Stallings exited Friday's game against Atlanta with left ankle soreness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Stallings went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before departing. Nick Fortes has taken over behind the plate. For now, Stallings should be considered day-to-day.

Moreno is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Angels.

Moreno will get a breather after he went 2-for-4 with a double and a strikeout in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Rays. Carson Kelly will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in the series opener with Los Angeles.

Texas optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Huff drew only three plate appearances and did not get a start during his two-week stay on the Rangers' roster. The 25-year-old has posted an encouraging .836 OPS with nine home runs and 37 RBI over 41 games this season at the Triple-A level, but Texas is all set at the catcher position between Jonah Heim and Mitch Garver.

The White Sox recalled Perez from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Perez was optioned to Charlotte after a brief stint with the White Sox in mid-May, and he's slashed .224/.292/.336 in the minors since then. Perez likely won't get much playing time in the majors behind Yasmani Grandal and Seby Zavala, though he can also play first base in a pinch. Adam Haseley was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Trevino is not in the lineup Friday at St. Louis.

Kyle Higashioka will start at catcher and bat ninth. Trevino caught all nine innings in Thursday's series finale at Oakland.

McCann (ankle) said Friday that he expects to be activated from the injured list early next week, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

McCann resumed baseball activities this past Monday and looks poised to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment sometime this weekend. The veteran backup catcher has been sidelined since June 17 due to a left ankle sprain. Anthony Bemboom will likely lose his spot on the Orioles' major-league roster whenever McCann is ready.

Alvarez is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Giants, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez will take a seat after he went 1-for-10 with an RBI, a walk and three strikeouts during the team's series with the Brewers. Omar Narvaez will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth in the series opener with San Francisco.

Vazquez is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Orioles.

Vazquez will take a seat after he went 0-for-4 with two walks and a strikeout while starting two games during the team's series with Atlanta. Ryan Jeffers will draw the start at catcher and bat seventh in the series opener with Baltimore.

Tromp was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

He was up as a third catcher while Sean Murphy dealt with a hamstring injury, but now that the team's starting backstop appears to be in the clear, Tromp is no longer needed. He's gone 2-for-16 at the plate during his time in the majors in 2023.

Caratini went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Thursday's 3-2 win against the Mets.

Caratini was the only Brewer with multiple hits in the contest, and his two-run shot off Max Scherzer in the sixth inning provided the bulk of Milwaukee's output in the narrow victory. With William Contreras entrenched as the team's primary backstop, Caratini has been on the bench more often than not of late -- his start Thursday was his first over Milwaukee's past four games. Caratini has made the most of his limited opportunities in June, slashing .344/.389/.531 with two homers, seven RBI, six runs and a stolen base over 10 contests.
