  • Phillies' Mark Kolozsvary: Healthy again, sent to Double-A

    Kolozsvary (undisclosed) went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Tuesday for Double-A Reading after he was assigned to the affiliate when he was activated from Triple-A Lehigh Valley's 60-day injured list.

    Kolozsvary finished the 2025 campaign in the Red Sox organization on Triple-A Worcester's full-season injured list before signing a minor-league deal with Philadelphia in December. The 30-year-old catcher remained shelved to begin the season before starting up a rehab assignment in the Florida State League shortly after the All-Star break. Deemed healthy again after making 12 appearances in the lower levels of the minors, Kolozsvary looks set to fill a depth role at Reading.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Exiting starting lineup

    Jeffers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Orioles.

    Jeffers will grab a seat for Wednesday's matinee after starting behind the dish in the first two games of the series. Victor Caratini will do the catching for the Twins.

  • Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Makes Red Sox debut

    Rutschman went 1-for-3 with two walks in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Rutschman made his debut for the Red Sox and batted third in the order. He was acquired by Boston at the trade deadline but was unable to play before Tuesday due to wrist inflammation. He should serve as the team's primary catcher with Connor Wong slotted as the backup.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Provides key hit in win

    Stephenson went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

    Cincinnati hitters were befuddled by Chicago starter Sean Burke for seven innings but made their move in the eighth, scoring three runs against the White Sox's bullpen. Stephenson's two-run, bases-loaded single plated the game-tying run and set up the need for an extra frame. The catcher continued a productive stretch since the All-Star break and is slashing .288/.373/.593 with 11 RBI over the last 17 contests.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Powers Padres in blowout win

    Campusano went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Brewers.

    Campusano launched San Diego's third homer off Kyle Harrison, taking the left-hander deep for a two-run shot in the fifth inning for his fifth long ball of the season. He added singles in each of his next two at-bats, with one driving in another run to cap his three-RBI performance. Campusano has been swinging a hot bat lately, collecting 14 hits over his last 10 games. He owns an impressive .311 average and .410 OBP on the season, though his .250 expected average suggests some negative regression could be coming.

  • Giants' Drew Cavanaugh: Logs first career steal

    Cavanaugh went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Astros.

    Cavanaugh logged the first steal of his career when he swiped second in the second inning. The catcher has gone 9-for-34 (.265) at the plate since the All-Star break, and even with Andrew Knizner in the fold, Cavanaugh is likely to get some on-the-job experience in a starting role, at least until Jesus Rodriguez (elbow) is healthy. Cavanaugh is batting .242 with a .609 OPS, no home runs, five RBI, four runs scored and a double over 79 plate appearances in his first taste of the majors this year.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Pops solo homer

    Quero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Reds.

    Quero has been in the lineup for three of four games since he was promoted to the majors, with all of those starts coming against lefties. The usage makes it unclear whether he will play ahead of Drew Romo against righties, or if the two will operate in more of a platoon while the White Sox are without Kyle Teel (ankle) and Joey Bart (hand). Quero has at least taken advantage of his opportunity to this point by going 2-for-8 with three walks and no strikeouts following his call-up from Triple-A Charlotte.

    Orioles' Yohel Pozo: X-rays negative

    X-rays on Pozo's left index finger came back negative following his removal from Tuesday's game against the Twins, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

    Pozo was pulled from Tuesday's contest immediately after taking a pitch off his hand in the third inning, but he managed to escape the incident without suffering structural damage. He may be held out of action for a day or two while he deals with lingering soreness, giving more opportunities to Carlos Narvaez.

    Orioles' Yohel Pozo: Dealing with finger injury

    Pozo suffered a left index finger injury in Tuesday's game versus the Minnesota, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Pozo took a swing off his glove hand in the bottom of the third inning, and he was removed from the contest immediately afterward. The catcher is dealing with "left index finger pain," and an exact diagnosis of his injury will likely come following additional imaging by the team.

  • Yohel Pozo C | BAL

    Orioles' Yohel Pozo: Exits early with injury

    Pozo (hand) exited Tuesday's contest against the Twins in the third inning, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Pozo had his glove knocked off his left hand on a swing by Twins designated hitter Josh Bell, and the catcher appeared to be in a lot of pain. To add insult to injury, Pozo was called for catcher interference, and Bell was awarded first base. Carlos Narvaez replaced Pozo in the contest, and more information on 29-year-old's status will likely be provided in the near future.
