  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Getting breather Friday

    Quero is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

    Quero will get the day off Friday after making three straight starts -- two at DH and one at catcher. Kyle Teel will slot in behind the plate while Andrew Benintendi serves as the designated hitter.

  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Begins rehab assignment

    Rushing (lower leg) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Rushing has been sidelined since Saturday with a shin injury, but it appears that he has the chance to be activated after a minimum stint on the injured list. He went 1-for-4 with a double and caught all nine innings of Thursday's game.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Collects two RBI vs. Bronx Bombers

    Dingler went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an RBI single during the Tigers' 9-3 loss to the Yankees on Thursday.

    Dingler put the Tigers on the board in the second inning with an RBI single before logging his second RBI of the night on a solo homer in the seventh. Dingler has been hot at the plate as of late, having gone 14-for-37 (.378) with two home runs and four RBI over his last 10 games.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Likely to return near minimum

    O'Hoppe (concussion) is expected to return to the lineup during the Angels' upcoming series at Milwaukee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    O'Hoppe has been sidelined with a concussion since Monday and is reportedly feeling better. It's unclear if he'll be activated for the start of the series against the Brewers when first eligible Tuesday, but his absence should be relatively brief.

  • Angels' Sebastian Rivero: Riding pine Thursday

    Rivero isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Seattle, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Rivero started three straight games behind the plate upon coming up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, going 3-for-11 with two RBI and three runs scored in the process. He'll now receive a day off with Travis d'Arnaud set to catch for Jose Soriano.

  • Riley Adams C | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Adams: Back in lineup Thursday

    Adams (groin) will start at catcher and bat third in Thursday's game versus the Marlins.

    Adams had to exit Tuesday's game after taking a foul tip to the groin area, but he checked out fine and is back in there after one day of rest. The 29-year-old has been operating as the Nationals' primary catcher since Keibert Ruiz (concussion) was sidelined and is slashing .239/.316/.380 with five home runs over 43 contests during that time.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Sitting Thursday

    Alvarez isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

    Alvarez will get a day to regroup after going just 2-for-18 with nine strikeouts in six games since returning from the injured list. Hayden Senger will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Out of Pittsburgh lineup

    Davis is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Baltimore.

    Davis started at catcher in each of the first two games of the series, so he'll get a breather during Thursday's matinee. Joey Bart is behind the dish and batting sixth for the Pirates.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Breather for day game

    Kirk is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Astros.

    Kirk started at catcher each of the previous three contests, so he'll get some rest during Thursday's matinee. Tyler Heineman will do the catching and bat eighth for the Blue Jays.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Produces team's lone run in loss

    Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a loss to the Tigers.

    Wells' eighth-inning homer was merely a consolation in keeping the Yankees from being shut out, as it made the score 8-1 in favor of Detroit. Nonetheless, it was a positive sign for the alertness of Wells' bat, as he had gone 1-for-12 over his previous 16 plate appearances. Wells has an unremarkable .715 OPS on the campaign, but he's been a good source of power from the catcher position with 21 homers and 66 RBI through 113 contests.
