  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Receiving breather Sunday

    Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Smith went 3-for-8 with a walk and a run while starting the first two games of the series. Dalton Rushing will step in behind the plate and bat eighth versus Boston righty Walker Buehler.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Getting breather Sunday

    Goodman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Goodman will get a routine breather for the day game after he went 0-for-3 while catching seven innings of Saturday night's 18-0 loss. Austin Nola will replace Goodman behind the dish.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Receiving Sunday off

    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Stephenson started the first two games versus the Rays and will take a seat Sunday after gong 3-for-9 with a homer, three RBI and two runs. Jose Trevino will step in behind the plate to catch for Cincinnati righty Brady Singer in the series finale.

  • Drew Millas C | WAS

    Nationals' Drew Millas: Three-hit performance

    Millas went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Twins.

    Millas didn't drive in a run during the Nationals' blowout win, but he did notch his first three-hit game of the 2025 season. The catcher entered Saturday hitting 3-for-14 with a double, a stolen base and three RBI over seven games. His recent opportunity at the big-league level has come due to Keibert Ruiz (concussion) being sidelined.

  • Brewers' Jeferson Quero: Out 3-to-4 weeks

    Quero was placed on Triple-A Nashville's injured list and will miss 3-to-4 weeks due to a mild left shoulder sprain, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Quero was pulled from Wednesday's contest after four innings as he appeared to hurt his shoulder while trying to tag out a baserunner earlier in the game. The young backstop missed most of the 2024 campaign due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder, but this appears to be a milder injury to the other shoulder and shouldn't keep him out for the remainder of the campaign. Quero could be back in action in late August if he hits his expected return timeframe.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Idle Saturday

    Bailey isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    After tallying four hits over his last three games, Bailey will step out of the lineup against left-handed starter David Peterson. Andrew Knizner will get the nod to start at catcher instead Saturday, batting ninth.

  • Riley Adams C | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Adams: Sitting down Saturday

    Adams isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

    Adams will give way to Drew Millas behind the plate after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Not starting Saturday

    Murphy is not part of Atlanta's starting nine for Saturday's matchup against Texas.

    Murphy started each of Atlanta's past four games -- either at catcher or DH -- but is getting a rest Saturday. Drake Baldwin is starting behind the plate, and Marcell Ozuna is getting a start at DH for the first time since Sunday.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Blasts homer in win

    Stephenson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and three RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Rays.

    Stephenson opened his night with a solo homer of Zack Littell in the second inning and later tacked on a two-run single in the seventh, helping to pad Cincinnati's lead. The 28-year-old backstop has been swinging a hotter bat of late, now batting 9-for-32 (.281) with seven RBI across his last eight games.

  • Cubs' Reese McGuire: Racks up season-high four RBI

    McGuire went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 12-5 loss to the White Sox.

    McGuire blasted homer No. 6 on the season, racking up a season-high three hits and four RBI in the process. The 30-year-old backstop has played rather sparingly as Carson Kelly's backup behind the plate, but the former has been quite useful when the latter has needed a day off amid Miguel Amaya's (oblique) absence. Through 23 outings, McGuire is hitting .243 with six homers, one double and 15 RBI covering 74 at-bats.
