Garver isn't in the Rangers' lineup Wednesday against the White Sox.

Garver is 4-for-20 with three RBI and two runs scored over his last five contests and will catch a day off Wednesday. Ezequiel Duran will serve as Texas' designated hitter in Garver's place, allowing Travis Jankowski to start in left field while batting eighth.

Thaiss isn't in the Angels' lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Wednesday will mark the third consecutive game Thaiss begins in the dugout as he is hitless (0-for-8) across his last three contests. Chad Wallach will start behind the dish instead and bat seventh.

Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

After starting at catcher in both of first two games of the series with Minnesota and going 3-for-8 with a double, two walks, two runs and an RBI, Wong will take a seat Wednesday. He'll give way to Reese McGuire, who will form a battery with starting pitcher Garrett Whitlock.

Trevino is absent from the lineup Wednesday versus the Mariners.

Kyle Higashioka will start behind the plate and bat eighth. Neither catcher has offered significant offensive production for the Yankees here in 2023.

Minnesota signed Kolozsvary to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

Kolozsvary declined his outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk last week, and the 27-year-old backstop will instead head to Triple-A St. Paul to provide organizational depth behind the plate for Minnesota. The Twins would need to add him to the 40-man roster if they deem him worthy of a promotion.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

After catching both of the first two games of the series with Kansas City, Rogers will get a breather with Wednesday's finale beginning at 1:10 p.m. ET. Eric Haase will step in behind the plate to form a battery with starting pitcher Matthew Boyd.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Jansen was behind the plate for both of the first two games of the series in Miami, so he'll sit Wednesday with the finale beginning at 12:10 p.m. ET. Tyler Heineman will replace Jansen as the Blue Jays' starting catcher.

Thaiss is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Thaiss will take a seat as the Angels face off with southpaw Clayton Kershaw on the mound. Chad Wallach will take over behind the plate and bat seventh against the Dodgers.

Vazquez is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Red Sox.

Vazquez slugged a three-run homer and drew a walk in Monday's series opener against his former team, but Ryan Jeffers will take a turn behind the plate and bat eighth for the Twins on Tuesday.

Garver is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

Garver will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a strikeout in Monday's victory. Ezequiel Duran will slot in at designated hitter while Travis Jankowski enters the lineup in left field and bats eighth against Chicago.
