Baldwin isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Baldwin will grab a seat on the bench Thursday after belting his ninth home run of the season during Wednesday's loss. While he rests, Sean Murphy will start behind the dish and bat fifth.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and two total RBI in a 5-2 win against Boston on Wednesday.

D'Arnaud tied the game with his solo shot in the fourth inning and followed with an RBI single in the fifth. The veteran backstop finished with three hits, equaling the amount he had collected over his previous 26 at-bats coming into Wednesday. D'Arnaud has worked as the backup behind Logan O'Hoppe throughout the campaign and has posted a .225/.271/.383 slash line with four homers and 12 RBI through 129 plate appearances.

Hicks isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus San Francisco.

Hicks will get a chance to catch his breath Thursday after going 5-for-16 with an RBI and a run scored across his last five games. His absence will put Agustin Ramirez in the DH spot while Nick Fortes starts behind the plate.

Bailey isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey will rest during Thursday's series finale after going 1-for-6 with an RBI and two strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Andrew Knizner will catch instead for starter Hayden Birdsong and bat ninth.

Mitchell (wrist) went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk Wednesday in the Arizona Complex League.

Mitchell, one of the Royals' top prospects, has had his 2025 campaign disrupted by a fractured hamate bone in his right wrist that required surgery Feb. 26. His initial rehab assignment was shut down May 13, but he returned to game action in the Arizona Complex League on Monday, going 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and three walks across two games. The 2023 first-round pick showcased impressive plate discipline and power in Low-A last season, slashing .238/.376/.439 with 37 extra-base hits and 50 RBI over 106 games before struggling in a brief five-game stint at High-A. Mitchell remains a ways off from the big leagues, but Kansas City has to be encouraged by his return to game action and continued progress toward rejoining a full-season affiliate.

Baldwin went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

The rookie backstop took Clay Holmes deep in the fourth inning to briefly tie the game at 1-1, before the floodgates opened for the Mets in the bottom of the frame. Baldwin has started two of every three games lately as he takes a firmer hold of the top job over Sean Murphy, and over his last six games he's batting .316 (6-for-19) with two of his nine homers on the season, plus five runs and seven RBI.

Goodman is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

Goodman reached base four times in the first two games of the series but will nonetheless take a seat for Thursday's finale. Braxton Fulford is at catcher and batting eighth for the Rockies.

Realmuto is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston.

It's a well-earned day of rest for Realmuto, who started at catcher in each of the Phillies' previous five contests. Rafael Marchan will be behind the dish for Thursday's matinee.

Perez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

It's the first day off in more than a month for Perez, who has gone 1-for-8 at the plate in the first two games of the series. Freddy Fermin is catching and batting eighth for the Royals in Thursday's series finale.

Kirk is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Cleveland.

Kirk started at catcher in each of the previous four games, so he's earned a day off for Thursday's matinee. Tyler Heineman will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Blue Jays.
