  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Pops eighth homer

    O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

    The slugging backstop got the Halos on the board when he took Carlos Vargas deep in the seventh inning. O'Hoppe is up to eight homers on the season, including three in the last five games, but those are his only hits over that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .259/.292/.553 with 11 runs and 13 RBI in 24 contests.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Homers in win

    Naylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Minnesota.

    Several innings before Kyle Manzardo's homer walked off the Twins, Naylor gave the Guardians an early 1-0 lead in the third inning. It was the third home run in 20 games for the catcher, who's batting .185 with a .634 OPS. Taking over as the primary catcher in 2024, Naylor's offense took a hit and that has continued into the first part of 2025.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Tallies three RBI in win

    Diaz went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's win over Detroit.

    Despite not recording an extra-base hit, Diaz tallied three RBI on Tuesday. The 26-year-old backstop has endured a sluggish start to the campaign overall, but he's fared better at the plate of late. Diaz is batting .270 (10-for-37) with one home run, one double, six RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 games, and he has at least one knock in six of his last seven outings.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Sixth homer in defeat

    Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to Texas.

    Langeliers snapped a seven-game homer dry spell Tuesday, taking Rangers right-hander Dane Dunning deep in the seventh inning. The hard-hitting backstop may not be helping fantasy managers in category-based leagues with his .232 batting average through 26 outings, but he's now up to six long balls, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and one stolen base over 99 at-bats this season as a solid source of power at the catcher position.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Homers, drives in three

    Kelly went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's victory against the Pirates.

    Kelly's bat has been hot this season, and he was rewarded with his first start in the cleanup spot Tuesday. He didn't waste much time making an impact, belting a two-run shot to open the game's scoring in the fourth inning. Kelly later added an RBI single in the ninth. He's started 15 games this season and has delivered multiple hits in five of those, resulting in a .370/.524/.891 slash line.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Participates in home run onslaught

    Wells went 1-for-6 with a solo homer in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.

    In case a 12-run lead wasn't enough, Wells gave the Yankees a 13-run cushion in the ninth inning when he took Bryan Baker deep to left-center field for a solo homer. It was Wells' fifth home run of the season, and the 25-year-old backstop has logged at least one RBI in five straight games, going 7-for-23 (.304) over that span.

  • Angels' Gustavo Campero: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Angels recalled Campero from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    Campero got his first taste of MLB action at the end of last season, going 11-for-46 with six RBI over 13 games. He's gotten off to a better start in the minors this year with a .333/.397/.472 slash line alongside 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and seven steals. The 27-year-old will now come up to give the Angels some additional outfield depth, replacing J.D. Davis on the active roster.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Slides up to cleanup spot

    Kelly is starting at catcher and batting fourth in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    The Cubs are shaking things up a bit, with the slumping Dansby Swanson dropping down to eighth in the order and Kelly moving up to the cleanup spot. The veteran catcher certainly deserves it, as he's sporting a spectacular 1.371 OPS through 15 appearances. Kelly has a career .699 OPS, so some regression is likely coming soon, but fantasy managers should enjoy the hot streak while it lasts.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Taking seat Tuesday

    Pages is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Cincinnati.

    Pages had started each of the previous four games at catcher, so he'll receive a well-earned break Tuesday. Yohel Pozo will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Cardinals.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Getting day off

    Trevino is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Trevino homered Monday during what was his third straight start, so he'll receive some rest Tuesday. Austin Wynns is catching and batting ninth for the Reds.
