  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Knocks in three

    Quero went 2-for-4 with three RBI on Sunday against the Twins.

    Quero has started every other game across the last 10 days, forming an impressive duo with Kyle Teel behind the plate. The sporadic playing time makes it difficult to count on Quero for fantasy production, but he has delivered when in the lineup. In 14 games during August, he has gone 15-for-49 with one homer, eight RBI and four runs scored.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Stays hot

    Teel went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Twins.

    Teel delivered RBI singles in each of the first two innings, continuing his tear at the plate. He's gone 11-for-23 with two homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored across his last six games. Teel has moved up in the White Sox's order as a result of his hot streak, as he's hit third in four of his last five starts and served as the leadoff hitter on the fifth occasion.

  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Clubs go-ahead homer

    Rushing went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Padres.

    Rushing was 0-for-9 with four strikeouts over his previous four games. He broke the slump in the seventh inning, putting the Dodgers ahead for good when he took Jeremiah Estrada deep. Rushing is up to three homers, 19 RBI, 12 runs scored and three doubles while slashing .187/.246/.299 over 118 plate appearances. He continues to serve as the backup to Will Smith behind the plate.

  • Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Sparks offense in win

    Marchan went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Nationals.

    Marchan drove in all of the Phillies' runs, delivering a two-run double in the second inning before working a bases-loaded walk in the third. It marked a rare bright spot in what's been a tough season for the backup catcher, who's slashing .183/.280/.256 with one homer, nine RBI and six runs scored across 94 plate appearances.

  • Elias Diaz C | SD

    Padres' Elias Diaz: Lifts homer in loss

    Diaz went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Diaz put the Padres ahead 2-1 in the third inning with his homer, but that was the extent of their scoring. He's seen limited playing time in August, as Freddy Fermin has taken over as San Diego's top catcher. Diaz has gone 3-for-19 (.158) over seven games this month, so he's not doing much to make a stronger case for playing time. Overall, the 34-year-old backstop has a .198/.269/.308 slash line with six homers, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored and seven doubles across 253 plate appearances this season.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Sets MLB record in win

    Raleigh went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Sunday's 11-4 win over the Athletics.

    Raleigh went deep in the first and second innings, giving him 49 homers on the year. That's the most in a single season by a catcher, and impressively, he still has more than a month left to add to his total. Raleigh has smacked seven homers over his last 21 games, and he's still leading the majors in long balls. The 28-year-old has added a .247/.353/.593 slash line with 106 RBI, 85 runs scored, 14 stolen bases and 19 doubles through 128 contests.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Drawing third straight start

    Wells will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Wells' playing time had taken a hit recently with the Yankees beginning to hand Ben Rice more work behind the plate, but Wells will make his third straight start at catcher to close out the series with Boston. Rice will occupy first base Sunday while Paul Goldschmidt gets squeezed out of the lineup for a second straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher (Dustin May).

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Receiving rest Sunday

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Will Banfield will handle the catching duties for Cincinnati on Sunday after Trevino started behind the plate in each of the previous seven games behind the plate while going 4-for-24 with three RBI and a run scored. Trevino should continue to see the bulk of the playing time at catcher while top backstop Tyler Stephenson (thumb) is on the injured list.

  • James McCann C | ARI

    Diamondbacks' James McCann: Set to lose work to Moreno

    McCann will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Though he's included in the lineup for the series finale, McCann was on the bench for the previous two games and appears to have moved into the No. 2 role at catcher after Gabriel Moreno (finger) made his long-awaited return from the 60-day injured list Friday. McCann has been a serviceable replacement since he signed with Arizona in late June, slashing .247/.337/.403 with three home runs and nine RBI through his first 29 games with the team.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Moreno returned from the 60-day injured list Friday and started the past two games behind the plate for Arizona, going 4-for-8 with a home run, a double and four RBI. James McCann will step in to catch for Zac Gallen in the series finale.
