MLB Player News

Wynns is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Wynns will head to the bench after starting three of the last four games behind the plate. Considering that each of those assignments came against left-handed starting pitchers, Wynns probably hasn't unseated Chance Sisco as the Orioles' top catcher and is likely still stuck in the short side of a platoon.

Trevino started Saturday and went 1-for-3 with with an RBI single in a 5-2 win over the Rockies.

This was Trevino's first start in the majors, and it was memorable. He delivered a game-tying single in the seventh inning to help the Rangers end a seven-game losing streak. As important as the hit was his guidance of starter Mike Minor through seven strong innings. Trevino was called up this week from Double-A Frisco as insurance while Robinson Chirinos served a one-game suspension. He was pressed into duty Friday, making his MLB debut when Carlos Perez sustained an injury to his right ankle. Perez has since been placed on the disabled list, so Trevino is now the backup to Chirinos.

Stassi went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's win over the Royals.

Stassi's sixth-inning homer off Danny Duffy busted the game open, putting the Astros up 7-2 while helping chase the southpaw. The backup catcher has now collected at least one hit in four straight games and is batting a solid .264/.336/.512 with seven homers through 40 games this season. If Stassi continues to produce in his limited opportunities, he could start to carve out a bigger role for himself at the expense of starter Brian McCann, who is hitting just .209/.299/.349 this season.

Perez was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right ankle sprain Saturday.

Perez suffered the injury during Friday's game against the Rockies. Jose Trevino will be the Rangers' backup catcher in Perez's absence.

Gomes went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.

His ninth-inning solo blast didn't affect the outcome, but it did give Gomes nine homers on the year, including three in his last six games. The catcher has a strong .303/.378/.697 slash line through 10 contests in June and should continue to see the majority of playing time for Cleveland behind the plate.

Garver is on the bench Saturday against Cleveland.

Garver has been the Twins' primary catcher since Jason Castro went down with season-ending knee surgery, though his fantasy value has been minimal, as he's hitting just .228 with a pair of homers in 41 games. Bobby Wilson, who starts Saturday, isn't much of a threat to take Garvers' job, however, as he's hitting a mere .157.

Perez (ankle) is out of the lineup Saturday against the Rockies.

Perez left Friday's game with a right ankle sprain and was spotted following the game with a walking boot and crutches, though he hasn't yet been placed on the disabled list. Jose Trevino will get the start behind the plate Saturday.

McCann is not in the lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

McCann is coming off a three-hit performance in the series opener Friday, though he's hitting an unremarkable .249/.303/.358 with four homers in 52 games. Grayson Greiner will get the nod behind the plate in his place.

Narvaez went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers.

Narvaez brought some life to the White Sox offense, which had done little against Mike Fiers until his sixth-inning homer, his first of the season. He returned to the lineup Friday after sitting out two straight games and has played just five of the last 13.

Perez sprained his right ankle during Friday's loss to the Rockies and left the ballpark following the game wearing a walking boot and with crutches, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

That's not a good sign for the Rangers, who are dealing with a slew of injuries right now. If Perez lands on the disabled list, Jose Trevino, who filled in after Perez left Friday's game, will get more opportunities as the primary backup to Robinson Chirinos.
