  • Three hits in Tuesday's loss
    Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.

    Advice: Rutschman is on a tear during his five-game hitting streak, going 11-for-24 (.458) with seven RBI in that span. All three of his hits Tuesday were singles, and he has just two extra-base hits during the active streak. Rutschman continues to cement his status as one of the top catchers in baseball with a .323/.366/.419 slash line with two home runs, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored over 101 plate appearances this season.

  • Out against left-hander
    Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: The left-handed-hitting Narvaez started behind the plate Tuesday, but with southpaw Blake Snell on the hill for the Giants on Wednesday, the Mets will hand Narvaez the day off. Tomas Nido will handle the catching for the Mets. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 am
     
  • In Wednesday's lineup
    Contreras (hand) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: He made an early exit from Tuesday's loss to Arizona with lingering left hand soreness, although Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said afterward that Contreras' removal had more to do with the lopsided score. Contreras intends to continue playing through discomfort but might see more reps at DH than catcher, opening up starts behind the plate for Ivan Herrera. Rotowire.com Today, 8:39 am
     
  • Belts fifth homer
    Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Marcus Stroman left a breaking ball up in the strike zone in the second inning, and Langeliers launched it 414 feet to right-center field. It was the catcher's first long ball since his three-homer performance April 9 against the Rangers -- in the 11 games between those power displays, he went just 3-for-33 (.091) with a double as his only extra-base hit. On the season, Langeliers is slashing .174/.234/.406 through 77 plate appearances with five home runs and 11 RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 7:31 am
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Moreno is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Moreno will get a breather for the day game after he went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored while serving as Arizona's starting catcher in a 14-1 win over St. Louis on Tuesday night. Tucker Barnhart will check in behind the dish for Wednesday's series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 7:09 am
     
  • Homers Tuesday
    Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

    Advice: Sanchez was responsible for the Brewers' lone run Tuesday with a 432-foot blast off Bailey Falter to lead off the eighth inning. It's the second long ball of the year for Sanchez -- the 31-year-old backstop has primarily served as a bench option in the early going, backing up William Contreras with Rhys Hoskins serving as Milwaukee's primary DH. Sanchez is slashing just .167/.211/.361 with three RBI and two runs scored through his first 38 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:07 am
     
  • Will play through hand injury
    Contreras admitted after Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks that his left hand "doesn't feel good" but is "nothing that will keep me away from the game," Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Contreras missed four games earlier this month with an injury that was suffered back on April 3. He homered in his first plate appearance for the Cardinals' lone run Tuesday before eventually exiting after the fifth inning in the blowout loss. Manager Oliver Marmol said the lopsided score was the bigger reason for Contreras' departure, and the catcher seems adamant that he will continue to play through the injury. Contreras is slashing .326/.426/.500 in 13 games since getting hurt, so while it's clear he's not 100 percent, it does not appear to be affecting his offensive performance.

  • Hitless in return
    Heim went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Heim returned to the team following a stint on bereavement leave. Texas' starting catcher is batting .257/.286/.419 with three home runs, three doubles, 15 RBI and seven runs scored over 77 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 4:14 am
     
  • Goes yard in blowout loss
    Contreras went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Contreras provided a positive start for the Cardinals with his first-inning blast, but it quickly went off the rails for the home team after that. The catcher saw his 11-game hitting streak end Monday, but he's still been one of the Cardinals' most consistent bats so far. He's slashing .292/.418/.523 with three homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base over 19 contests. Manager Oliver Marmol has committed to getting both Contreras and Ivan Herrera regular at-bats, so they have often shared catcher and designated hitter in recent weeks. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:53 pm
