Higashioka is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Mon, Mar 16, 2026 at 3:10 PM

Higashioka (back) will start at catcher and bat seventh in Monday's Cactus League game against the White Sox.

Scouting Report

Is a pretty good hitting catcher, especially for the minor leagues, and boasts decent home-run power and run-producing qualities. Does not strike out a lot. Is not a natural leader, game-caller and receiver, so he needs to continue to work on his catching skills in order to maximize his time in Major League Baseball.

Long Range Potential: Backup catcher.
