Trevino is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Trevino was behind the plate for the Yankees' first two games of the season but will receive a breather Sunday after he went 1-for-6 with a run scored. Kyle Higashioka will start at catcher and bat eighth in the series finale against San Francisco.

McGuire is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

McGuire will get a day off for the first time in the young season after he started behind the plate in both of Boston's first two games while going 1-for-6 at the dish. The Orioles were successful on 10 of 10 stolen base attempts off McGuire, while the staff ERA was 9.00. Connor Wong will catch for starting pitcher Tanner Houck in the series finale.

Haase is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Haase will be getting his first breather of the 2023 season after he started behind the dish in both of the Tigers' first two contests while going hitless across eight plate appearances. Jake Rogers will step in at catcher in the series finale, forming a battery with starting pitcher Joey Wentz.

Garver went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, a third run scored and six RBI in Saturday's 16-3 rout of the Phillies.

After slugging a three-run shot in the fifth inning off Yunior Marte, Garver did it again in the seventh, this time off Seranthony Dominguez. The power display isn't a surprise, as Garver hit 23 homers in 122 games over the last two seasons with a .233/.330/.463 slash line, but the more important development for his fantasy value was the fact that he was able to play a full game behind the plate Saturday. If the 32-year-old regains catcher eligibility after being limited to 14 games at the position last year due to a forearm injury, his offensive profile becomes a lot more palatable.

Zavala went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Astros.

Zavala got his first start of the year in the White Sox's third game and made the most of it, homering off Jose Urquidy in the fourth inning. He should continue to serve as the White Sox's backup catcher unless Yasmani Grandal gets injured.

Gallagher is hitting ninth and behind the plate for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Gallagher will be the backstop with Aaron Civale on the mound. Mike Zunino started the first two games of the year for the Guardians, but he'll get some rest in this contest.

Raleigh will sit Saturday against Cleveland.

Raleigh started the first two games of the season behind the plate, going 2-for-8 with a two-run double. Tom Murphy will take over at catcher Saturday.

Bethancourt will be on the bench Saturday against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Bethancourt started behind the plate on Opening Day, going 0-for-2 with a walk. Francisco Mejia will be the catcher Saturday. The exact playing-time split between the pair may take some time to determine.

Kirk will sit Saturday against St. Louis.

Kirk is expected to split time with Danny Jansen behind the plate this season while also sharing designated hitter duties with Brandon Belt. It was Kirk behind the plate and Belt at DH on Opening Day, but it will be Jansen and Belt who get the starts Saturday.

Heim is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Heim drew the nod behind the plate Opening Day and went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs and two RBI in Thursday's 11-7 win. Though he'll take a seat Saturday and give way to Mitch Garver behind the dish, Heim is still expected to be the Rangers' preferred option at catcher more often than not.
