Quero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Quero has been heating up of late at the dish, going 6-for-16 with a home run, three walks, seven runs and five RBI over his last six games. However, he'll head to the bench Sunday for the fourth time in the White Sox's last five matchups against right-handed starters, so he may not have reclaimed primary catching duties from Drew Romo just yet.

Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

The absence ends a run of 24 consecutive starts for Dingler, who posted a .191/.194/.416 slash line with five doubles, five homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs during that span. Jake Rogers will step in behind the plate Sunday while Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) serves as the DH in his return from the injured list.

Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

He'll receive a breather after he started behind the plate each of the last three days while going 3-for-10 with a double, two walks and two RBI. Alex Jackson will replace Caratini as the Twins' starting catcher in the series finale.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

After making consecutive starts behind the plate to begin the week, Bailey will now hit the bench for the third time in four contests. Austin Hedges will get the nod at catcher over Bailey once again Sunday. Since he was acquired from the Giants on May 9, Bailey has slashed .148/.200/.333 with a home run and four RBI in 10 games.

Basallo (pectoral) is starting behind the plate and batting fifth Sunday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 21-year-old tweaked his pectoral late in Saturday's contest, but he's still in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. It's especially encouraging that Basallo is working behind the plate rather than simply serving as the designated hitter. He's homered four times in his past 12 contests and has a .925 OPS with eight RBI and six runs during that span.

Wong went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Guardians.

Wong thought a home run drought dating back to September 2024 had ended, but his sixth-inning homer was changed to an RBI double upon review. Despite Saturday's effort, Wong sits third on the catching depth chart after interim manager Chad Tracy indicated Mickey Gasper would be Boston's primary catcher against right-handers, per Tim Healy of The Boston Globe.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Saturday that Gasper has emerged as the team's preferred option at catcher against right-handed pitching, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Following a May 7 promotion, Gasper initially saw most of his opportunities at designated hitter with Roman Anthony (finger/wrist) on the shelf. Masataka Yoshida and Andruw Monasterio have since settled into a platoon at DH, but Gasper has poached starts behind the plate from Carlos Narvaez and Connor Wong. Since his call-up, Gasper is slashing an impressive .340/.380/.404 across 51 plate appearances. With zero home runs or steals, eight runs and two RBI over 16 games, however, he isn't providing much fantasy value, and his batting average has been fueled by a .432 BABIP.

Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Yankees.

Langeliers has gone 14 games without a multi-hit effort, batting just .151 (8-for-53) with two homers and three RBI in that span. The catcher started the year hot, so a slight cooldown should come as no surprise. He's still hitting .293 with a .909 OPS, 14 homers, 30 RBI, 37 runs scored and 12 doubles across 53 games this season. He has yet to attempt a stolen base after logging seven of them on eight attempts last year.

Jensen went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Rangers.

The 22-year-old backstop got the Royals on the board in the top of the seventh inning with an RBI single before launching a two-run homer off Chris Martin in the following frame to give his team a 6-3 lead, but the bullpen couldn't make it stick. Jensen's long ball was his seventh of the season but his first since April 22, snapping a 29-game drought in which he'd slashed a meager .183/.271/.247 with six doubles and nine RBI.

Basallo tweaked a pectoral muscle during his plate appearance in the ninth inning of Saturday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Basallo sustained the injury when he struck out swinging in the ninth, though Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said after Saturday's game that Basallo would have batted again if the order came up. That could mean that Basallo will be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Toronto, but if he's unable to play, then Tyler O'Neill could serve as the team's designated hitter. Basallo went 1-for-2 with two walks in Saturday's win.
