Porter cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Friday.

Porter joined New York on a major-league contract in mid-July and was designated for assignment Tuesday without appearing in a game. The 29-year-old has also spent time in the Giants and Royals organizations this season, and he has a combined .858 OPS in 57 games at the Triple-A level.

Amaya is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

He was behind the dish for the series opener Thursday but will yield to Christian Bethancourt for Friday's afternoon tilt. Amaya has now made five starts to Bethancourt's three since Tomas Nido (knee) went on the injured list.

The Giants optioned Sabol to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

Sabol had been recalled Tuesday but was sent back down two days later without having appeared in a game. He made room on the active roster for trade acquisition Mark Canha.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run against Baltimore in a 10-3 win Thursday.

Naylor pushed Cleveland's lead to 10-2 in the seventh inning with a three-run blast to right field. The long ball was his second in as many contests following a 10-game stretch during which the catcher didn't log any extra-base hits. However, Naylor still hasn't recorded multiple hits in a contest since July 4, and he's batting just .180 (9-for-50) over 19 games during that span.

Feduccia was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Feduccia was called up Saturday and made his debut as a pinch hitter Wednesday. He'll make way off the roster for the newly acquired Kevin Kiermaier.

Diaz isn't in the Rockies' lineup Thursday versus the Angels.

Diaz will take a seat for Thursday's series finale after going 2-for-8 with a run scored over the first two games of the series. Jacob Stallings will start behind the dish instead and bat eighth.

Ruiz exited Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks in the fourth inning due to a groin injury, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

A pitch from MacKenzie Gore bounced in the dirt and caught Ruiz in a sensitive area, and the catcher was replaced behind the plate by Riley Adams. Per Golden, manager Dave Martinez says he's concerned about Ruiz, but the issue doesn't seem to be as serious as the similar injury that cost the backstop the final month of the 2022 season. The Nationals are off Thursday, but Ruiz may not be ready to return when the team begins a home series against the Brewers on Friday.

O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies.

O'Hoppe jumped on a hanging sinker from Kyle Freeland in the bottom of the fifth and sent it into the stands in right-center field to tie the game at one run apiece.The backstop then added a single in the seventh before being left stranded, giving him his sixth multi-hit performance in July and the third in his last eight games. He's now batting .281 on the season with 15 homers and 44 RBI.

Jansen started at catcher and went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Jansen delivered a game-tying run with a sixth-inning single, which eventually led to the extra frame. He's made two starts (one at DH) since being acquired from the Blue Jays and his 4-for-7 for his new team. Connor Wong remains the starter at catcher, while Jansen is expected to see steady dose of work against lefties.

Kelly started at catcher and went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 10-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Kelly made his debut for Texas after being acquired from the Tigers on Sunday. Jonah Heim remains the starter behind the dish, while Kelly offers a well-seasoned backup that's provides better offense (100 OPS+) than previous backup Andrew Knizner (12 OPS+).
