Dingler went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Guardians.

Dingler plated Detroit's first and only run of the contest on a first-inning single, then recorded his first triple of the season later in the game. The catcher has been providing plenty of extra-base hits lately with a triple, four doubles, six home runs and a 1.112 OPS across his last 15 games. Dingler could be ticketed for his first All-Star appearance next month, as he's been one of the best offensive backstops in the majors this year.

Realmuto went 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and a walk in Saturday's win over the Brewers.

Realmuto blasted a three-run homer in the top of the sixth inning, after contributing an RBI single that scored Bryson Stott in the fourth. Despite this strong showing, Realmuto has been slumping at the plate of late. He's gone hitless in nine of his last 12 games, slashing .135/.256/.297 in that span.

Sullivan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Athletics.

Sullivan has hit four homers this season, all coming since May 26. Over his last nine games, he has gone 8-for-21 (.381) despite filling a backup role. While his bat has improved lately, Sullivan is no real threat to Hunter Goodman's status as the Rockies' starting catcher. On the year, Sullivan is batting .229 with a .679 OPS, 13 RBI, seven runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 104 plate appearances.

Campusano (toe) continues to rehab in Arizona but hasn't yet been scheduled for a minor-league rehab assignment, per MLB.com.

Campusano has now been out over a month after fracturing a toe on his left foot in early May. The backstop has been catching pitches and swinging pain-free since late May, but San Diego hasn't yet sent him out on a rehab assignment. Fellow backstop Freddy Fermin exited Saturday's contest against Baltimore after being hit by a warmup pitch near the back of the head, so the only healthy catcher on San Diego's 26-man roster at the moment is Rodolfo Duran.

Fortes is not in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Angels, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.

After picking up five hits and scoring five runs in his past two starts, including going 4-for-4 on Wednesday against Boston, Fortes will get a rest Saturday in Anaheim. Hunter Feduccia will start at catcher in place of Fortes and bat eighth in the lineup.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco.

Kelly will ride the bench for the third time in the past five games. The 31-year-old has slugged .277/.355/.367 with three homers in 186 plate appearances this season. Miguel Amaya will take over catching duties and bat eighth Saturday.

Susac isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Susac will get a breather Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's loss. Eric Haase will take over as the Giants' backstop and bat ninth.

Martinez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Martinez was designated for assignment last Saturday but will remain in the Angels organization after clearing waivers. He's gone 1-for-3 over five games with the big-league club this season but is slashing a meager .189/.308/.369 with six homers and 14 RBI over 130 plate appearances at Salt Lake.

Diaz (oblique) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list during the Astros' upcoming series versus Detroit, which begins Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Diaz has been shelved since early May due to a left oblique strain. He began a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday and has gone 2-for-11 with a walk through three games with Triple-A Sugar Land. Diaz should reclaim his job as Houston's No. 1 catcher upon his return, though his .602 OPS through 26 games this season may leave the door open for the defensively superior Christian Vazquez to force a timeshare.

Ruiz isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

Ruiz went 0-for-3 during Friday's loss, snapping a five-game hitting streak, and will begin Saturday's contest on the bench while Drew Millas catches for starting pitcher Cade Cavalli.
