Susac is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Susac will take a seat for the matinee game after he went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base while catching 8.1 innings of Tuesday's 4-3 loss. Drew Cavanaugh will receive a turn behind the plate in the series finale.

Mack went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

The rookie catcher made things interesting by taking AJ Blubaugh deep in the seventh inning with the Marlins down 5-1, but they couldn't creep any closer. Mack has gone yard in back-to-back games, giving him nine homers on the year, but he hasn't produced a multi-hit effort since July 4 and is batting just .179 (5-for-28) over his last 11 contests with a 3.2 percent walk rate against a 35.5 percent strikeout rate.

Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Guardians.

The backstop took Parker Messick deep in the top of the first inning for his ninth long ball of the season, but it was the only lead the Twins would hold in the game. Jeffers missed nearly two months after undergoing surgery on a fractured hamate bone in May, but he hasn't shown much rust since returning just before the All-Star break, going 5-for-21 (.238) in six games with two doubles and two homers.

Narvaez is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

It marks the third straight game that Narvaez has been on the bench in favor of Connor Wong. Narvaez should be back behind the dish for the nightcap.

Diaz went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

Diaz made a second straight start behind the plate and is in line for more work after the Rangers placed Kyle Higashioka (forearm) on the 10-day injured list. The club selected the contract of Austin Wynns from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move, but the primary catching job belongs to Diaz, who's been Texas' best hitting catcher since his arrival in early June. The 35-year-old backstop is slashing .269/.275/.410 with two home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs scored over 31 games for the Rangers.

Jensen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Giants.

Jensen opened the scoring by taking Tyler Mahle deep for a solo shot in the third inning, giving him 14 home runs on the season. The catcher has stayed productive since the All-Star break, going 7-for-21 (.333) with five extra-base hits over his first five games of the second half. Across 94 games this season, Jensen is slashing .242/.309/.436.

Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.

Langeliers sparked the Athletics' comeback effort with his eighth-inning blast. The catcher has gone 7-for-23 with three homers and six RBI during a six-game hitting streak. Overall, he's batting .260 with an .826 OPS, 23 long balls, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored, 18 doubles and two stolen bases over 91 contests.

Teel is expected to miss 6-to-12 weeks due to left high-ankle sprain, MLB.com reports.

When Teel was placed on the injured list, his timeline to return was unclear. The White Sox have since announced that Teel will be sidelined at least six weeks, or until the beginning of September. He's had a frustrating 2026 season, as he was unable to make his debut until June 22 due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the World Baseball Classic.

Goodman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a double Tuesday in an 8-7 victory versus Washington.

Goodman snapped a 7-7 tie with a solo blast in the eighth inning, producing what ended up being the winning run. The All-Star catcher has five hits in 16 at-bats since the midseason break, with all five knocks (four homers and a double) going for extra bases. Goodman's homer Tuesday was his 31st of the season in his 94th game, tying the career-high mark he established over 144 contests last year.

Dingler went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-2 loss to the Cubs.

Dingler hit his deep fly in garbage time with the Tigers down 11-0 in the top of the ninth inning, but fantasy managers don't care when the power arrives. The slugging catcher also went deep twice Monday, and he's now up to 22 home runs overall. Dingler is tied for second at his position in homers with Shea Langeliers, and Hunter Goodman is leading the way among catchers with 31 long balls.
