Daniel Susac C | SF
Giants' Daniel Susac: Multi-hit effort in rehab game
Susac (elbow) went 2-for-4 in Triple-A Sacramento's 2-1 loss to Reno on Friday.
Susac made his second rehab appearance in as many days, logging multiple hits in both contests. The 24-year-old catcher singled twice Friday and has gone 5-for-8 with three RBI and two long balls across eight plate appearances with Triple-A Sacramento. With Patrick Bailey now in Cleveland, Susac will likely step into a sizable role once he's reinstated from the injured list.

Sebastian Rivero C | LAA
Angels' Sebastian Rivero: Serving as primary catcher
Rivero will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
He'll work behind the plate for the third game in a row and appears on track to operate as the Angels' No. 1 catcher in the short term while both Logan O'Hoppe (wrist) and Travis d'Arnaud (foot) are stuck on the injured list. Rivero has posted a .175/.230/.211 slash line over 123 career plate appearances in the majors and will provide most of his value as a defender rather than with the bat.

Shea Langeliers C | ATH
Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Plates two runs in win
Langeliers went 2-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's victory over the Orioles.
Langeliers opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before driving in another run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth frame. It was another strong effort for the catcher, who currently owns a 10-game hitting streak that includes seven multi-hit performances. Overall, Langeliers has built on his breakout 2025 campaign with massive numbers through 35 contests in 2026, slashing .340/.391/.626 with 11 homers, nine doubles, 22 RBI and 28 runs scored.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Sitting after five straight starts
Mayo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
He'll take a seat for the series finale while the Orioles go with Weston Wilson at third base. Mayo had started the last five games, going 2-for-16 with an 0:7 BB:K during that stretch to bring his slash line down to .158/.218/.277 for the season.

Jeremiah Jackson SS | BAL
Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Taking seat Sunday
jackson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
While starting the last four games, Jackson went just 2-for-14 at the dish, dropping his season batting average to .246. Blaze Alexander will step in at second base Sunday in place of Jackson, who has been a near-everyday player for most of the season but could soon be at risk of falling into a part-time role due to Jackson Holliday (hand) moving closer to a return from the injured list.

Eric Haase C | SF
Giants' Eric Haase: Logs RBI in loss
Haase went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Pirates.
After the Giants traded Patrick Bailey to the Guardians earlier in the day, Haase got the starting nod at catcher Saturday. The veteran hit an RBI single in the ninth inning and is now slashing .286/.286/.429 with two runs scored and two RBI across 14 plate appearances this season. Until Daniel Susac (elbow) returns, Haase and Jesus Rodriguez will split playing time behind the plate.

Troy Johnston RF | COL
Rockies' Troy Johnston: Sitting against southpaw
Johnston is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
With southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the bump for Philadelphia, the Rockies will stock up on right-handed bats in the lineup, with Johnston joining fellow left-handed hitters Edouard Julien, TJ Rumfield and Brett Sullivan on the bench. Jordan Beck will receive the nod in right field.

Edouard Julien 2B | COL
Rockies' Edouard Julien: Moving to bench versus lefty
Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
With southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the bump for Philadelphia, the Rockies will stock up on some extra right-handed bats while Julien joins fellow left-handed hitters TJ Rumfield, Troy Johnston and Brett Sullivan on the bench. Tyler Freeman will receive the nod at second base in place of Julien.

TJ Rumfield 3B | COL
Rockies' TJ Rumfield: Heading to bench Sunday
Rumfield is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
With southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the bump for Philadelphia, the Rockies will stock up on right-handed bats in the lineup, with Rumfield joining fellow left-handed hitters Edouard Julien, Troy Johnston and Brett Sullivan on the bench. Willi Castro will receive the nod at first base.

Brett Sullivan C | COL
Rockies' Brett Sullivan: Back on bench
Sullivan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Sullivan will hit the bench for the series finale after he went 0-for-10 with six strikeouts over the past three games while making two starts at catcher and one at designated hitter. Despite the recent uptick in playing time, Sullivan is unlikely to move into a full-time role so long as top backstop Hunter Goodman is healthy.
