Senger was lifted from his game with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday ahead of a potential promotion, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Francisco Alvarez left the Mets' game early Tuesday with a potential knee injury and is headed for an MRI, and Senger got pulled at Syracuse soon afterward. If Alvarez has to miss any time, Senger would be added to the 26-man roster to back up Luis Torrens behind the plate.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Astros.

After drawing a walk in the first inning, Raleigh's hitless skid continued in his next two at-bats with a strikeout and a flyout, but he finally put an end to an 0-for-38 stretch at the plate in the seventh, when he sent a hard-hit single into right center. Raleigh followed with another base hit off AJ Blubaugh in his final at-bat off the night, offering hope to fantasy managers that better days are ahead for the reigning American League MVP runner-up. Even after reaching base three times Tuesday, Raleigh is still maintaining a lowly .249 on-base percentage for the season, placing him 171st among baseball's 176 qualified hitters.

Alvarez (knee) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The catcher left Tuesday's game in the sixth inning after awkwardly twisting his right leg on a swing. After the game, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said only "we've got to wait" for the results of the imaging to determine a timeline for Alvarez's return. Given Alvarez's spotty track record when it comes to staying healthy, expect Luis Torrens to be behind the plate Wednesday against the Tigers regardless of the results. Alvarez is slashing .241/.317/.393 through 37 games this season with four homers and 10 RBI.

Baltimore recalled Handley from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

The 28-year-old was elevated to Baltimore as the corresponding move for Dylan Beavers (oblique) being placed on the 10-day IL. Handley will be the third catcher on Baltimore's 26-man roster, providing some insurance with Samuel Basallo regularly starting as the designated hitter.

Basallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Per Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun, manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that Basallo had "earned the right" to face left-handed pitchers, but the Orioles will nonetheless keep the 21-year-old on the bench Wednesday for a matchup with southpaw Max Fried. The decision to hold Basallo out may have less to do with the matchup than the fact that the youngster recently overcame a minor left knee issue. After being scratched from the lineup Monday, Basallo returned to the starting nine for Tuesday's 6-2 loss as the Orioles' designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run.

Wells is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Baltimore.

Wells started at catcher in the first two contests of the series, so he'll get some rest in Wednesday's matinee. J.C. Escarra will do the catching for Max Fried in the rubber match.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

In four games with his new team, the switch-hitting Bailey has been in the lineup both times against righties and out of the lineup on both occasions versus lefties. While Bailey could continue to sit against southpaws, it's also possible his absence from Wednesday's lineup is simply due to it being an afternoon game after he started Tuesday night. Another factor into the decision to sit Bailey is that Parker Messick is Wednesday's starter, and Austin Hedges has been his personal catcher.

Haase went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

Haase got the Giants on the board in the third inning with his first homer this year. He followed it up by going back-to-back with Harrison Bader in the fifth. This was Haase's first multi-hit effort of the campaign as well. He's gone 6-for-18 (.333) with four RBI and two doubles across six games. For now, he's sharing the catching duties with Jesus Rodriguez, though Daniel Susac (elbow) will likely be in the mix soon since he's on a rehab assignment. It's unclear if Haase has shown enough in limited action to maintain a spot on the big-league roster once Susac is healthy, but a performance like Tuesday's will certainly help him build his case.

Perez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the White Sox.

Perez crushed an outside sinker from Erick Fedde over the right-field fence for a solo homer to give the Royals an early 2-0 lead in the first frame, though Kansas City was unable to hold on in a disappointing defeat. The veteran backstop has long staved off Father Time, but he has shown notable decline offensively so far in 2026. Through 40 games, the 36-year-old is slashing .197/.238/.344 with six homers, five doubles, 18 RBI and 15 runs. Tuesday snapped a four-game hitless streak for Perez, who will look to build on the performance and heat up at the plate moving forward.

Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 3-0 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

Neither team produced much offense, and Jeffers' two-run blast in the fifth inning was the only extra-base hit in the contest. The backstop has gone deep twice in his past four games and is 6-for-15 at the plate over that span. Jeffers has been arguably the Twins' best hitter this season, posting a .299/.406/.542 slash line with six homers, 22 runs, a team-leading 25 RBI and a stolen base through 32 games.
