Miguel Amaya C | CHC
Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Goes deep in loss
Amaya went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the White Sox.
Amaya batted ninth and provided a small jolt in the sixth inning when he launched his third home run of the year, though the Cubs already trailed 7-0 at that point. The 27-year-old catcher is in a clear backup role to Carson Kelly at the moment, which limits his overall fantasy upside, but Amaya can provide some offense when given the opportunity to start.

Drake Baldwin C | ATL
Braves' Drake Baldwin: Continues power surge
Baldwin went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two total RBI in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.
Baldwin was the centerpiece of Atlanta's offense, collecting two of the team's four hits and reaching base three times in total. He also produced both of the team's runs on a first-inning solo homer and a fifth-inning RBI single. Baldwin has gone deep four times over his past six games, though all four of those homers have been solo shots. He leads MLB catchers with 13 home runs on the season and ranks second for his position with 36 RBI.

Rodolfo Duran C | SD
Padres' Rodolfo Duran: Slugs first big-league homer
Duran went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against Seattle in a 7-4 victory Saturday.
Duran achieved a professional milestone when he went deep with a two-run shot in the seventh inning for his first big-league homer. The 28-year-old is getting his first taste of the majors while Luis Campusano (toe) is on the 10-day injured list. Duran has previously shown some flashes of power in the minors -- he clubbed 15 home runs over 85 games with Triple-A El Paso in 2025 and had gone deep four times across 23 contests with El Paso before being called up this season.

Keibert Ruiz C | WAS
Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Stays hot with career-high five RBI
Ruiz went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, five RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-3 win over Baltimore.
It was a banner day for Ruiz, who piled up a career-high five RBI while swiping his first bag of the campaign. Ruiz had a .507 OPS on the year through the month of April, but he's gaining momentum in May so far. The switch-hitting catcher turned in his second three-hit performance this month Saturday and is now batting .323 with three homers, five doubles and 11 RBI over his last 31 at-bats to boost his season OPS to .715.

Jose Trevino C | CIN
Reds' Jose Trevino: Exits game with hamstring injury
Trevino was removed from Saturday's game against the Guardians due to a left hamstring injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Trevino went 0-for-1 before being replaced by Tyler Stephenson in the sixth inning. It's unclear when Trevino sustained the injury, but the Reds should have an update on the veteran catcher's status once he undergoes more tests on his hamstring.

Travis d'Arnaud C | LAA
Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: No timetable for return
D'Arnaud (foot) told reporters Saturday that he does not have a timetable for his return from the 10-day injured list, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
D'Arnaud landed on the 10-day injured list May 8 due to right foot plantar fasciitis. He's kept the weight off his foot by using a scooter and relayed that he'll have a better sense of his rehab timeline once he's able to put weight on his foot. Sebastian Rivero will continue to operate as the Angels' backup catcher behind Logan O'Hoppe for as long as d'Arnaud is sidelined.

Daniel Susac C | SF
Giants' Daniel Susac: Sitting Saturday
Susac isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Susac went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during his first game back from the injured list Friday, and the Giants will sit him down Saturday in an effort to ease him back into major-league action. Jesus Rodriguez will handle catching duties and bat ninth while Susac rests.

Logan O'Hoppe C | LAA
Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: In Saturday's lineup
O'Hoppe (wrist) will start at catcher and bat eighth against the Dodgers on Saturday, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.
O'Hoppe was taken out of Friday's game prematurely due to irritation in his left wrist -- the same wrist that fractured in late April and caused him to spend three weeks on the IL. However, he seems to be feeling better ahead of Saturday's contest and will return to the lineup without missing a start. The 26-year-old backstop went 0-for-2 before his removal Friday and currently owns a .566 OPS through 95 plate appearances on the year.

Carson Kelly C | CHC
Cubs' Carson Kelly: Resting up Saturday
Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
Kelly will catch a breather Saturday after notching three hits and four RBI during Friday's victory. Miguel Amaya will catch for starter Jameson Taillon and bat ninth.
