  • Danny Jansen C | MIL

    Rays' Danny Jansen: Resting Sunday

    Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Jansen will receive a breather for the series finale after he had started behind the plate in each of the Rays' previous three contests. Matt Thaiss will handle catching duties for Tampa Bay on Sunday.

  • Jose Herrera C | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Resting Sunday

    Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Herrera and James McCann had alternated starts behind the plate in each of the previous nine games, but McCann will collect a second straight start Sunday. The two backstops will continue to split the workload until Gabriel Moreno (finger) returns from the 60-day injured list.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Returning from IL on Monday

    Interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Rutschman (oblique) is scheduled to be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Rutschman has gone 2-for-15 with a double in four rehab games and is on the cusp of rejoining the big club. The 27-year-old has been on the shelf with a strained oblique for over a month. He was in the midst of an underwhelming campaign prior to the injury with a .227/.319/.372 slash line in 276 plate appearances.

  • 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.

  • Ali Sanchez C | BOS

    Blue Jays' Ali Sanchez: Summoned to big leagues

    The Blue Jays selected Sanchez's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

    Sanchez will be active for Sunday's game against the Tigers after Alejandro Kirk (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list. Sanchez is unlikely to play more than a couple times per week with Tyler Heineman handling starting duties behind the dish. Sanchez previously logged 11 plate appearances with Toronto earlier this season but has spent the bulk of the 2025 campaign at Buffalo, slashing .279/.347/.419 with six home runs over 199 plate appearances.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Goes on concussion IL

    The Blue Jays placed Kirk on the 7-day injured list Sunday after he was diagnosed with a concussion.

    After being struck in the catcher's mask by a foul tip in the third inning Saturday, Kirk was pulled from the contest and sent in for further evaluation. With tests confirming a concussion, he won't be eligible to return until at least Aug. 3, though fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Kirk needs more than a week to exit the concussion protocol. Ali Sanchez was called up from Triple-A Buffalo to provide the Blue Jays with another option behind the plate, but Tyler Heineman will handle starting duties in Kirk's absence.

  • Orioles' Jacob Stallings: Resting for series finale

    Stallings is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Stallings will rest Sunday after he went 1-for-5 with a run and an RBI while catching all nine innings of Saturday's 18-0 win. Alex Jackson will get the nod behind the plate in the series finale.

  • 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.
