Bailey is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Austin Hedges will receive the nod behind the plate Tuesday while Bailey rests for the second game of the series. In Monday's 13-4 victory, Bailey caught all nine innings while producing a season-high four hits, including his fourth home run of the campaign.

Kirk is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rays.

It's a regular day off for Kirk, who is sporting just a .598 OPS with one home run in 25 games since coming off the injured list. Brandon Valenzuela will grab a start at catcher in Kirk's stead.

The White Sox recalled Quero from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

He's getting another opportunity following the injury to Kyle Teel (ankle). Quero slashed just .187/.253/.233 earlier this season for the White Sox and hit only .230/.299/.295 at Charlotte, so it's difficult to summon much confidence he'll right the ship offensively. However, he should get an opportunity to at least share the catching job with Drew Romo while Teel is shelved.

The White Sox placed Teel on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left ankle sprain.

The 24-year-old departed Monday's game against the Rangers due to the injury and was sporting crutches after the contest, so it's hardly a surprise that he's ended up on the IL. It's unclear how long Teel is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated July 31. Edgar Quero was called up from Triple-A Charlotte and should split catching duties with Drew Romo while Teel is out.

Single-A Lake Elsinore sent Harvey (finger) on a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on July 16.

Per J.J. Cooper of Baseball America, Harvey missed a month early this year with a hamstring injury and made it back May 12, only to break a finger on his left hand 10 days later when he was hit by a backswing while catching. In 24 games this season including rehab assignments, the 19-year-old catcher is hitting .338/.432/.486 with one home run, five steals and a 25 percent strikeout rate.

Susac went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Susac hit a single to left field in the fifth inning before stealing second base, and he added a leadoff double in the eighth. The 25-year-old catcher delivered his first multi-hit performance since June 10 after spending an extended period on the injured list with a lower-back strain. He's now slashing .264/.308/.336 with 14 RBI, six doubles, five runs scored and two stolen bases across 122 plate appearances.

The White Sox will recall Quero from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Kyle Teel suffered a left ankle injury during Monday's game and was later spotted on crutches, so he's likely headed to the 10-day injured list. Quero was sent down in late June after slashing just .187/.253/.233 in his first 55 games, and he didn't fare much better at Charlotte with a .230/.299/.295 batting line in 15 contests. The switch-hitting catcher will likely share starts behind the dish with Drew Romo while Teel is sidelined.

Dingler went 4-for-5 with two homers, three total RBI and three total runs scored in Monday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Cubs.

Dingler was a driving force in the win, launching solo homers in the first and eighth innings before delivering an RBI single in the 10th frame to give the Tigers a 6-5 lead. It has been a breakout 2026 campaign for the 27-year-old, though Monday's long balls were his first since June 25. Overall, the catcher is slashing .268/.332/.524 with 21 homers, 63 RBI and 52 runs scored across 91 contests.

Perez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 4-3 victory over the Giants on Monday.

Perez accounted for half of the Royals' runs when he cranked a 440-foot, two-run homer to center field in the fourth inning. It was the second long ball in the past three games for Perez, who went deep just once across his final 19 contests of the first half. The veteran slugger is having a down year overall with a .617 OPS through 93 games, but he's still on pace for his 10th consecutive 20-homer campaign, excluding the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and a fifth RBI in Monday's 8-0 win over the Reds.

Raleigh put a big bow on the Mariners' seventh-inning rally, and he knocked in another run in the eighth. The catcher had come out of the All-Star break cold, going 0-for-10 during the Mariners' three-game series versus the Giants over the weekend. He's still batting just .163 with a .573 OPS, 10 homers, 34 RBI, 24 runs scored, seven doubles and two stolen bases over 69 contests this year.
