Stassi will sit Sunday against the Mets, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Stassi hasn't started more than three consecutive games at any point this season. He was in the lineup for each of the Angels' last three contests, so it's not a surprise to see Kurt Suzuki take over behind the plate Sunday.

Vazquez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mariners.

Vazquez is hitting .167 with zero home runs and one steal in nine games this month. Kevin Plawecki is starting behind the dish and hitting ninth.

Raleigh will be on the bench Sunday against the Red Sox.

The Mariners didn't have a clear starting catcher for the early part of the season, but Raleigh has a firm grip on the role now. His off day Sunday follows five straight starts. Luis Torrens will take over behind the plate.

Zavala's contract was selected from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) has not been placed on the injured list, but he is also unavailable in the short term, so Zavala will serve as the backup catcher. Reese McGuire figures to get the bulk of the starts while Grandal is out.

Trevino is out with back tightness Sunday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

He was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cubs. Trevino apparently played through the issue Saturday and the team hopes to get him a couple days off as the Yankees have an off day Monday before starting a series against the Rays.

Sanchez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rays.

Sanchez is hitting .125 with one home run and nine strikeouts in nine games this month. Luis Arraez is in at designated hitter while Ryan Jeffers starts behind the dish.

Maldonado is not in Sunday's lineup against the Marlins.

Maldonado is hitting .259 with one home run and eight strikeouts in eight games this month. Jason Castro is starting behind the dish and hitting eighth.

Trevino was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cubs.

This may just be a case of a catcher getting the day game off after Trevino started Saturday night's contest. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the dish and hit eighth.

Haase went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI triple and a run scored in Saturday's victory over Toronto.

Haase had arguably his best game of the season Saturday against the Jays, sending Javier Baez home on a triple and later scoring on a Victor Reyes single. It's been a disappointing season for the catcher, but he now has at least one hit in three of five June games and has raised his batting average to .186.

Trevino went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-0 victory against the Cubs on Saturday.

The Yankees hounded Cubs rookie starter Matt Swarmer with six solo homers in the win, and Trevino was responsible for one of those with his blast to left field in the fifth inning. The backstop was the only player to collect three hits in the contest, marking his fourth multi-hit performance over his past nine games. Over that stretch, Trevino is slashing a robust .520/.556/.960 with three homers, eight RBI and seven runs.
