  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Sitting Saturday

    Quero is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Brewers on Saturday.

    Quero drew the start Opening Day on Thursday and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. He'll be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game while Reese McGuire starts at catcher and bats eighth.

  • Phillies' Garrett Stubbs: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Stubbs cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Stubbs was DFA'd after losing the race for the backup catcher job in Philadelphia to Rafael Marchan but will remain in the organization. The 32-year-old Stubbs slashed .265/.352/.402 across 307 plate appearances in Triple-A last season and would likely return to the majors if J.T. Realmuto or Marchan had to miss any amount of time.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The White Sox outrighted Lee to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Lee was DFA'd by the White Sox on Wednesday after he failed to make the team's Opening Day roster. He'll remain in the organization after clearing waivers but could see some major-league action this season if the White Sox require depth at catcher. Lee appeared in 26 regular-season games for the White Sox in 2025 and posted a .257/.333/.429 slash line with one home run and three RBI across 40 plate appearances.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Taking seat Saturday

    Stephenson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Boston.

    Stephenson began the season by going 0-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's loss, and he'll get an extra day to rest Saturday with Jose Trevino starting behind the dish and batting eighth.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Sitting down Saturday

    Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.

    After going 1-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's loss, Kelly will retreat to the dugout Saturday while Miguel Amaya makes his first start of the season behind the plate, batting ninth.

  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Not starting Saturday

    Ruiz isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Ruiz will grab a seat on the bench after going 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's win. Drew Millas will fill in as Washington's backstop and bat second.

  • Nick Fortes C | TB

    Rays' Nick Fortes: Resting Saturday

    Fortes is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Cardinals on Saturday.

    Fortes got the start on Opening Day against St. Louis on Thursday, when he went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. He'll be on the bench for the beginning of Saturday's game, with Hunter Feduccia handling backstop duties and batting ninth while forming a battery with right-hander Joe Boyle.

  • Brewers' Jeferson Quero: Called up to Milwaukee

    The Brewers recalled Quero from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Considered to be the best catcher prospect in the Brewers' farm system, Quero will join the big-league roster for the first time in his career. The 23-year-old battled hamstring and shoulder issues last season but still slashed .255/.336/.412 with 44 RBI and 32 runs scored across 250 plate appearances at Nashville. He'll act in a reserve role behind William Contreras and Gary Sanchez at catcher and replace Andrew Vaughn (hand) on the active roster.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Idle Saturday

    Pages isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Pages will take a seat after going 1-for-4 with a run scored during Thursday's season opener. Ivan Herrera will fill in as St. Louis' catcher while Nolan Gorman works as the designated hitter and Ramon Urias starts at third base.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Goes yard in Friday's opener

    Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Royals.

    The reigning NL Rookie of the Year got hold of a 93.4 mph fastball from Cole Ragans in the third inning, giving Atlanta its second of three long balls on the night against the left-hander. Baldwin slugged 19 homers in 124 games in his MLB debut last year, and expectations are sky high for the 25-year-old in 2026 as he figures to be a near everyday player while splitting his time between catcher and DH.
