McCann is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.

McCann will take a seat for Thursday's series finale after starting the previous three games behind the dish, going 1-for-9 with a pair of walks in those contests. John Hicks will start at catcher and hit sixth in his stead.

Narvaez is not a part of Wednesday's starting lineup against the Twins.

Narvaez also rode the bench for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader. Kevan Smith will get the start in his place and is set to bat fifth.

Garver (quadriceps) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Garver was unlikely to start both games of the doubleheader -- especially while recently dealing with a bruised quadriceps -- and ceded Game 1 to Bobby Wilson. Garver returns for Tuesday's nightcap having gone 3-for-25 with three walks over his last seven starts.

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.
