  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Taking seat Tuesday

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore.

    Trevino will give way to Austin Wells behind the dish Tuesday. Trevino has generated six hits in his last four starts, including a trio of home runs.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Getting breather Tuesday

    Wong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Wong will get the day off Tuesday after making four consecutive starts. Reese McGuire will fill in behind the plate and bat seventh.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Resumes playing catch

    Bart (thumb) was spotted playing catch on the field Monday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    The right-handed Bart is on the injured list with a Grade 1 sprain of his left thumb. Though he wasn't wearing his full catching gear Monday, the fact that he had a baseball glove on his injured hand would seem to indicate that the sprained thumb has healed on some level. The Pirates will likely wait and see how Bart responds to additional baseball activities before sending him out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Idle Tuesday

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

    Murphy has struggled after missing the first two months of the season with an oblique injury, owning a .408 OPS and a 28.6 percent strikeout rate across 56 plate appearances with Atlanta. As Murphy works through the slow start, Atlanta will turn to Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate Tuesday for the fourth time in nine games.

  • Sam Huff C | BAL

    Rangers' Sam Huff: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

    Huff was up for a few days while Jonah Heim was on paternity leave and started Monday's game versus the Mets, going 0-for-3 with a walk. With Heim back on the active roster, Huff heads back to Round Rock.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATH

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Back from paternity leave

    The Rangers activated Heim from the paternity leave list Tuesday.

    Heim was away from the club for the last three games as he tended to more important life matters. Sam Huff was optioned in a corresponding move.

  • Rockies' Jacob Stallings: Taking seat Tuesday

    Stallings is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Stallings had started in five of six games since Elias Diaz's (calf) injury, but he'll yield to Hunter Goodman behind the dish Tuesday. Both Stallings and Goodman have been red-hot at the plate lately, with Stallings riding a six-game hit streak with four extra-base hits and four runs scored since June 10 and Goodman swatting three homers over his last three games. Regardless, Stallings should see most of the catching work moving forward.

  • Pirates' Yasmani Grandal: Absent from lineup

    Grandal is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    Grandal has now started every other game across the last nine contests. It was initially Henry Davis (concussion) receiving the other starts, but with Davis sidelined, Jason Delay is doing the catching Tuesday.

  • Nick Fortes C | TB

    Marlins' Nick Fortes: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Fortes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Fortes has started 11 of Miami's first 14 games in June despite going 3-for-31 during that stretch, but he'll take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Christian Bethancourt will work behind the plate and bat ninth in his place.

  • Seby Zavala C | LAD

    Mariners' Seby Zavala: DFA'd by Seattle

    The Mariners designated Zavala for assignment Tuesday.

    Zavala has played in just 18 games this season and has a .154/.214/.282 slash line and 37.2 percent strikeout rate in 43 plate appearances. The Mariners already have Cal Raleigh and Mitch Garver on the big-league roster, so the club will roll with two catchers going forward.
