  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Taking Saturday off

    Naylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Naylor went 0-for-4 with a walk in the final game of Friday's twin bill and will now take a seat on the bench while Austin Hedges catches for starter Tanner Bibee.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Sitting out Saturday

    Stephenson is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rockies.

    Stephenson continues to alternate starts with Jose Trevino, with this being Stephenson's third absence in the last seven games. Trevino will hit eighth in the order Saturday.

  • Royals' Freddy Fermin: Sitting down Saturday

    Fermin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Mets.

    Fermin will sit down for the fourth time in five games after making five consecutive starts earlier in the month. Salvador Perez will serve as Kansas City's catcher while Jonathan India gets a turn as the DH.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Not starting Saturday

    Smith is not in the lineup Saturday against the Giants.

    Smith had started two straight games, but his day off Saturday should set him up to be in the lineup Sunday as the Dodgers head into the All-Star break. Dalton Rushing will take over at catcher and hit ninth.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Resting Saturday

    Pages isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    After going 1-for-2 with two RBI during Friday's loss, Pages will give way to Yohel Pozo behind the dish.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Sitting Saturday

    Baldwin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis.

    Baldwin will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after going 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's series opener. Sean Murphy will pick up another start at catcher and bat fourth.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Delivers game-winning hit

    Heim went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Astros.

    Heim's two-run double in the third inning turned out to be the game-winning knock. July is shaping up to be the catcher's best month. Heim, who's batting .224 for the season, is 10-for-38 (.263) with three doubles and six RBI over 10 games this month.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Idle Saturday

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

    Dingler will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout and a HBP during Friday's series opener. Jake Rogers will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Riley Adams C | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Adams: Belts fourth homer

    Adams went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's loss to the Brewers.

    Getting another start behind the plate and batting ninth, Adams led off the seventh inning by lofting a Quinn Priester slider over the left-field fence for his fourth homer of the year. Adams has started four of five games since Keibert Ruiz (concussion) was placed on the IL, going 3-for-15 with five strikeouts, and his fantasy upside remains limited even with the extra playing time.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Continues to amaze in two-homer day

    Raleigh went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 12-3 win over the Tigers.

    Raleigh put on another show, launching a solo shot in the eighth before blasting a grand slam an inning later, pushing his league-leading home run total to 38, just one shy of tying the MLB record for homers before the All-Star break. While the 28-year-old is now batting just 6-for-36 (.167) over his last 10 games, all six hits have left the yard, a testament to his elite power even amid contact struggles.
