest versus the Royals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

He'll be cleared off the active roster to make space for the return of Brenton Doyle (groin) from the injured list. The Rockies have been carrying three catchers but will revert to a two-catcher setup, with Brett Sullivan backing up Hunter Goodman.

Kelly is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Yankees.

Kelly will get a break during Friday's matinee after he started at catcher Thursday afternoon in St. Louis. Miguel Amaya is behind the dish for the Cubs in the series opener.

Rushing went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday in a 6-2 win against the Mariners.

Rushing's three-run blast in the fourth inning gave the Dodgers all the scoring they needed to emerge with the victory. The second-year backstop endured an 0-for-19, 10-strikeout stretch at the plate during a portion of July, but he's since turned things around, batting .375 with two homers and six RBI over his past seven contests. Rushing continues to work as Los Angeles' primary catcher, though Will Smith (neck) recently resumed baseball activities and could be back with the big club before the midpoint of August.

Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases Thursday against the Reds.

Rodriguez drew his second start since returning from the injured list earlier this week, and he turned in another productive performance. He's stolen three bases in that span, giving him a total of four for the season. Rodriguez has gone 3-for-11 in total since being activated, and he should continue to serve as Pittsburgh's top option behind the plate.

Susac went 1-for-3 with a home run and three total RBI in a 4-1 victory versus San Diego on Thursday.

Susac belted a two-run homer in the second inning and added a sacrifice fly in the fifth. After going homerless across his first 44 career MLB games, the backstop has now launched three homers over his past two contests. Susac had 18 home runs across 96 games in Triple-A last season, so the sudden homer surge isn't entirely incomprehensible. With that said, his StatCast power metrics are all below league average, so fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect Susac to turn into the second coming of Mike Piazza.

Cavanaugh is not in the lineup Thursday against the Padres.

It's the second straight game coming off the bench for Cavanaugh, though he still served as a pinch hitter Wednesday and delivered an RBI single. Daniel Susac is operating as the starting catcher Thursday and is batting seventh.
