  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Returns from IL

    Trevino (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Trevino landed on the injured list May 18 with a left hamstring strain. He figures to resume duties as New York's primary catcher, and his return will send Ben Rortvedt back to Triple-A. Trevino was slashing .267/.267/.267 over his last five games prior to getting injured.

  • Ben Rortvedt C | LAD

    Yankees' Ben Rortvedt: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Yankees optioned Rortvedt to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Rortvedt is booted from the active roster to make room for Jose Trevino with Trevino coming off the 10-day injured list. In five games with the Yankees, Rortvedt went 2-for-7 while scoring a pair of runs. He'll head to Triple-A to provide emergency depth for the Yankees.

  • Rays' Christian Bethancourt: Sitting Tuesday

    Bethancourt isn't in the Rays' lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Bethancourt has been seeing the ball well lately, logging a 1.133 OPS across 15 plate appearances over the past week. He'll get a day off Tuesday in favor of Francsico Mejia, who will bat ninth.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Getting breather Tuesday

    Smith is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

    This looks to be a routine night off for Smith, who played the full game at catcher Monday in the Dodgers' 6-1 defeat of Washington. Austin Barnes will handle catching duties and hit ninth Tuesday versus the Nats.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Off day Tuesday

    Raleigh isn't in Seattle's lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

    After snapping a three-game hitting streak Monday, Raleigh will get a day to rest Tuesday. Tom Murphy will instead serve as the Mariners' backstop and bat seventh.

  • Matt Thaiss C | BOS

    Angels' Matt Thaiss: Off Tuesday

    Thaiss isn't starting Tuesday against the White Sox, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Thaiss went 3-for-5 with a homer, two runs scored and a steal during Monday's game, earning himself a day off in the process. Chad Wallach will take over as the Angels' catcher Tuesday and bat eighth.

  • White Sox's Yasmani Grandal: Sitting out Tuesday

    Grandal isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Grandal is battling through an 0-for-10 stretch at the plate in his last three games, and he holds just a .549 OPS over the last two weeks. The White Sox will instead give Seby Zavala, who'll bat ninth, a shot behind the plate Tuesday.

  • Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Cleared for rehab games

    Marchan (hand/wrist) is beginning a rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A Clearwater.

    Marchan was placed on the 60-day injured list before the start of the 2023 regular season after requiring surgery for a fractured right hamate bone. He figures to require a large number of minor-league at-bats and might ultimately be stationed at Triple-A Lehigh Valley once he's deemed fully fit.

  • Gary Sanchez C | MIL

    Padres' Gary Sanchez: Hitting seventh in team debut

    Sanchez is catching and batting seventh in his Padres debut Tuesday versus the Marlins.

    Sanchez was claimed off waivers from the Mets on Monday and might be poised for a fairly regular role at catcher given how badly Austin Nola has struggled. Brett Sullivan was optioned out to Triple-A El Paso upon Sanchez's arrival.

  • Padres' Brett Sullivan: Optioned to Triple-A

    San Diego optioned Sullivan to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Gary Sanchez was claimed off waivers from the Mets on Monday and will officially join the Padres ahead of Tuesday night's series opener in Miami to presumably share time behind the plate with Austin Nola. Sullivan, 29, had slashed just .170/.184/.298 through 21 games this season with the Friars.
