  • Hits 11th homer
    Smith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against Colorado in Thursday's 5-3 victory.

    Advice: Smith hit one of three Los Angeles long balls Thursday, bashing a 451-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. It was the catcher's 11th home run of the campaign, which leads NL backstops. Across the majors, only three catchers have more homers than Smith this season, and only two (Adley Rutschman and William Contreras) have topped Smith's 45 RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:29 pm
  • Marlins designate Christian Bethancourt for assignment
    Marlins designated C Christian Bethancourt for assignment.

    Advice: Bethancourt was acquired from the Guardians last December and wound up hitting just .159/.198/.268 with two homers in 88 plate appearances over 38 games. It’ll most likely be newly-acquired Ali Sánchez taking his spot on Miami’s active roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:13 pm
  • Loses roster spot
    Bethancourt was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bethancourt has served as Miami's backup catcher this season, but he has struggled to a .466 OPS across 88 plate appearances. Ali Sanchez is expected to take over as the new second catcher on the depth chart. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:02 pm
  • Mets place Luis Torrens on paternity list
    Mets placed C Luis Torrens on the paternity list.

    Advice: Torrens will miss New York’s upcoming three-game series against the Cubs at Wrigley Field to be with his family. It’ll be Joe Hudson getting the call to take his active roster spot during his absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:24 pm
  • Smith blasts 11th home against Rockies Thursday
    Will Smith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against the Rockies on Thursday.

    Advice: Back in the two-hole of the batting order with Mookie Betts out, Smith hit a solo shot with two outs off Rockies starter Ty Blach with two outs in the fourth. His home run was his 11th of the season. Smith is hitting .276 with a .829 OPS and 45 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:20 pm
  • Resumes jogging
    The Rockies cleared Diaz (calf) to resume jogging Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: While Diaz looks to be making some progress in his recovery from the left calf strain that forced him to the injured list last Friday, he's still on track to spend more than the minimum 10 days on the shelf. The Rockies haven't yet provided a target date for Diaz's return from the IL, and Jacob Stallings should serve as Colorado's top backstop until Diaz is back in action. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:16 pm

  • Nursing back issue
    Herrera is unavailable to play Thursday against the Giants due to a back issue, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Herrera's back evidently locked up on him sometime around his arrival at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Ala. It partly explains why he's not in the lineup, although Pedro Pages has been the Cardinals' preferred option at catcher lately, anyway. At this point, Herrera should be considered day-to-day. St. Louis has a team day off Friday, so he'll have an extra day of rest before the series versus the Giants picks back up Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:50 pm
  • Marlins acquire Ali Sánchez from Cubs in trade
    Marlins acquired C Ali Sánchez from the Cubs for cash considerations.

    Advice: Sánchez heads to Miami as extra minor league catching depth after spending the first couple weeks of the year with the Cubs organization at Triple-A Iowa. The 27-year-old backstop has gotten into seven contests in the majors since 2020. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:41 pm
  • Going on paternity leave
    The Mets will place Torrens on the paternity list prior to Friday's game against the Cubs, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

    Advice: Torrens should miss the full three-game set in Chicago before rejoining the roster next Tuesday for the beginning of a homestand. Joe Hudson will take Torrens' roster spot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:26 pm
