Narvaez is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Narvaez will head to the bench for the second game of Tuesday's twin bill after going 0-for-4 and catching all nine innings during the Game 1 loss. Kevan Smith will start behind the dish and hit sixth in his stead.

Garver (quadriceps) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Garver is dealing with a bruised quadriceps, but the Twins didn't summon an additional catcher from the minors prior to Tuesday's twin bill, suggesting the 27-year-old will be back behind the dish for Game 2. Bobby Wilson is starting behind the plate and hitting ninth in his stead for Game 1.

Wynns was promoted from Triple-A Norfolk to the major leagues Tuesday.

Wynns is set to make his major-league debut after putting together a .257/.314/.404 slash line with four home runs and 16 RBI through 32 games at Triple-A. He figures to serve as the Orioles' backup catcher following the demotion of Andrew Susac to the minors.

Rupp inked a minor-league deal with Minnesota on Monday, ESPN's Darren Wolfson reports.

Rupp was released by the Rangers on Saturday, but he's already caught on with a new team. He'll be sent to Triple-A Rochester. During his last stint in the major leagues (which came in 2017 with the Phillies), Rupp hit .217 with 14 home runs and 34 RBI over 88 games. If he performs well in the minors, he could get an opportunity to earn playing time at the big-league level. Bobby Wilson is currently the only healthy catcher, with Mitch Garver (quadriceps) listed as day-to-day and Jason Castro (knee) set to miss the rest of the season.

McCann (intercostal) is starting at catcher and hitting seventh in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

As expected, McCann is good to go for Game 2 of Monday's twin bill after getting the first game off to recover from an intercostal spasm that forced his premature exit from Sunday's contest. The 27-year-old, who is hitting .256/.310/.375 with four homers through 45 games this season, will face Domingo German in his return to the starting nine.

Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Gonzalez will report back to the Knights after recording his first career MLB hit and RBI in Sunday's win over the Brewers. A corresponding roster move has yet to be announced, but the expectation is that Kevan Smith, who was on the minor-league disabled list when Gonzalez was initially summoned to the majors, will take his place on the roster and as the White Sox's backup catcher. The 25-year-old went 1-for-9 with four strikeouts in three games before being sent back to the minors.

McCann (intercostal) is out of the lineup for Game 1 of the Tigers' doubleheader with the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The Tigers didn't call up a catcher from the minor-league ranks prior to the first game of the twin bill, so it's expected that McCann will be behind the plate in Game 2. McCann exited the seventh inning of Sunday's game against the Blue Jays with a left intercostal spasm, resulting in backup John Hicks finishing the contest as the Tigers' backstop. Hicks will pick up the start in the first game Monday before presumably giving way to McCann in the nightcap.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for the first game of the Yankees' doubleheader Monday against the Tigers, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Sanchez will give way to Austin Romine behind the plate in the opener of the twin bill before presumably reclaiming catching duties in the nightcap. The 25-year-old has shown little sign lately that he's ready to break out of his season-long swoon, as he has recorded just two hits in 29 at-bats over his past nine games.

The Orioles are expected to recall Wynns from Triple-A Norfolk ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mets, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Wynns already joined the Orioles in the Bronx in advance of their series finale with the Yankees on Sunday, but he wasn't formally recalled after the game was postponed due to inclement weather. As a result, the Orioles will likely wait another two days before adding him to the active roster in a transaction that corresponds with Andrew Susac's demotion to Triple-A on Saturday.

McCann (ribs) could be back in time for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader, Evan Woodbery of Mlive.com reports.

McCann exited Sunday's game after suffering an intercostal spasm, but he thinks he'll be good to go Monday. Detroit will re-examine McCann on Monday to see if he'll be able to suit up behind the dish. If he's unable to play, John Hicks is the only other catcher available, so the Tigers could call up Grayson Greiner from Triple-A Toledo to help out.
