Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

He'll take a seat for the second day in a row and the third time in four games while Austin Wells earns another turn behind the plate. Trevino has gone just 3-for-26 at the dish over his last nine games, while Wells is holding down a .781 OPS in June. Manager Aaron Boone seems to be favoring the hotter bat in Wells for the moment.

Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

Raleigh is much more renowned for his power than his speed, but he's now up to a career-high four stolen bases with Saturday's swipe. The slugging backstop has reached safely in seven straight games, a stretch during which he owns a .429 on-base percentage thanks in large part to a 25.0 percent walk rate.

O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win against Detroit.

One day after belting a decisive three-run homer in the eighth inning, O'Hoppe tormented the Tigers again with a game-tying solo blast in the eighth frame. The budding star ranks fifth among MLB backstops with 12 long balls on the campaign while slashing a strong .273/.325/.478. O'Hoppe has knocked in at least one run in five of his past six contests and has collected seven total RBI during that span.

Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Alex Jackson will draw the start behind the plate while Rortvedt hits the bench for the series finale. Rortvedt caught all nine innings of Saturday's 8-1 loss, going hitless in three at-bats.

Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Wong will get the afternoon off after he started behind the plate both of the past two days, going 2-for-8 with an RBI between those contests. Reese McGuire will draw the start at catcher in the series finale.

Wells went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in a 9-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday.

The Yankees got beat pretty soundly Saturday, so Wells' two-run blast in the ninth inning didn't make much of an impact on the outcome. However, it was a positive development for the catcher's stat line after he had gone just 3-for-18 at the plate over his previous nine games. Wells is slashing a modest .213/.304/.346 with three homers, 13 RBI, 18 runs and a stolen base on the campaign. Over New York's past six contests, Jose Trevino has started four times to Wells' two starts, but the tide may be shifting with Wells getting his second straight start Sunday.

Rogers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and three total RBI in Saturday's 6-5, 10-inning loss to the Angels.

Rogers delivered a key blast in the top of the sixth inning to put the Tigers up 5-2, but Los Angeles scored the final four runs of the contest to spoil his effort. The Detroit backstop is now up to six long balls this season in 51 games, which is a step back from last year's pace, when he swatted a career-high 21 homers in 107 contests. Rogers is still capable of getting hot quickly, though he's splitting time behind the plate with Carson Kelly, which impacts either player's ability to sustain much momentum.

Lee went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Saturday against the Rockies.

Lee added insurance runs in the eighth inning of Saturday's win by popping his eighth home run of the season. Despite going yard three times in his last 12 games, Lee is in a lengthy slump, hitting just .175 across 80 at-bats in June. Also hurting Lee's fantasy value is that he's lost at-bats at designated hitter due to a combination of his struggles and the return of Eloy Jimenez.

Rutschman (hand) is starting at catcher and batting second Saturday against the Rangers.

Rutschman was given a day off Friday after he played through a right hand injury Thursday, and he seems to be feeling better ahead of Saturday's contest. Over his last 10 games, the 26-year-old backstop has gone 15-for-40 with a home run, two RBI and seven runs scored.

Trevino is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Trevino went 1-for-5 with an RBI double in the ninth inning of Friday's 16-5 win over Toronto. The lefty-hitting Austin Wells will start behind the dish Saturday and bat eighth against Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt.
