Heim went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's 2-1 win over Seattle.

Heim plated the game-winning run as part of the Rangers' two-run uprising in the seventh inning. He ranks third on the team and 11th overall in the majors with 27 RBI.

Haase went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Monday's win over the Guardians.

All three hits were singles, but fantasy managers will be happy with the effort, which pushed Haase's batting average up to .297 for the season. Jake Rogers has seen more time at catcher lately, though he's only batting .203, so Haase could see things swing back in his direction. He's also capable of playing in the outfield on days when Rogers starts behind the plate.

The target date for Garver (knee) to return off the 10-day injured list remains May 23, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Garver was able to take batting practice Friday and continues to make positive progress from the knee sprain that has kept him on the injured list since the middle of April. Because of how much time the veteran 31-year-old has missed, Garver will likely need a rehab assignment of at least a handful of games, and he'll likely begin that assignment at some point in the next week.

Maldonado is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Maldonado went 1-for-6 in two appearances in the three-game set against Seattle, and he'll retreat to the bench to open the series against the Angels on Monday. Yainer Diaz is starting behind the plate and hitting eighth.

Wallach woke up with a sore neck before Sunday's game against the Rangers and he'll test it out during pregame activities Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Wallach wasn't likely to play Monday anyway against right-hander Hunter Brown, but his availability off the bench will be determined in large part by how he looks in the pre-game workout. The Angels have Chris Okey up on the taxi squad, so it's possible the team could bring up Okey to be the backup backstop if they determine Wallach needs a short stint on the injured list.

Zavala is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Zavala had started at catcher in three of the White Sox's previous four games, in part due to the fact that Yasmani Grandal had been limited to designated-hitter duties while dealing with a back spasm. With Grandal reprising his usual duties behind the plate Monday, Zavala will retreat to the bench and may see more sporadic playing time moving forward.

Bethancourt is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Bethancourt will get a breather after he caught both of the final two games of the Rays' series with the Yankees over the weekend. Francisco Mejia will spell Bethancourt behind the dish.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

After catching in three of the Tigers' last four games, Rogers will receive a breather while Eric Haase gets a turn behind the plate. Rogers was the Tigers' offensive star in Sunday's 12-6 loss to the Cardinals, with his grand slam accounting for two-thirds of his team's runs on the day.

Fry is starting at first base and batting fifth for the Guardians on Monday against the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Fry finally gets his first start after being up with the big club for nearly a week. The 27-year-old hasn't even had a plate appearance yet, with his only action coming as a pinch-runner. Josh Naylor is getting a day off against lefty Joey Wentz.

Rogers went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 12-6 loss to the Tigers.

Rogers took Jojo Romero deep center field in the sixth to put the Tigers up 6-3 over the Cardinals. That lead would not last, however, after the Cardinals scored seven runs of their own in the bottom of the frame. Rogers has not gotten consistent playing time behind the plate yet leads his team with a .767 OPS and is tied at the top with four homers. He's now slashing .203/.309/.458 with seven extra base hits, 12 RBI, seven runs and an 8:24 BB:K over 68 plate appearances.
