Rogers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Twins.

Rogers continues to increase his career high in home runs, as he now has 14 this season, which is four more than he had in his entire career coming into the year. The catcher also struck out again Tuesday, something he's doing 33 percent of the time this season. Rogers will likely remain a boom-or-bust option the rest of the way given his all-or-nothing approach at the plate.

Realmuto isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

After an 0-for-4 effort during Game 1, Realmuto will sit out Game 2 in favor of Garrett Stubbs, who will bat eighth while starting behind the dish.

Bailey isn't in the Giants' lineup Tuesday against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After going 4-for-6 with four RBI and two runs scored over his last two games, Bailey will catch a breather Tuesday. Blake Sabol will take over behind the plate and bat sixth.

Rodriguez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Rodriguez hit his second career homer Sunday as part of his first career three-hit game, and he followed up with a double and a run scored in Monday's contest. The 23-year-old will get a day to rest his legs as Jason Delay takes over behind the plate to catch for starter Mitch Keller.

Thaiss is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Chad Wallach will start at catcher and bat ninth as the Angels take on left-handed opener Scott Alexander, who is expected to be followed by fellow southpaw Alex Wood. Thaiss, a left-handed hitter, continues to draw the large majority of his playing time versus righties.

Perez (hand) is back in the lineup Tuesday at Boston.

Perez will start at catcher and bat cleanup versus the Red Sox and right-hander Kutter Crawford after taking a pitch off his left hand in Sunday's series finale against the Phillies. He suffered only a bruise.

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

The timeshare behind the plate continues in Atlanta, with Marcell Ozuna holding down the everyday job at DH. Murphy will sit for the second time in three games as Travis d'Arnaud steps in at catcher. Murphy is slashing just .135/.262/.212 with one home run in 14 games since the All-Star break.

Alvarez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a single, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's series opener versus Chicago, but Omar Narvaez will do the catching for the Mets on Tuesday as Daniel Vogelbach takes a turn at DH.

O'Hoppe (shoulder) said Monday that he's starting a rehab assignment with Single-A Inland Empire on Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Angels manager Phil Nevin stated last Wednesday that O'Hoppe was on track to start his rehab stint the following week, and that has come to fruition with the catcher joining the Single-A club Tuesday. O'Hoppe hasn't seen any game action since suffering a torn labrum in a game April 20, and he's expected to need most or all of the 20-day rehab window before he's ready to return to the big club.

Cleveland placed Fry on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to August 5, with a sore hamstring, Joe Noga of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

This helps to explain why Fry has been absent from the Guardians' lineup since Friday. He'll now remain sidelined for at least another week. Ramon Laureano, claimed off waivers from the Athletics on Monday, will fill the vacant 26-man roster spot ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Blue Jays.
