Higashioka went 1-for-4 with a three-run double in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Royals.

Higashioka, who sat out the previous four contests with a hamstring injury, returned to the lineup and provided the key hit in the win. His ninth-inning double cleared the bases. Higashioka's batting just .206 (7-for-34) over 10 games this month, but he's managed to make in impact with nine RBI over the stretch.

Moreno (finger) started at catcher and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run for Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Moreno caught for a second straight game and homered in each contest. The Diamondbacks, who are off Thursday, planned this back-to-back action to be Moreno's final test before an activation from the 60-day injured list ahead of a three-game set against the Reds beginning Friday.

Goodman went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in an 8-3 win against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Goodman's RBI all came in the latter stages of the contest -- he knocked a run-scoring single in the sixth inning and added a two-run double in the eighth. The talented young catcher finished with his first multi-hit game since Aug. 5 and his seventh three-hit game of the campaign. Among MLB backstops, Goodman ranks second with 72 RBI and is tied for fourth with 22 doubles.

Vazquez underwent surgery due to remove an infection from his left shoulder and will remain at his home in Florida for about two more weeks, MLB.com reports. He will be on a course of antibiotics for three weeks.

The Twins haven't ruled out Vazquez from returning this season, but that seems like a long shot given his treatment schedule and with the Twins out of the playoff hunt.

Langeliers went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Langeliers smashed a go-ahead shot, his 28th homer of the year, in the 10th inning to give the Athletics the lead. Since returning from the injured list June 30, the slugging backstop has been on an absolute tear in the power department. Langeliers has now homered in three consecutive outings, and he's batting .309 with 18 big flies, 11 doubles and 33 RBI over his last 40 contests.

Dingler went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Dingler isn't known for his speed, as the triple was just his second of the season, and he's never swiped a base at the MLB level. The catcher has still been plenty productive for the Tigers with a .274/.321/.432 slash line across 98 games this year. It's a big step forward for Dingler, who posted a .167/.195/.310 line in 27 regular-season games as a rookie in 2024.

O'Hoppe is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Reds on Wednesday.

O'Hoppe will be on the bench for a second straight game while Travis d'Arnaud starts behind the plate and bats seventh. O'Hoppe has struggled at the plate of late, going 0-for-12 with six strikeouts over his last three games.

Higashioka (hamstring) will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Royalls.

Higashioka had been out of the Rangers' lineup for the past four games due to a hamstring injury, but he has been given the green light to play Wednesday.

Quero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

Quero and Kyle Teel both received steady playing time between the catcher and designated-hitter spots last week, but Quero's opportunities have begun to tail off. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the second time in the series and the third time in five games while Teel starts behind the plate and Mike Tauchman serves as Chicago's DH.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

With lefty Martin Perez toeing the rubber for the White Sox, the left-handed-hitting Baldwin will cede catching duties to Sean Murphy in the series finale. Baldwin was behind the dish for the first two games of the three-game set with Chicago and went 1-for-9 with a walk, three RBI and one run.
