Stephenson went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Pirates.

The veteran catcher kept the Reds alive by launching a slider from Bucs closer Dennis Santana over the fence in left-center field in the ninth inning, tying the game at 2-2, but Cincy couldn't close the deal. Stephenson has been a big part of the team's surge into playoff contention since coming off the IL in early September, and over his last 13 games he's slashing .275/.341/.650 with three doubles, four homers and 13 RBI. The Reds are tied with the Diamondbacks, one game back of the Mets for the final wild-card spot in the NL with four to play.

Langeliers went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in Wednesday's 6-0 win against Houston.

The Astros were unable to get Langeliers out, as he fell a triple shy of the cycle. The talented backstop notched an RBI with a ground-rule double in the fifth inning and later belted a solo homer to left field in the seventh. Langeliers had been struggling a bit coming into the contest, but he's enjoyed a marvelous second half overall, batting .308 with 19 homers, 17 doubles, 43 runs, 39 RBI and three stolen bases over 54 games since the All-Star break.

Raleigh went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and four RBI in Wednesday's 9-2 win over Colorado.

Raleigh has now pushed his homer total up to 60 amid his historic campaign. The All-Star backstop is just the seventh player in history to launch 60 long balls in a single season, and he's inching closer to the American League record of 62 established by Aaron Judge in 2022. The Mariners have four contests left during the regular season for Raleigh to potentially accomplish that feat. He has 11 multi-homer efforts in 2025 to go with 125 RBI, 109 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 155 outings.

X-rays on Basallo's right hand came back negative following his removal from Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Basallo had to come out of the game after taking a 96 mph offering from Pete Fairbanks off his hand in the ninth inning, but he seemingly managed to escape without suffering any fractures. The Orioles could decide to hold him out of Thursday's series finale to give him time to recover, which would likely give Ryan Mountcastle a start as the designated hitter with Coby Mayo at first base.

Basallo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rays after getting hit on the right hand by a pitch, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Interim manager Tony Mansolino said after the game that Basallo will receive an X-ray on his hand, which will help determine the severity of the backstop's injury. Should the 21-year-old need to miss any amount of time, Ryan Mountcastle would stand to benefit from extra reps as Baltimore's designated hitter.

Bailey isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey will get a chance to catch his breath Wednesday after going 4-for-8 with two RBI and three runs scored over the first two games of the series. Andrew Knizner will fill in for him behind the dish and bat ninth.

The Rockies optioned Romo to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Romo went 0-for-3 at the plate while serving as the Rockies' third catcher, and the return of Warming Bernabel (concussion) from the IL will now push the former back to the minor leagues. The 24-year-old backstop has slashed .264/.329/.409 across 244 plate appearances at Albuquerque and will most likely remain there for the rest of the year.

O'Hoppe is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Royals on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe will take a breather while Sebastian Rivero works behind home plate and bats eighth. O'Hope has gone 4-for-19 (.211) with one double since being reinstated from the 7-day concussion injured list Sept. 15.

Realmuto (finger) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Marlins, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto had to be lifted from Tuesday's game after taking a foul tip off his right index finger. X-rays came back negative and he should be fine, but Realmuto will sit out at least one contest. Rafael Marchan is catching and batting ninth for the Phillies on Wednesday.

Contreras is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

After starting at catcher in each of the first two games of the series, Contreras will get a breather during Wednesday's matinee. Danny Jansen will be behind the dish and bat ninth as the Brewers try to avoid being swept.
