  • Sitting again Sunday
    Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Wong is on the bench for the second day in a row, but the Red Sox haven't indicated that their top backstop is dealing with any sort of injury or illness. Reese McGuire will get another turn behind the dish Sunday at Wong's expense. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Nationals option Adams to Triple-A Rochester
    Nationals optioned C Riley Adams to Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: Adams has struggled with the bat and not seen much playing time as of late, so he’ll head back to Triple-A to see more regular at-bats. Drew Millas is up to be the backup backstop to Keibert Ruiz. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Idle against lefty
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Rortvedt will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Jonathan Aranda, Brandon Lowe and Richie Palacios as the Rays roll a full right-handed-hitting lineup versus Orioles southpaw Cole Irvin. Alex Jackson will spell Rortvedt behind the plate. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting in second straight game
    Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Diaz will give way to Victor Caratini behind the plate for the second day in a row while he's in the midst of a prolonged slump at the plate. Dating back to May 1, Diaz is slashing .200/.213/.259 over a stretch of 25 games. Given that he's valued mainly for his contributions at the plate rather than as a pitch framer and game caller, Diaz's lengthy dry spell with the bat looks to be costing him playing time. The Astros have already pulled back on using Diaz as a designated hitter on days he doesn't catch; he started seven games at DH between March and April, but he hasn't made a start as a DH since May 17.

  • Back on bench Sunday
    Vazquez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Vazquez remains the Twins' No. 2 catcher, but he picked up starts in three of the previous five games while Minnesota deployed top backstop Ryan Jeffers at designated hitter on three days he didn't start behind the plate. Jeffers will serve as the Twins' catcher for the series finale in Houston while Alex Kirilloff slots in as the DH, leaving no room in the lineup for Vazquez. The 33-year-old has struggled mightily at the dish in his second season in Minnesota, slashing .161/.179/.196 over 119 plate appearances while striking out a career-worst 25.2 percent rate.

  • First day off of 2024
    Contreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Contreras started Milwaukee's first 58 games of the season (58 at catcher, 11 at designated hitter), but he'll receive a well-deserved day off Sunday versus Chicago. He's been an MVP candidate early in 2024 with a eight homers, 44 RBI, 48 runs, four steals and a .322/.394/.498 slash line. Gary Sanchez is working behind the plate Sunday for the Brewers.

  • Brought up Sunday
    The Nationals recalled Millas from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

    Advice: With catcher Riley Adams being optioned down after batting struggles as of late, Millas will be brought up as the number two catcher. Millas has appeared in 30 games with Rochester this year, slashing .308/.353/.505 with 22 RBI and five home runs. Rotowire.com Today, 8:02 am
     
  • Optioned down to Triple-A
    Washington optioned Adams to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

    Advice: Adams will head down to Rochester after struggling to get his bat going lately, and catcher Drew Millas will be recalled concurrently. In his last 10 games, Adams has gone 5-for-27 and lost most of his backstop work to Keibert Ruiz as the seasons progressed. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am
     
  • Resting Sunday
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Toronto.

    Advice: The veteran will watch from the dugout as Grant Koch catches recent call-up Quinn Priester. Grandal is slashing .182/.194/.318 with 11 RBI this season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:52 am
