  • Patrick Bailey (concussion) to return on Saturday
    Patrick Bailey (concussion) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Saturday.

    Advice: The 24-year-old backstop caught a bullpen session for Blake Snell on Friday without any issues, which was the final hurdle to clear before returning. Expect Jakson Reetz to be optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento to clear a spot on the active roster. Rotoworld Today, 4:47 pm
     
  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Pirates transferred Delay (knee) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Delay will give up his spot on the 40-man roster in order to make room for Daulton Jefferies, who was acquired in a trade with the Giants on Friday. Delay was already expected to be out until July after undergoing knee surgery in April, so his move to the 60-day IL has virtually no impact on his return timeline. He has resumed catching during bullpen sessions, but he still has a long way to go before returning to the Pirates' lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 2:17 pm

  • Not among starters
    Naylor is not included in the starting lineup for Friday's outing against the White Sox.

    Advice: The lefty catcher will get some rest as the Guardians take on southpaw starter Garrett Crochet. Austin Hedges will take over at catcher and bat ninth in place of Naylor. Rotowire.com Today, 1:24 pm
     
  • Out of lineup Friday
    Wells is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: The young backstop will not start against Tampa Bay while Jose Trevino catches and bats eighth. Wells has started four of the last seven matchups behind home plate for the Yankees, but it appears he and Trevino are in a near-even timeshare, as Wells has struggled to get the bat going with a slash line of .190/.321/.302 on the season.

    Herrera isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

  • Sitting in second straight
    Trevino is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Astros.

    Advice: The Yankees will go with Austin Wells at catcher for the second day in a row after Trevino had caught the previous three contests. The two have shared catching duties pretty close to down the middle this season, with Wells earning 21 starts to Trevino's 18. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:13 am
