  • Receiving breather Wednesday
    Ruiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Ruiz will rest up after he started at catcher in each of the Nationals' last four games while going 3-for-13 with a pair of doubles and walks. Drew Millas will get the nod behind the dish in Ruiz's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 12:12 pm
     
  • Getting start with O'Hoppe resting
    Thaiss will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: With top backstop Logan O'Hoppe getting a rare day off, Thaiss will start for just the fifth time in June. Thaiss' playing time will likely remain fairly limited throughout the season if O'Hoppe is able to stay healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 12:01 pm
     
  • Receiving afternoon off
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Langeliers will get a breather after he had started behind the plate in each of the Athletics' previous three contests. Kyle McCann will step in at catcher, forming a battery with right-hander Joey Estes. Rotowire.com Today, 11:28 am
     
  • Report: Astros add Omar Narváez on Triple-A deal
    The Astros have signed Omar Narváez to a minor league deal, according to KPRC2’s Ari Alexander.

    Advice: The Astros might be more worried about Victor Caratini’s hip injury than they were originally. If Caratini can’t return after the break, Narváez could overtake César Salazar to become Yainer Diaz’s backup. Rotoworld Today, 10:57 am

  • Gets MiLB deal from Houston
    Narvaez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Astros on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: Narvaez was released by the Mets earlier this month after slashing .192/.254/.259 over 215 plate appearances since the start of the 2023 campaign. The left-handed-hitting catcher will offer experienced depth at Triple-A Sugar Land for now, but could be a candidate to join the big-league roster soon with Victor Caratini (hip) expected to be out until after the All-Star break.

  • Getting day off Wednesday
    O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Athletics.

    Advice: O'Hoppe had started each of the previous 11 games -- including 10 at catcher -- so the Angels determined it was time to give him a breather. Matt Thaiss will start behind the plate for the Halos in Wednesday's series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 10:44 am

  • Brewers call up C Eric Haase from Triple-A
    Brewers selected the contract of C Eric Haase from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Haase will be making his season debut after hitting .279/.367/.503 in 41 games in Triple-A. The veteran was originally signed by the Brewers to serve as William Contreras’s backup, but he lost the gig when Gary Sánchez came on board this spring. He’ll place the ailing Sánchez for at least the next eight days. Rotoworld Today, 10:08 am

    Advice: Haase will serve as the Brewers' backup at catcher to William Contreras while Gary Sanchez (calf) is on the 10-day injured list and could see occasional starts at designated hitter versus left-handed pitching. The 31-year-old has an .870 OPS with nine home runs in 165 plate appearances at Nashville this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:05 am
