  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Out again Saturday

    Rutschman (abdomen) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Rutschman was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to abdominal tightness, and he'll sit out a second consecutive game while he continues to recover. Gary Sanchez will start behind the plate and bat seventh. Per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, Rutschman underwent an MRI on Saturday.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: First career extra-base hit

    Teel went 1-for-4 with a double Friday against the Blue Jays.

    After Teel collected hits in both of his first two big-league games, he slowed at the plate and has hit just .174 with a 37.9 percent strikeout rate in his last nine games. He's started only two of the White Sox's last four contests after playing nearly every day, though Chicago will almost certainly still look to get him in the lineup regularly. Teel has also started to turn things around slowly, tallying at least one hit in each of his last four starts while logging his first career extra-base hit Friday.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Taking seat Saturday

    Wells isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore.

    Wells will get a day off Saturday after going 1-for-4 in Friday's series opener. His absence will give J.C. Escarra a start at catcher.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Not starting Saturday

    Dingler isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

    Dingler will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's series opener. Jake Rogers will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Three hits in loss

    Bart went 3-for-4 with an RBI against the Rangers on Friday.

    Bart started for the third time in four games since being activated from the injured list, and he has hit sixth, third and fifth in the Pittsburgh lineup. He is now 4-for-11 with two RBI since returning and has regained the top catcher role from Henry Davis.

  • Matt Thaiss C | TB

    Rays' Matt Thaiss: Drives in four runs

    Thaiss went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and four RBI in Friday's 14-8 win over Detroit.

    Thaiss gave the Rays a four-run lead in the first inning with a two-run double before driving in two more runs on separate RBI singles in the sixth and eighth. It was Thaiss's fifth multi-hit game and second multi-RBI contest this season. Since being acquired by the Rays in late May, he has gone 9-for-28 (.321) with four runs scored, five walks and five RBI.

  • Gary Sanchez C | BAL

    Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Drives in two runs

    Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a two-run single in Friday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.

    Sanchez got the Orioles on the board early with a two-run single in the first inning. He has started in four games since returning from a wrist injury June 14, and over that span he has gone 6-for-14 (.429) with five runs scored, two home runs and seven RBI.

  • Riley Adams C | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Adams: Snaps slump with homer

    Adams went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

    Adams rarely gets much playing time even as a backup catcher. He certainly hasn't hit his way into a larger role -- prior to Friday, he was 0-for-30 with 13 strikeouts over his previous 11 games, with his last hit being a homer May 6 versus the Guardians. The 28-year-old has a .103/.133/.276 slash line with three homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and one double over 21 contests this season, and he currently poses no threat to Keibert Ruiz's playing time.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Sitting down Friday

    O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

    O'Hoppe will grab a seat on the bench for Friday's series opener after going 2-for-10 with two walks and a run scored in the Angels' last series against the Yankees. Travis d'Arnaud will take over behind the dish and bat fifth.

  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Resting Friday

    Ruiz is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

    Ruiz -- who went 1-for-12 over his last three starts -- will get a breather for Friday's series opener. Riley Adams will serve behind home plate and bat eighth while catching pitches from Nationals southpaw MacKenzie Gore.
