  • 46-58-6 8th Place
    • Dealt to Miami
      The Cubs traded Sanchez to the Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.

      Advice: Sanchez has spent the entire season with Triple-A Iowa, slashing .240/.338/.388 with 21 RBI across 148 plate appearances. Given the awful seasons Nick Fortes and Christian Bethancourt have both had in the majors, it's possible Sanchez gets his first look in the big leagues since 2021 if he continues at his current pace.

    • Exits with leg injury
      Caratini was removed from Wednesday's game against the White Sox due to left leg discomfort, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

      Advice: Caratini made an awkward slide into home plate during the third inning, and he was replaced behind the dish once the Astros took the field in the bottom of the frame. The severity of the backstop's injury remains unknown, but it's possible he sits out a game or two in order to recover. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:04 pm
       
    • Victor Caratini exits with left leg discomfort
      Victor Caratini was removed from Wednesday night’s battle against the White Sox due to left leg discomfort.

      Advice: Caratini suffered the injury making a terrible slide while running the bases. It sounds like he was fortunate to have avoided any type of significant injury and should be considered day-to-day. Expect Yainer Diaz to get the call behind the dish for Thursday’s series finale against the White Sox though. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:59 pm
       
    • Added to lineup
      Rortvedt will start at catcher and bat eighth Wednesday against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Rortvedt was originally slated to receive a day off Wednesday versus Joe Ryan and the Twins, but he will instead replace Alex Jackson behind the dish as a late addition to Tampa Bay's lineup. Rortvedt has slashed .222/.300/.370 with a homer and five RBI across 30 plate appearances since the start of June. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:00 pm
       
    • Sitting Wednesday
      Smith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Smith will get a chance to clear his head Wednesday after going just 1-for-18 at the plate over his last five games. Austin Barnes will take over behind the dish while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:07 pm
       
    • Getting day off
      Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Rortvedt typically sits against left-handed pitchers, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday against righty Joe Ryan, affording Alex Jackson a turn behind the dish. Rortvedt looks to be receiving some routine maintenance after he had started at catcher in each of the Rays' last three games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:53 pm
       
    • Sitting again Wednesday
      Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: After making four consecutive starts behind the plate, Wong finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row. Wong still looks to be the Red Sox's No. 1 catcher, but manager Alex Cora may have wanted to reward backup Reese McGuire with another start after he drew two walks in Tuesday's 4-3 win.

    • Giving way to Haniger on Wednesday
      Garver is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: Garver and Mitch Haniger seem to have settled into a timeshare at the designated hitter spot of late, and it'll be the latter's turn to start Wednesday after Garver was included in the lineup for Tuesday's 8-5 win. The Mariners should have room for both players in the starting nine versus left-handed pitching, but neither of the two appears to be locked into a full-time role versus righties at the moment.

    • Heading to bench Wednesday
      Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

      Advice: With solid counting statistics (12 home runs, two stolen bases, 37 RBI and 28 runs) and a non-toxic batting average (.234), Jeffers has been one of the top fantasy catchers this season, but he's started to lose some of his shine in recent weeks. He's slashing just .153/.240/.259 overall since May 15, and his ongoing struggles at the dish have begun to cost him some playing time. He'll give way Wednesday to Christian Vazquez, who remains the Twins' No. 2 catcher but seems to have moved his way into more of a timeshare with Jeffers behind the dish.
