Lee is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Blue Jays.

Lee has wrestled the starting catcher job for the White Sox away from Martin Maldonado, but he's really struggled lately in going 4-for-27 with 14 strikeouts. Maldonado will do the catching for Nick Nastrini on Monday.

Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.

Rutschman inserted himself into a pitching duel between Kyle Bradish and Garrett Crochet, taking the latter deep in the sixth inning. This was Rutschman's first homer since May 15, and he went an uncharacteristically poor 6-for-30 (.200) over his eight contests in between long balls. The catcher is up to a .300/.338/.483 slash line with 10 homers, 35 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven doubles and one stolen base over 49 games this season.

O'Hoppe is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Guardians.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

The lefty-hitting Naylor will get the afternoon off while the Guardians oppose southpaw Reid Detmers in the series finale. Austin Hedges will spell Naylor behind the plate.

McCann will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

With Adley Rutschman getting a day off from catching duties and serving as the Orioles' designated hitter, McCann will settle in behind the plate. McCann has underwhelmed in his limited opportunities this season as the Orioles' No. 2 backstop, batting .211 with one home run over 76 plate appearances.

Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Trevino (illness) is starting at catcher and batting eighth for Sunday's series finale against the Padres.

Trevino missed the first two games of the series due to an illness, but he appears to have recovered and will be back behind home plate Sunday. Trevino is slashing .289/.319/.489 with three home runs and six RBI over 45 at-bats in May.

Raleigh will receive some routine maintenance for Sunday's day game after he started behind the plate in both of the previous two days. Seby Zavala will get the nod at catcher in the series finale.
