  • Elias Diaz C | TEX

    Rockies' Elias Diaz: Returns to lineup

    Diaz (hand) is in the Rockies' lineup Tuesday versus the Athletics.

    Diaz missed four consecutive games for the Rockies due to a hand injury, and he had an additional day to recover with the team day off Monday. Jacob Stallings was starting in his place, but the former will return to the bench Tuesday.

  • Blake Sabol C | BOS

    Giants' Blake Sabol: Taking seat

    Sabol is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Sabol will dodge left-handed pitcher Martin Perez on Tuesday as Curt Casali fills in behind the dish and bats ninth.

  • Jake Rogers C | CHW

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Idle Tuesday

    Rogers is out of the lineup Tuesday against Kansas City.

    Rogers will take a seat for the third time in the last four games. Carson Kelly will catch and bat ninth for the Tigers on Tuesday.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Cleared to return to action

    Bailey (concussion) was cleared to return to action after being examined by Dr. Mickey Collins on Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Collins, who is a concussion expert, cleared Bailey for baseball activities this past Friday and has now given the go-ahead for the catcher to play in games. While the Giants have not yet made a roster move involving Bailey, it would appear imminent. The 24-year-old has played just one game since May 4 because of concussion issues.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Taking seat Tuesday

    Wong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Wong will get a day off Tuesday after starting four straight games for the BoSox. Reese McGuire will bat seventh and catch for Cooper Criswell.

  • Ben Rortvedt C | LAD

    Rays' Ben Rortvedt: Taking seat Tuesday

    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Despite right-hander Cooper Criswell being on the mound for Boston, the lefty-hitting Rortvedt will give way to righty Alex Jackson behind the dish. Rortvedt has two hits in his last 23 at-bats.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Tallies third stolen base

    Lee went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a walk and a stolen base Monday against the Blue Jays.

    Lee has had a poor start to the White Sox's current road trip, as he's struck out eight times across 13 plate appearances. However, he's been surprisingly aggressive when he's reached base, attempting three stolen bases across in his last five contests and succeeding twice. Lee has slowly taken over the primary catcher role, though he still alternates time behind the dish with Martin Maldonado.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Three hits in nightcap

    D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with an RBI in the second game of Monday's doubleheader split with the Padres.

    The veteran catcher sat out Sunday's game and Monday's matinee after taking a foul tip off his facemask Friday, but d'Arnaud cleared the concussion protocol and looked none the worse for wear in his return to the lineup. He's slashing .274/.350/.509 through 120 plate appearances this season with five homers and 17 RBI, but with Sean Murphy (oblique) expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, d'Arnaud's stint as Atlanta's No. 1 backstop could come to a close by the end of the month.

  • Tomas Nido C | DET

    Mets' Tomas Nido: Homers for team's only run

    Nido went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Guardians.

    Nido accounted for New York's only run of the contest with a 405-foot solo shot in the third inning. The long ball was his second of the campaign and first since April 26. Nido is batting .241 on the season but has gone 9-for-30 (.300 average) over his past 10 games.

  • David Fry LF | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Knocks in two runs Monday

    Fry went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and two RBI in Monday's 3-1 win against the Mets.

    Fry plated two of Cleveland's three runs with a single in the first inning. He has been swinging a hot bat in May, slashing .353/.488/.647 with three homers, seven RBI and 10 runs along with an 8:8 BB:K over 43 plate appearances. Fry also has a stolen base in each of his past two games after swiping just one bag across his first 30 games this season.
