  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Getting breather Saturday

    Pages isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Pages will sit out Saturday's contest after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Friday's series opener. His absence will give Jimmy Crooks another start behind the plate catching for Michael McGreevy.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Out of lineup

    Rutschman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Wells isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Baltimore.

    Wells will head to the bench for Saturday's contest after logging five hits over his last three games. Ben Rice will catch for starter Cam Schlittler instead, opening up first base for Paul Goldschmidt.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Swipes two bags in win

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Friday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

    The rookie catcher has showed off his speed during the second half of the season -- he now has five multi-steal games since the start of August. Ramirez has still cooled down considerably at the dish after a torrid start to his major-league career, as he has a .639 OPS since the beginning of July, but he still looks like Miami's backstop for the future. Through 531 at-bats, Ramirez is batting .232 with 21 homers, 33 doubles, 67 RBI and 16 stolen bases.

  • Nick Fortes C | TB

    Rays' Nick Fortes: Sitting Friday

    Fortes is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

    Fortes will yield to Hunter Feduccia behind the dish Friday. Feduccia has now started three of the Rays' last four games and four straight against right-handed pitchers.
