  • Alfredo Duno C | CIN

    Reds' Alfredo Duno: Moving up to Double-A

    Duno was promoted to Double-A Chattanooga on Sunday.

    Duno will make the leap to the Double-A level after producing a .250 batting average with 16 home runs, 47 RBI, 46 runs scored and two stolen bases over 242 at-bats in 65 contests with High-A Dayton so far this season. The 20-year-old is considered to the the Reds' top overall prospect, and he could be on track to make his major-league debut during the 2027 campaign.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Knocks in two

    Teel went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Royals.

    Teel delivered a two-RBI single in the second inning to account for his production on the day. He now has at least one hit in three of his four starts since making his season debut, and he also has two multi-RBI showings. Teel has also been in the lineup for four of a possible six games, so he doesn't look to have extensive workload restrictions.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Logs first steal

    Wells went 0-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

    Wells got aboard on a fielder's choice in the 10th inning and promptly swiped his first base of the season. The catcher has gone just 2-for-21 over eight games since he returned from cervical headaches that cost him two weeks of action. Wells is batting just .157 with a .499 OPS, four home runs, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored, two doubles and a steal over 55 contests this season.

  • Gary Sanchez C | MIL

    Brewers' Gary Sanchez: Slaps ninth home run

    Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

    Getting the start behind the plate with William Contreras receiving the day off, Sanchez produced Milwaukee's first run of the game by taking Ryan Rolison deep in the second inning. The veteran catcher has swung the bat well in a limited role lately, batting .300 (9-for-30) with three home runs over his last 11 games.

  • Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Cleared to catch bullpen sessions

    D'Arnaud (foot) was able to catch from a pitching machine Sunday and has continued to do swinging and throwing in his workouts, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    D'Arnaud is doing nearly every baseball activity except for running, which is the main hurdle he'll need to clear in his recovery from right foot plantar fasciitis before the Angels send him out for a rehab assignment. The veteran backstop has been on the injured list since May 7 due to the injury and appears unlikely to make it back until after the All-Star break.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Back atop depth chart

    Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Though he'll take a seat for the series finale while Connor Wong gets a turn behind the plate, Narvaez may have reclaimed the No. 1 catcher job for Boston. The Red Sox optioned the slumping Mickey Gasper to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, leaving Narvaez and Wong as the only backstops on the active roster. Narvaez started three of the previous four contests, going 2-for-8 with a double while also reaching base on a hit-by-pitch.

  • Padres' Freddy Fermin: Resting Sunday

    Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Since he was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Fermin has started twice behind the plate while Rodolfo Duran has caught the other three games. Though he has a longer track record at the big-league level, Fermin could be used in a timeshare with Duran until he's further removed from the concussion he sustained June 13.

  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Idle Sunday

    Rushing is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Rushing will receive a breather after he started behind the plate in each of the past three games. Chuckie Robinson will handle catching duties for the Dodgers in the series finale in San Diego.

  • Eric Haase C | SF

    Giants' Eric Haase: Could see more time sans Susac

    Haase will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Triple-A Sacramento call-up Drew Cavanaugh received the first two starts at catcher following Daniel Susac's (back) placement on the injured list Friday, but Haase could end up being the main beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint while Susac is shelved. Since being promoted from Triple-A on April 21, Haase is batting just .200 but has made his 12 hits count, slugging four home runs and three doubles over 66 plate appearances.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Taking seat for series finale

    O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    Tyler Heineman will get the nod at catcher while O'Hoppe rests after starting the previous two games. Dating back to the start of June, O'Hoppe is hitting .286 with two home runs, 10 RBI and five runs in 20 games.
