Contreras went 2-for-3 with two walks and four RBI in Wednesday's 12-5 win over the Pirates.

Both knocks were singles but Contreras did plenty of damage with them, driving in runs in the fourth and sixth innings before drawing a bases-loaded walk in the seventh. The star backstop has at least one RBI in five straight games and multi-hit performances in four straight, and over 24 contests since the All-Star break, he's batting .323 (31-for-96) with five doubles, six homers, 19 runs and 22 RBI.

Jensen will not be in Triple-A Omaha's lineup Wednesday due to a right wrist contusion, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Jensen suffered the injury after his hand hit a batting helmet on a throw during Tuesday's game. The 22-year-old top prospect is considered day-to-day, and he could return to the lineup before the end of the week. Jensen is slashing .252/.358/.574 with two steals, eight doubles, nine home runs and 26 RBI over 135 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

Narvaez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.

Narvaez started each of the first two games of the series, but he'll take a seat for the finale. Connor Wong is catching and batting ninth in the rubber match.

Higashioka is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Higashioka was behind the dish for a night game Tuesday, so he'll get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. Jonah Heim will catch and bat eighth for the Rangers.

Dingler is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Dingler started each of the previous six games (five at catcher), so he'll get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. Jake Rogers will do the catching and bat ninth for Detroit.

Goodman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

With a day game after a night game, Goodman will sit after he went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday night's win. Braxton Fulford will catch for Austin Gomber and bat eighth.

Trevino went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Phillies.

The veteran catcher kicked off a two-run rally in the third inning with a one-out single, coming home on a Spencer Steer two-bagger, and Trevino then played a key role in a three-run sixth that broke the game open. He continues to split time with Tyler Stephenson behind the plate, and through five starts in August, Trevino is batting .263 (5-for-19) with a double, two RBI and three runs.

Narvaez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over Houston.

Narvaez swatted his 10th home run of the season, taking Shawn Dubin yard for a three-run shot. The outing snapped a dry spell for the catcher, as he entered the contest with just one hit in his last 25 at-bats. Narvaez has dealt with a minor knee injury recently, but he's now made back-to-back starts behind the dish.

Teel went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Tigers.

Teel was part of a five-run fifth inning for the White Sox, walking with the bases loaded to drive in one. After holding his own through the first month of his time in the majors, Teel has shown signs of breaking out since the All-Star break. Across 17 games, he's hit .310 with two home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored with five total extra-base hits.

Rushing went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Rushing had gone just 3-for-30 (.100) with no extra-base hits and 11 strikeouts over his previous 12 games. Despite the struggles at the plate, he continues to get semi-regular playing time as the backup to Will Smith. Rushing is slashing .202/.269/.298 with two homers, 15 RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles over his first 34 major-league games.
