Teel went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Royals.

Teel delivered a two-RBI single in the second inning to account for his production on the day. He now has at least one hit in three of his four starts since making his season debut, and he also has two multi-RBI showings. Teel has been in the lineup for four of a possible six games, so he doesn't look to have extensive workload restrictions.

Wells went 0-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Wells got aboard on a fielder's choice in the 10th inning and promptly swiped his first base of the season. The catcher has gone just 2-for-21 over eight games since he returned from cervical headaches that cost him two weeks of action. Wells is batting just .157 with a .499 OPS, four home runs, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored, two doubles and a steal over 55 contests this season.

D'Arnaud (foot) was able to catch from a pitching machine Sunday and has continued to do swinging and throwing in his workouts, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

D'Arnaud is doing nearly every baseball activity except for running, which is the main hurdle he'll need to clear in his recovery from right foot plantar fasciitis before the Angels send him out for a rehab assignment. The veteran backstop has been on the injured list since May 7 due to the injury and appears unlikely to make it back until after the All-Star break.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Though he'll take a seat for the series finale while Connor Wong gets a turn behind the plate, Narvaez may have reclaimed the No. 1 catcher job for Boston. The Red Sox optioned the slumping Mickey Gasper to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, leaving Narvaez and Wong as the only backstops on the active roster. Narvaez started three of the previous four contests, going 2-for-8 with a double while also reaching base on a hit-by-pitch.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Tyler Heineman will get the nod at catcher while O'Hoppe rests after starting the previous two games. Dating back to the start of June, O'Hoppe is hitting .286 with two home runs, 10 RBI and five runs in 20 games.

Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The Twins will go with Alex Jackson behind the dish for the series finale. Caratini had started at catcher the last five games, going 4-for-19 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs during that time.

Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Feduccia will be rested for the series finale after he started at catcher the last three games. Nick Fortes will handle duties behind the plate Sunday.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Bailey will get a breather for Sunday's matinee after he started behind the plate the last three games. Austin Hedges will handle catching duties for Cleveland in the series finale.

Garver will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

The veteran split time behind the dish with Jhonny Pereda from mid-May through mid-June while Cal Raleigh was on the injured list, but Garver has now returned to a reserve role. Though he'll crack the lineup Sunday while Raleigh serves as the Mariners' designated hitter, Garver is unlikely to see more than a start or two per week in his role as the No. 2 catcher.

Higashioka is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

The Rangers will keep Higashioka on the bench for a second straight game while Elias Diaz is rewarded with another start after driving in two runs during Saturday's 7-4 win. Higashioka should still be well positioned to see the larger share of the starts at catcher while Danny Jansen (forearm) is on the shelf.
