The Brewers designated Haase for assignment Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

With Danny Jansen joining the Brewers via trade with Tampa Bay, the Brewers needed to create a 40-man roster spot, and Haase is the odd man out in Milwaukee. Haase slashed .229/.289/.357 with two home runs, nine RBI, 11 runs scored and a 4:31 BB:K across 77 plate appearances this season.

Rutschman went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 11-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Rutschman returned to action for the first time since June 19 and tallied his fifth three-hit game of the season, highlighted by a two-run double in the third inning. The 27-year-old is slashing .235/.324/.385 with eight homers, 22 RBI and 33 runs scored across 281 plate appearances, and Monday's performance provides optimism he can finish the season strong.

The Royals announced that Perez exited Monday's game against Atlanta with a left elbow contusion.

Perez took a 94 mph fastball from Spencer Strider off the elbow in the bottom of the third inning and was later removed from the contest in the top of the fifth. Freddy Fermin replaced Perez behind the plate. The hot-hitting Perez should be viewed as day-to-day, with Tuesday versus Atlanta being his next chance to play.

Perez exited Monday's game versus Atlanta in the top of the fifth inning after previously getting hit by a pitch in the elbow, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Perez was hit with a Spencer Strider fastball in the bottom of the third inning but stayed in the game only to be removed in favor of Freddy Fermin in the top of the fifth. Prior to exiting, Perez was 1-for-1 at the plate with one RBI. The veteran catcher has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last month-plus, slashing .304/.340/.685 with nine home runs, 20 RBI and 14 runs scored over the previous 30 days leading into Monday's contest.

Dingler went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Dingler has been in a nice groove lately, as he now has hits in four straight games, with three of them going down as multi-hit performances. Overall, the Detroit catcher is slashing .279/.320/.435 with nine home runs, 29 runs scored and 40 RBI across 80 games. He's been more effective against lefties, sporting an .889 OPS in those matchups, and his long ball Monday came against Arizona southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez. However, Dingler still has a solid .710 OPS against righties, giving him broad fantasy appeal in his starting role.

Vazquez will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Vazquez will draw a third consecutive start behind the dish, but he'll likely see his playing time scaled back once top backstop Ryan Jeffers (personal) returns from the paternity list. The 34-year-old Vazquez has struggled to get much going offensively in 2025; he'll enter Monday's contest with a .527 OPS, the lowest mark of his 11-year big-league career.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

The left-handed-hitting Baldwin will be given a breather in the series opener while the Royals send southpaw Rich Hill to the bump. Marcell Ozuna will get the nod at designated hitter in place of Baldwin, who hit .250 with five doubles, nine RBI and five runs while starting in each of Atlanta's previous 10 games.

Teel is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

After he was rested for Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs in day game after a night game, the left-handed-hitting Teel will remain on the bench Monday since the Phillies are sending a southpaw (Cristopher Sanchez) to the hill. Edgar Quero will handle catching duties for the White Sox in the series opener.

Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

The Dodgers haven't indicated that Smith is dealing with any sort of illness or injury, but he'll be on the bench for a second straight game while Dalton Rushing draws another start behind the plate. Smith has been productive at the plate thus far in the second half, batting .290 with a pair of solo home runs and a 4:7 K:BB in 10 games since the All-Star break.

The Rays acquired Fortes from the Marlins on Monday in exchange for outfielder Matthew Etzel (undisclosed), Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

The Rays dealt catcher Danny Jansen to the Brewers earlier Monday and have immediately replaced him with Fortes. Fortes has turned in an underwhelming .225/.277/.344 batting line in parts of five major-league seasons, but the Rays hope to coax more out of him with a change of scenery. In Tampa Bay, the 28-year-old will vie with Matt Thaiss for playing time behind the dish for the rest of the season.
