• Back from paternity leave
    The Rangers activated Heim from the paternity leave list Tuesday.

    Advice: Heim was away from the club for the last three games as he tended to more important life matters. Sam Huff was optioned in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:55 pm
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Stallings is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Stallings had started in five of six games since Elias Diaz's (calf) injury, but he'll yield to Hunter Goodman behind the dish Tuesday. Both Stallings and Goodman have been red-hot at the plate lately, with Stallings riding a six-game hit streak with four extra-base hits and four runs scored since June 10 and Goodman swatting three homers over his last three games. Regardless, Stallings should see most of the catching work moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:52 pm
  • Rangers option Huff back to Round Rock
    Rangers optioned C Sam Huff to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Huff is back down with Jonah Heim off the paternity list. The 26-year-old backstop will return to Round Rock and hope for another opportunity, but it’s tough to see it with the Rangers at this point. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:46 pm

  • Absent from lineup
    Grandal is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Grandal has now started every other game across the last nine contests. It was initially Henry Davis (concussion) receiving the other starts, but with Davis sidelined, Jason Delay is doing the catching Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:22 pm
  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Fortes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Fortes has started 11 of Miami's first 14 games in June despite going 3-for-31 during that stretch, but he'll take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Christian Bethancourt will work behind the plate and bat ninth in his place. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:41 am
     
  • DFA'd by Seattle
    The Mariners designated Zavala for assignment Tuesday.

    Advice: Zavala has played in just 18 games this season and has a .154/.214/.282 slash line and 37.2 percent strikeout rate in 43 plate appearances. The Mariners already have Cal Raleigh and Mitch Garver on the big-league roster, so the club will roll with two catchers going forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:41 am
     
  • Mariners remove Seby Zavala from roster
    Mariners designated C Seby Zavala for assignment.

    Advice: The Mariners are removing Zavala from the active and 40-man roster with Ty France (heel) coming off the injured list. This means Mitch Garver is now the backup catcher as well as the designated hitter, and Tyler Locklear is staying on the roster. If Zavala goes unclaimed, he likely will report to Triple-A Tacoma.

  • Homers against Dodgers
    Stallings went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Monday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Stallings has taken over as the Rockies' primary catcher in the absence of Elias Diaz (calf). He's started six of the team's last seven games, collecting seven hits across 18 at-bats with three RBI and four runs scored. Stallings has also hit cleanup in the past two contests.
