  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Goes deep Tuesday

    Rogers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rangers.

    Rogers has been losing playing time to Eric Haase behind the plate lately, but Haase started in left field Tuesday, which opened up a spot for Rogers. He responded with his sixth home run of the season across 35 games. The occasional power is about all that Rogers can be counted on, as he's batting just .161 and striking out nearly 36 percent of the time.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Hitting eighth in return

    Trevino is hitting eighth and starting at catcher versus the Mariners on Tuesday.

    Trevino was reinstated off the 10-day injured list before Tuesday's game against Seattle, and the veteran backstop is in the starting lineup as expected. Trevino has struggled in 2023 with a .598 OPS over 96 at-bats over 30 games, but he should see the majority of reps behind the plate while he's healthy.

  • Pirates' Austin Hedges: Sitting out Tuesday

    Hedges is out of the starting lineup against the Giants on Tuesday.

    Hedges will get a night off after going 0-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's blowout loss to San Francisco. Jason Delay is handling backstop duties while Hedges rests.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Returns from IL

    Trevino (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Trevino landed on the injured list May 18 with a left hamstring strain. He figures to resume duties as New York's primary catcher, and his return will send Ben Rortvedt back to Triple-A. Trevino was slashing .267/.267/.267 over his last five games prior to getting injured.

  • Ben Rortvedt C | NYM

    Yankees' Ben Rortvedt: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Yankees optioned Rortvedt to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Rortvedt is booted from the active roster to make room for Jose Trevino with Trevino coming off the 10-day injured list. In five games with the Yankees, Rortvedt went 2-for-7 while scoring a pair of runs. He'll head to Triple-A to provide emergency depth for the Yankees.

  • Rays' Christian Bethancourt: Sitting Tuesday

    Bethancourt isn't in the Rays' lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Bethancourt has been seeing the ball well lately, logging a 1.133 OPS across 15 plate appearances over the past week. He'll get a day off Tuesday in favor of Francsico Mejia, who will bat ninth.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Getting breather Tuesday

    Smith is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

    This looks to be a routine night off for Smith, who played the full game at catcher Monday in the Dodgers' 6-1 defeat of Washington. Austin Barnes will handle catching duties and hit ninth Tuesday versus the Nats.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Off day Tuesday

    Raleigh isn't in Seattle's lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

    After snapping a three-game hitting streak Monday, Raleigh will get a day to rest Tuesday. Tom Murphy will instead serve as the Mariners' backstop and bat seventh.

  • Matt Thaiss C | BOS

    Angels' Matt Thaiss: Off Tuesday

    Thaiss isn't starting Tuesday against the White Sox, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Thaiss went 3-for-5 with a homer, two runs scored and a steal during Monday's game, earning himself a day off in the process. Chad Wallach will take over as the Angels' catcher Tuesday and bat eighth.

  • White Sox's Yasmani Grandal: Sitting out Tuesday

    Grandal isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Grandal is battling through an 0-for-10 stretch at the plate in his last three games, and he holds just a .549 OPS over the last two weeks. The White Sox will instead give Seby Zavala, who'll bat ninth, a shot behind the plate Tuesday.
