  • Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Pulled with knee injury

    Marchan was removed from Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to left knee pain, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Marchan went 0-for-3 before leaving the game in the ninth inning. He's scheduled to undergo imaging during Philadelphia's day off Thursday, and an update on his status is likely to come before the team begins its weekend series against the Yankees.

  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Powers offense in win

    Rushing went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Phillies.

    Rushing got the Dodgers on the board with a solo homer in the third inning before giving them a 3-2 lead with a two-run double in the fifth. It was a much-needed effort for the 25-year-old, who entered the game mired in an 0-for-19 slump dating back to July 7. On the season, he's hitting .247/.338/.474 with 11 home runs, 33 RBI and 32 runs scored across 222 plate appearances.

  • Twins' Victor Caratini: Exits with knee injury

    Caratini was removed from Wednesday's game against the Guardians due to a right knee contusion, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Caratini wasn't able to finish his at-bat in the fifth inning after fouling a ball off his knee. He appears to have escaped the incident without suffering any structural damage, though the Twins could still give him a day or two off to recover as a precaution.

  • James McCann C | ARI

    Diamondbacks' James McCann: Homer, three RBI in rout

    McCann went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 15-5 win over the Athletics.

    McCann launched a two-run homer in the fifth inning before driving in another run with a single in the sixth. The 36-year-old has hit safely in each of his four games since returning from the injured list July 7, going deep three times with eight RBI during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .257/.276/.419 with three homers, 14 RBI and seven runs scored across just 78 plate appearances while serving as the club's backup catcher.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Getting rest in Game 2

    Wells isn't in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

    Wells went 1-for-1 with a walk and a run scored during the first half of the twin bill and will watch the nightcap from the bench while Ali Sanchez starts at catcher and bats ninth.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Resting during nightcap

    Wong isn't in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

    After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during Boston's matinee victory, Wong will get a chance to rest his legs during Game 2. Carlos Narvaez will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Idle for second game of twin bill

    Davis is not in the Pirates' starting lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

    Davis struck out in all three of his plate appearances in Wednesday's matinee -- a 5-3 extra-inning win for Pittsburgh -- and will be idle for the nightcap. Rafael Flores will start behind home plate and bat eighth while forming a battery with Bubba Chandler.

  • Sam Huff C | BAL

    Orioles' Sam Huff: Idle for nightcap

    Huff is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Chadwick Tromp will step in behind the plate after Huff started at catcher in the Orioles' 6-3 loss in the first game of the day. With Samuel Basallo (shoulder) joining Adley Rutschman (wrist) on the injured list Wednesday, Huff looks to be the new No. 1 option on the depth chart, but he's provided little reason for fantasy players to rush to the waiver wire to pick him up. Since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Huff has gone 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts and one walk.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Playing time trending up

    Campusano will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus Atlanta.

    It's the second straight start and fourth start in six contests coming out of the All-Star break for Campusano, who might be emerging as the preferred option at catcher for the Padres. Campusano has put up an .865 OPS in 12 games this month since coming off the injured list.

  • Padres' Freddy Fermin: Getting passed over by Campusano

    Fermin is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

    Fermin started the first game of the series at catcher, but it's been Luis Campusano behind the dish the last two days. With just two starts to Campusano's four since returning from the injured list, Fermin looks to have been passed on the Padres' catching depth chart.
