  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Drives in three in win

    Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Ruiz laced what proved to be a game-winning RBI single in the seventh inning before adding a two-run double in the ninth. The catcher has now hit safely in 10 of his past 12 games, tallying a home run, six RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over that span. For the year, he's slashing .285/.316/.475 with six homers, 33 RBI, 26 runs scored and two steals across 190 plate appearances.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Hitting bench while Skubal starts

    Wells is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

    With an ace lefty (Tarik Skubal) on the bump for Detroit, Wells will be one of the four left-handed Yankees batters who will head to the bench. Jazz Chisholm (head), Cody Bellinger and Spencer Jones will also exit the starting nine.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Not starting Tuesday

    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

    Stephenson started four of the previous five games and will get a rest Tuesday. He has an underwhelming .674 OPS for the season but is batting .345 (10-for-29) with two doubles and a homer over his past nine contests.

  • Liam Hicks C | MIA

    Marlins' Liam Hicks: Returns from injured list

    The Marlins activated Hicks (back) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    The 27-year-old has been dealing with a lower-back strain but is ready to rejoin the Marlins after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Miami has yet to release its starting nine for Tuesday's contest, but Hicks should immediately reclaim a prominent spot in the lineup.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Taking seat Tuesday

    Rutschman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

    Rutschman started each of the last two days after being activated from the 7-day concussion injured list, but he'll get a breather Tuesday. Samuel Basallo is doing the catching for the Orioles.

  • Rays' Caden Bodine: Promoted to Double-A

    Bodine has been promoted from High-A Bowling Green to Double-A Montgomery, Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay News reports.

    Bodine began the season at Single-A Charleston, and between two stops he's collected a .360/.422/.545 batting line with nine home runs and a 25:16 BB:K over 65 games. The 22-year-old's .360 batting average and 5.3 percent strikeout rate lead all minor leaguers. Bodine was taken in the first round of the 2025 First-Year Player Draft by the Orioles before being traded to the Rays over the offseason in the Shane Baz deal.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Goes deep again Monday

    Goodman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in a loss to the Marlins on Monday.

    Goodman continued his power binge with a 442-foot solo shot to left-center field in the seventh inning. The backstop has now gone deep five times over his past four contests, with a three-homer game against Minnesota on Saturday providing the bulk of those long balls. Goodman ranks second in the majors with 26 home runs overall, and he's already five away from the impressive 31 homers he slugged across 144 contests in his breakout campaign last year.

  • Twins' Victor Caratini: Reaches three times, clubs homer

    Caratini went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks against Houston in a 5-4 victory Monday.

    Caratini went back-to-back with Royce Lewis in the fourth inning to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. After going deep just three times over his first 52 contests of the campaign, Caratini has swatted four home runs across his past 10 games. He's had a standout June, batting .355 with five homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and a 9:11 BB:K over 19 contests. Ryan Jeffers (hand) could return to action at some point in July, but Caratini may have done enough in Jeffers' absence to retain more than a typical backup's workload.

  • Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Racks up season-high four RBI

    Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and an additional RBI in Monday's 11-7 win over the Phillies.

    Rodriguez piled up a season-high RBI in his eighth multi-hit game of the season. The 25-year-old backstop has soundly outproduced Henry Davis as Pittsburgh's top catcher, and his stay atop the depth chart was solidified when the Pirates traded away Joey Bart earlier in June. Since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, Rodriguez is slashing .271/.404/.482 with four big flies, six doubles, 15 RBI and two stolen bases over 105 plate appearances.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Resting up Monday

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    Diaz will get a breather for the series opener after he started in each of the Astros' last three games. Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties Monday.
