  • Getting imaging on quad
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Thursday that Caratini will undergo imaging on his injured left quadricep, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Caratini was removed from Wednesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox due to the injury and remained "pretty sore" Thursday, according to Espada. The skipper thinks Caratini could require a stint on the 10-day injured list, but the club will wait for the MRI results to come in before making that decision. Houston is already carrying Cesar Salazar and Cooper Hummel on the roster as additional catcher options behind Yainer Diaz and Caratini. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:31 am
     
  • Getting afternoon off
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: The Rays had initially planned to give Rortvedt a day off Wednesday, but the team later updated its lineup and included the 26-year-old at catcher for a fourth consecutive contest. After delivering two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win, Rortvedt will receive a breather for Thursday's day game. Alex Jackson will step in for Rortvedt behind the plate.

  • Getting afternoon off
    Lee is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Lee will cede the catching duties to Martin Maldonado for Thursday's day game after starting behind the plate in Wednesday night's 4-1 loss while going 2-for-4 with a pair of base hits. The 25-year-old backstop has gotten off to a poor start to June, slashing .185/.241/.296 through 15 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:10 am
     
  • 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 Wednesday, 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 Wednesday, 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 Wednesday, 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 Wednesday, 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 Wednesday, 1:53 pm
