  • Scratched from Thursday's lineup
    Stephenson was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

  • Marlins release catcher Christian Bethancourt
    Marlins released C Christian Bethancourt.

    Advice: So much for sticking around as emergency organizational depth. Bethancourt went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week by the Marlins. The 32-year-old veteran backstop batted just .159/.198/.268 with two homers in 88 plate appearances over 38 games this season before being cut loose. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Tyler Stephenson scratched from Thursday’s lineup
    Tyler Stephenson was scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Stephenson left the club on Thursday evening to be with his pregnant wife, according to a team statement. There’s a strong possibility he’s away from the team for the next couple days. It’ll be Luke Maile handling the catching duties in his absence. Austin Wynns would most likely come back up from Triple-A Louisville, if he’s gone more than a day or two.

  • Astros bring in Omar Narváez on minor league deal
    Astros signed C Omar Narváez to a minor league contract.

  • Marlins outright Christian Bethancourt to Triple-A
    Marlins sent C Christian Bethancourt outright to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Bethancourt went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week by the Marlins. The 32-year-old veteran backstop will most likely wind up electing free agency, but there’s a chance he decides to stick around as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Today, 3:08 pm
     
  • Out of Thursday's lineup
    Jansen isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup Thursday against the Yankees.

    Advice: Jansen broke an 0-for-12 skid with a double during Wednesday's victory, and he'll now get a breather for Thursday's series opener. Alejandro Kirk will start behind the dish and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:00 pm
     
  • Resting Thursday
    Barnhart is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Barnhart had started behind the plate in three of the past four games but will get a breather for the day game after the night game. Jose Herrera will handle the catching duties Thursday, but Barnhart looks poised to serve as the Diamondbacks' top backstop until Gabriel Moreno (thumb) is back from the injured list.

  • Getting breather Thursday
    Amaya is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in San Francisco.
