  • Riley Adams C | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Adams: Idle for first game of day

    Adams is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

    Drew Millas will start behind the plate for the early game, but Adams will presumably return to the lineup for the nightcap to handle catching duties. Since Keibert Ruiz (concussion) landed on the 7-day injured list June 24, Adams had started in four of the Nationals' last five games.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Idle for early game

    Dingler is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Washington.

    Jake Rogers will get the nod behind the plate in the first game of the day while Dingler rests up. Expect Dingler to start at catcher in the second game of the day.

  • Joe Mack C | MIA

    Marlins' Joe Mack: Goes yard twice for Jacksonville

    Mack went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI for Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

    All of a sudden, the 22-year-old catcher might be the hottest hitter in the International League. Over the last seven games, Mack has gone 16-for-29 (.552) with two doubles, five homers, nine runs and nine RBI. There's no room for him on the big-league roster right now, but Mack could rocket up prospect lists in the second half if he continues to rake.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Sitting again in favor of Davis

    Bart is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Even with the Pirates and Cardinals wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, Pittsburgh will go with Henry Davis at catcher for the second day in a row. Since returning from the injured list June 17, Bart has made eight starts to Davis' seven starts, but Davis has started behind the dish in three of the last four contests.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Grabbing seat in series finale

    Langeliers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

    Langeliers hit home runs Monday and Tuesday in his first two games back from the injured list and will receive a breather for Wednesday's matinee. Austin Wynns will start at catcher and bat sixth for the Athletics.

  • Danny Jansen C | MIL

    Rays' Danny Jansen: On bench for series finale

    Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    The right-handed-hitting Jansen continues to serve as the Rays' primary catcher against left-handed pitching, but he and the lefty-hitting Matt Thaiss have essentially been working in a timeshare against righties since the latter backstop was acquired from the White Sox on May 27. Thaiss will get the nod behind the dish Wednesday after Jansen had started each of the last three contests, two of which came while the Athletics sent lefties to the hill.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Belts two homers in return

    Goodman went 2-for-4 with two solo homers, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

    After being out of the lineup since June 25 with a left hamstring injury, Goodman made a statement in his return Tuesday by launching solo home runs in the first and ninth innings. While the Rockies have endured a difficult season, the young catcher is enjoying a breakout campaign, slashing .290/.337/.532 with 36 extra-base hits (16 home runs) and 50 RBI across 77 games.

  • Astros' Victor Caratini: Belts grand slam

    Caratini went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

    Caratini helped power the Astros to a win Tuesday with a third-inning grand slam, his seventh home run of the season. The veteran catcher has been hovering around league average at the dish in 2025, slashing .246/.303/.402 with 14 extra-base hits, 23 RBI and a 97 OPS+ in 57 games.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Drives in three Tuesday

    Perez went 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

    Perez had gone 4-for-23 (.174) with two RBI over his previous six games. He broke out of that small slump in this contest, supplying a two-run double in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the ninth to account for half of the Royals' runs. The catcher has showed some signs of aging in his age-35 season, batting .237 with a .670 OPS, nine home runs, 46 RBI, 19 runs scored and 22 doubles across 81 games. He last had an OPS under .700 for a full year in 2014 -- given his track record, he could turn things around to close out 2025.

  • Danny Jansen C | MIL

    Rays' Danny Jansen: Power picking up

    Jansen went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Athletics.

    Jansen smacked a solo home run in the seventh inning, his ninth long ball of the season. He's homered five times across his last 18 starts, also tallying 13 RBI and 11 runs scored in that span. Jansen remains the primary catcher for the Rays, though Matt Thaiss still gets plenty of starts.
