Naylor went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Thursday's 8-5 win over Kansas City.

Naylor's three-run homer in the seventh inning gave the Guardians insurance runs, which they needed to fend off the Royals, who had the tying run at the plate in the eighth. The home run was Naylor's second of the season and upped his RBI total to seven over 28 games. He batted .088 (3-for-34) in the 12 games between his two long balls.

Fermin isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

Fermin will step out of the lineup Thursday to allow Rodolfo Duran to make his MLB debut starting at catcher and batting ninth.

The Padres placed Campusano on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left toe fracture.

It has yet to be revealed how Campusano fractured the toe, but he's likely to spend more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf. He had been hitting the ball well to begin the season but was unable to secure the everyday catching job due to Freddy Fermin's superior work behind the plate. Fermin will likely continue to get more starts with Campusano on the injured list while Rodolfo Duran, who had his contract selected from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, serves as the backup catcher.

The Padres selected Duran from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

The Padres are bringing up Duran as Luis Campusano hits the 10-day injured list with a left toe fracture, while Joe Musgrove (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Duran has slashed .238/.356/.429 with Triple-A El Paso in 2026. The 28-year-old Duran is in the lineup versus the Cardinals on Thursday night, marking his MLB debut.

Rutschman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Rutschman will get a breather after going 3-for-4 with a walk, three RBI and a run scored during the first two games of the series. Samuel Basallo will fill in behind the plate while Taylor Ward works as the DH and Tyler O'Neill starts in the outfield.

Realmuto isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Realmuto has gone 4-for-14 with three RBI and two runs scored in four games since returning from the injured list. He'll get a chance to rest Thursday while Rafael Marchan starts behind the dish and bats ninth.

Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Rays.

It's a routine day of rest for Narvaez, who started three of the previous four tilts. Connor Wong will do the catching and bat eighth for the Red Sox in Thursday's series opener.

The Athletics designated Wynns for assignment Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Shea Langeliers is back from paternity leave, and the A's have elected to keep new acquisition Jonah Heim around as his backup instead of Wynns. The 35-year-old Wynns is just 3-for-39 at the plate this season.

The Athletics activated Langeliers from the paternity list Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Langeliers was away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new addition to the family, but he's back in time for Thursday's series finale in Philadelphia. Austin Wynns has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Moreno is out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pirates.

Moreno started at catcher in three of the first four games after coming off the injured list, so he'll get some rest for Thursday's matinee. James McCann is behind the dish and batting eighth for the Diamondbacks.
