  • Austin Wynns C | TEX

    Orioles' Austin Wynns: Scores twice in big win

    Wynns went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs scored in Sunday's 18-5 win over Cleveland.

    Wynns hasn't done much in three games since he took Chance Sisco's spot on the roster. The hits Sunday were his first two of the year. He should continue to back up Pedro Severino, although neither catcher has inspired much confidence with the bat so far.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Blasts fifth homer

    Realmuto went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, two runs, two walks and one strikeout in Sunday's 12-6 win over the Nationals.

    Realmuto has gotten on base in each of his seven games since returning from the 10-day injured list, and he extended Philadelphia's lead with his three-run blast in the sixth inning Sunday. Since returning from his hand injury, the 30-year-old has slashed .304/.452/.478 with a home run, six RBI and five runs.

  • James McCann C | ARI

    Mets' James McCann: Third homer in four games

    McCann went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts as New York defeated San Diego 6-2 Sunday.

    McCann was quiet at the dish until taking San Diego reliever Craig Stammen deep to center in the eighth to extend the Mets' lead to 6-1. Four of McCann's six home runs have come since May 29 as he's 10-for-21 with six extra-base hits during the seven-game hot streak.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Overcomes hamstring injury

    Wong has gone 1-for-11 with a double and an RBI in his three games at Triple-A Worcester since returning from a three-week absence due to a hamstring injury.

    Worcester never placed Wong on the 7-day injured list, even though his recovery from the hamstring issue lingered longer than anticipated. The 25-year-old backstop maintains a .408 OPS on the season while striking out in 32 percent of his plate appearances.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Slated for further testing

    Jansen (hamstring) will receive further testing Sunday and Monday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

    Jansen exited Sunday's game against Houston with a right hamstring strain, but manager Charlie Montoyo described the strain as mild. If the 26-year-old needs to spend time on the injured list, Riley Adams could be an option to be called up as catching depth.

  • Padres' Victor Caratini: Resting Sunday

    Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    After he was behind the plate for all nine innings of Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Mets, Caratini will be given a routine breather for the day game after a night game. Webster Rivas will catch starting pitcher Chris Paddack in the series finale.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Suffers hamstring strain

    Jansen left Sunday's game against the Astros with a right hamstring strain, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

    Reese McGuire took over at catcher in the fourth inning, and it has now been revealed that Jansen is dealing with the hamstring issue. A further update should be given later Sunday, but it should be noted that such injuries often lead to multi-week absences.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Exits Sunday

    Jansen left Sunday's game against the Astros with an undisclosed injury, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    It's not clear what Jansen may have injured, but his removal came shortly after sliding into third base. Reese McGuire replaced him behind the plate. Further updates on the backstop should become available later Sunday.

  • Elias Diaz C | TEX

    Rockies' Elias Diaz: Sits after three straight starts

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    Though Diaz will sit out the series finale, he may have at least temporarily supplanted Dom Nunez as the Rockies' No. 1 catcher. Diaz caught in each of the Rockies' previous three games, making two starts against right-handed pitchers during that time.

  • Cubs' Willson Contreras: Takes seat Sunday

    Contreras is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Giants.

    Contreras will rest up Sunday after starting the first three games of the series in San Francisco. P.J. Higgins will get the start behind the plate, though Contreras could be an option to pinch hit later in the contest.
