  • Getting Wednesday off
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Naylor started at catcher in each of the past three games, so he's presumably just getting a rest day Wednesday. David Fry will get the nod behind the plate in Naylor's place. Rotowire.com Today, 4:06 pm
     
  • Receiving day off
    Ruiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: After going hitless in seven at-bats while starting behind the plate Monday and Tuesday, Ruiz will get a break Wednesday. Riley Adams will handle the catching duties for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Bailey will get a breather Wednesday after he had caught each of the Giants' last six games. Tom Murphy will fill in for Bailey behind the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 1:49 pm
     
  • Heads to bench Wednesday
    Wells is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Wells had started behind the dish in both of the past two contests, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday. Jose Trevino will serve as the Yankees' starting catcher while Wells sits. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Gets Wednesday off
    O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: O'Hoppe will get the afternoon off after he had started behind the plate each of the past three games. Matt Thaiss will handle catching duties for the Angels in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 12:40 pm
     
  • On bench again Wednesday
    Fortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: For the second day in a row, Fortes will be on the bench while Christian Bethancourt draws another start behind the dish. Fortes had started both of the previous two games before Bethancourt picked up consecutive starts of his own, so the Marlins still seem to be viewing the catcher spot as a timeshare.

  • Draws fourth straight start
    Maile will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Maile will make his fourth consecutive start while Tyler Stephenson tends to a hand injury. The Reds continue to view Stephenson as day-to-day, so Maile could soon be headed back to the No. 2 role behind the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 11:50 am
     
  • Cranks first home run
    Wells went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Wells got the Yankees on the board in the third inning, leading off the frame with a 414-foot blast off Dean Kremer, his first of the season. The 24-year-old Wells has started to turn things around at the plate -- he's now 7-for-16 with three extra-base hits in his last four games after going 0-for-21 in his previous nine contests. Wells is now slashing .196/.338/.294 with seven runs scored and three RBI through 65 plate appearances this season while sharing catching duties with Jose Trevino.

  • Austin Wells has two hits, HR in loss to BAL
    Austin Wells went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Advice: Wells came into today as perhaps one of the unluckiest hitters in baseball. He had a 12.2 percent barrel rate and a .275 expected batting average but just a .167 actual average. He also had a .490 xSLG compared to a .208 SLG. He continued to make solid contact on both his balls in play today with a 97.4 mph single and a 102.6 mph home run that traveled 414 feet. A hot streak may be just around the corner. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:23 pm
