  • Austin Wynns C | ATH

    Athletics' Austin Wynns: Lands on IL with abdominal strain

    The Athletics placed Wynns on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with an abdominal strain.

    He'll be shelved until at least mid-August while recuperating. Willie MacIver is up as Wynns' roster replacement and will serve as the backup catcher behind Shea Langeliers.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Goes deep in victory

    Stephenson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a 3-2 win against the Cubs.

    Stephenson got the scoring started in the contest with a 389-foot solo shot in the second inning, giving him nine long balls on the campaign. The backstop has reached base in nine of his past 17 plate appearances, including six times via walk. Stephenson has a solid 11.7 percent walk rate on the season, though he's also posted an ugly 34.7 percent strikeout rate.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Stays hot with two RBI

    Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-2 victory over the Marlins.

    The Houston backstop picked up his 16th two-bagger of the season off Miami starter Sandy Alcantara in the fourth inning to plate two runs. Diaz has been a steady contributor since the All-Star break, hitting .300 (18-for-60) with five doubles, two homers, nine RBI and seven runs scored across 16 contests. The 26-year-old is slashing .255/.284/.420 with 15 homers, 47 RBI and 40 runs scored in 401 total plate appearances.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Hits 10th home run Monday

    Dingler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the Twins.

    Dingler was one of three Detroit players to go deep as the Tigers rallied from an early 2-0 hole to secure the win. The 26-year-old catcher is having a productive sophomore campaign, as he's now up to 10 home runs to go along with a .749 OPS across 85 games. Last year, Dingler posted just a .505 OPS in 27 regular-season games as he served primarily in a backup role, but he's emerged as Detroit's clear top backstop in 2025 due to his improved offensive output.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: To resume hitting soon

    Moreno (finger) has been cleared to resume baseball activities and could begin hitting by the end of the week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Manager Torey Lovullo noted Monday that Moreno has just begun his return to play progression, and that he's been cleared to take dry swings. If all goes week throughout the week, the backstop could get the green light to see live at-bats. An exact timetable for Moreno's return has yet to be established.

  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Idle Monday

    Davis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

    Davis will take a seat after going 0-for-7 with two strikeouts over his last two starts. Though he's been part of a timeshare at catcher with Joey Bart, Davis could eventually see a dip in playing time if he's unable to break out of his ongoing slump at the plate. In 10 games since the All-Star break, Davis has gone 1-for-30 with five walks and 11 strikeouts.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Idle for series opener

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    After starting behind the plate in each of the Guardians' last three games, the left-handed-hitting Naylor will get a breather Monday while the Mets send southpaw Sean Manaea to the hill. Austin Hedges will serve as Cleveland's catcher in the series opener.

  • Yohel Pozo C | STL

    Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Out of lineup Monday

    Pozo is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Dodgers.

    Pozo has seen an uptick in playing time lately, having started three of the previous four games at catcher. However, he will begin Monday's festivities on the bench, as Pedro Pages will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Cardinals.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Out of Monday's lineup

    Higashioka is not in the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Yankees.

    Higashioka started both of the previous two contests and five of the last six games, but he'll take a seat in Monday's series opener. Jonah Heim will handle catching duties and will bat eighth for the Rangers.

  • Matt Thaiss C | TB

    Rays' Matt Thaiss: Stays in organization

    The Rays outrighted Thaiss to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

    He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Thaiss will accept an outright assignment and remain in the organization as catching depth.
