Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored during Tuesday's 6-5 loss against Milwaukee.

Raleigh delivered his fourth multi-hit effort of the season and also extended his on-base streak to six games. The 26-year-old has mostly hit out of the cleanup spot through the first few weeks of the season and has a .241/.333/.431 slash line with two home runs, five doubles, 12 RBI and seven runs in 16 games.

Haase went 4-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-3 win over the Guardians during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

All four hits were singles, but Haase won't complain after entering the contest with just seven hits in 36 at-bats this season. He upped his average from .194 to .275 with the big performance, then got a well-deserved rest in the nightcap. Jake Rogers has flashed some power in the early going, though Haase should remain the primary catcher in Detroit, and he can also play some in the outfield.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Tuesday's game against the Mets that Smith (concussion) is "days away" from being activated from the injured list, but it won't be before Thursday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Smith still has a few boxes to check and he won't be able to do so before the series against the Cubs begins Thursday. The Dodgers are understandably taking every precaution they can with their starting backstop, and while he has a chance to return this week, there are no guarantees when coming back from a head injury.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the White Sox.

Realmuto caught all nine innings of the Phillies' 7-4 win in Game 1, going 2-for-5 with a run. Garrett Stubbs will be the starting catcher for the nightcap.

Contreras isn't in the Brewers' lineup Tuesday against Seattle.

After a 1-for-4 performance with a walk and an RBI in Monday's win, Contreras will take a seat Tuesday against Logan Gilbert and the Mariners. Victor Caratini will start at catcher in his place and bat seventh.

Sullivan will start at catcher and bat ninth in his MLB debut Tuesday against Atlanta.

The 29-year-old could get a handful of starts behind the plate for the Padres while Luis Campusano recovers from a left thumb sprain. Campusano was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday and Austin Nola is on the bench Tuesday. Sullivan was sporting an .800 OPS with one home run and three stolen bases through nine games this season at Triple-A El Paso.

Langeliers isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Langeliers has been crushing the ball lately, slashing .350/.409/.750 with two homers and seven RBI over the past week. He gets a breather Tuesday as Carlos Perez takes over behind the plate and bats seventh.

Nola isn't starting Tuesday against Atlanta, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

After recording a base hit for the third consecutive game Monday, Nola will get a day off Tuesday so that Brett Sullivan can make his MLB debut and bat ninth.

Heim isn't starting Tuesday against the Royals.

Heim is 4-for-12 with two RBI and four walks over his last four games, earning him a day of rest Tuesday. Sandy Leon will take over behind the dish and bat ninth.

Bart is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

After making three straight starts at catcher for the Giants, Bart will give way Tuesday to Blake Sabol. David Villar is taking a turn in the designated hitter role.
