  • 54-62-4 9th Place
    • Swats second homer
      Marchan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Marlins.

      Advice: Marchan belted a solo shot in the fourth inning to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead. It was the backstop's second long ball over 30 plate appearances this season, which is as many homers as he hit across 224 plate appearances in the minors last year. Marchan has shown much more promise as a contact hitter than as a power hitter during his professional career, though three of his seven hits in the majors this year have gone for extra bases.

    • Sitting again Thursday
      Rogers is not in Thursday's lineup against the Angels.

      Advice: Rogers will sit for the second straight game, perhaps getting an extended breather after collecting just three hits across his last 29 at-bats. Carson Kelly is behind the dish and will hit ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 5:12 pm
       
    • Scratched from Thursday's lineup
      Stephenson was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Stephenson was scratched moments before first pitch to be present for the birth of his child. He'll likely be placed on the paternity list and will miss between one and three additional games. Luke Maile took over behind the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 pm
       
    • 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 Today, 4:55 pm
       
    • 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.

      Advice: Narváez provides Houston with some additional catching insurance with Victor Caratini sidelined due to injury. The 32-year-old veteran backstop was cut loose by the Mets earlier this month. Rotoworld Today, 3:26 pm
       
    • 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.
