  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Three hits including homer

    Trevino went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

    Trevino singled and scored in the sixth inning and then went deep for a two-run shot off Kenny Rosenberg in the eighth. He also had a single earlier in the contest and the three-hit effort was his second in five games. Over those contests, Trevino has gone 7-for-15 for two homers, five RBI and three runs. He will likely continue earning more opportunities to start behind the plate if he remains hot.

  • Astros' Martin Maldonado: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Maldonado is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Oakland.

    Maldonado started the past two games and will receive Tuesday off. Jason Castro will take over behind the plate for the Astros.

  • Pirates' Michael Perez: Not starting against lefty

    Perez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Perez broke an 0-for-16 slump by going 1-for-4 with an RBI during Monday's victory, but he'll take a seat Tuesday with southpaw Julio Urias pitching for Los Angeles. Tyler Heineman will work behind the plate and bat eighth.

  • Omar Narvaez C | HOU

    Brewers' Omar Narvaez: On bench versus southpaw

    Narvaez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Narvaez has a four-game hit streak during which he's gone 8-for-15 with a triple, a double, an RBI and four runs, but he'll take a seat Tuesday with lefty Justin Steele pitching for Chicago. Victor Caratini will work behind the plate.

  • Braves' William Contreras: On bench again Tuesday

    Contreras remains on the bench Tuesday against Arizona.

    The arrival of Michael Harris may have forced Contreras into a bench role. Harris will start his fourth straight game in center field Tuesday, pushing Adam Duvall to left field. Duvall, Marcell Ozuna and Ronald Acuna should fill the outfield corners and the designated hitter spot most days, though Contreras should still feature occasionally in any of those three spots as well as in a backup catcher role.

  • Austin Nola C | COL

    Padres' Austin Nola: Out of lineup

    Nola will be on the bench Tuesday against St. Louis.

    Nola has struggled to a .223/.288/.281 line at the plate this season, but he remains the Padres' primary catcher, starting 28 of the team's 49 games behind the plate. Jorge Alfaro, who starts Tuesday, has hit .257/.288/.378.

  • Gary Sanchez C | MIL

    Twins' Gary Sanchez: Sits for nightcap

    Sanchez is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

    With Ryan Jeffers behind the plate for Game 2 and Byron Buxton getting a game out of the field and serving as the designated hitter, Sanchez will hit the bench for the nightcap. He started at catcher and went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in the Twins' 8-2 win in Game 1.

  • Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Moves rehab to Triple-A

    The Phillies transferred Marchan's (hamstring) rehab assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

    Marchan will get a stiffer test after he went 3-for-13 with two doubles, two walks and a run scored in the first four games of his rehab assignment at High-A Jersey Shore. The 23-year-old has been stuck on the 60-day injured list all season and may not overtake Garrett Stubbs as the Phillies' No. 2 catcher behind J.T. Realmuto whenever he's ultimately activated.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Good to go Tuesday

    Jansen (hip) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    Jansen didn't play in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Angels due to a minor hip issue, but he's apparently feeling fine coming out of Monday's team off day. As the Blue Jays' top defensive catcher, Jansen should see a slightly larger share of the work behind the plate as the team begins a six-game homestand, though Alejandro Kirk will stick in the lineup Tuesday as Toronto's designated hitter.

  • Red Sox's Christian Vazquez: Gets Tuesday off

    Vazquez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Vazquez started at catcher in each of the Red Sox's last three games, so he's likely just receiving some routine maintenance Tuesday. Kevin Plawecki replaces him behind the dish, batting eighth in the lineup.
