Trevino went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 victory over the Rangers.

Trevino pulled a homer to left in the ninth inning, giving the Yankees an insurance run before Michael King closed out the game. The former Ranger is slashing .250/.276/.393 through 16 games played so far this year as the team's primary catcher, while Thursday was his second multi-hit output of the season.

Langeliers went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

Langeliers hit one of two Oakland homers in the fourth inning, taking Shohei Ohtani deep with a 414-foot, two-run shot to center field. The long ball was the third in five games for the backstop, and he's knocked in five runs over that span. Langeliers' hot stretch has moved him into a tie for first in the majors among catchers with six homers on the season.

Haase went 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Orioles.

Haase had a good night and snapped a small slump, as he entered the night batting .188 over his last seven games with no multi-hit efforts during the stretch. The Detroit catcher is now batting a solid .271, and while Jake Rogers will continue to see playing time, Haase is the primary option behind the plate. He also has the versatility to play the outfield, which further cements his regular spot in the lineup.

Perez (back) said he expects to return to the Royals' lineup Friday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Perez sat out Wednesday and is absent again Thursday after taking a 95 mph fastball off his back in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks, but there doesn't seem to be a ton of concern. He is planning to take pregame batting practice Thursday to see if he might be an option off the bench in the Royals' series opener against the Twins.

Grandal (back) is starting behind the plate for the White Sox in Thursday's game against the Rays.

Grandal missed Wednesday's game with back spasms, but it wound up being just a one-day absence. The veteran catcher will bat fifth against Rays southpaw Shane McClanahan.

Perez is not in the Royals' lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota.

Perez was also on the bench Wednesday, although there's no indication to this point that he's dealing with an injury. Perhaps the Royals will offer an explanation prior to first pitch. MJ Melendez will do the catching Thursday.

O'Hoppe (shoulder) underwent surgery Tuesday and said he hopes to be able to return on the early end of his 4-to-6-month timeframe, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

O'Hoppe was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder last week. The rookie catcher was off to a strong start before the injury, slashing .283/.339/.547 with four homers and 13 RBI over 59 plate appearances. O'Hoppe has a chance to return late this season, but he's a tough hold in redraft leagues given his lengthy recovery period.

Raleigh is absent from the Mariners' lineup for Thursday's game in Philadelphia, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

It's a day game after a night game, so Raleigh will get some rest after making four consecutive starts. Tom Murphy will catch George Kirby.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Maldonado is currently in the midst of an 0-for-19 skid that has dropped his season average to .143 over 63 plate appearances. He'll get a rest for the series finale while Yainer Diaz picks up a start behind the plate.

Perez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Arizona.

Perez has been in the lineup for 23 of the Royals' 24 games to open the season, but he'll get a rare day off for the series finale. Freddy Fermin will handle catching duties for the Royals on Wednesday, with MJ Melendez lined up as the designated hitter after missing two games with back tightness.
