Heim went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over Oakland.

Heim started a second straight game, as primary backstop Jose Trevino is dealing with a forearm injury. Trevino is listed as day-to-day, so Heim should fill in until the team's top backstop is ready to return. Heim is 12-for-28 (.429) with five extra-base hits, six RBI and five runs scored over his last nine games.

Vazquez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Royals.

Vazquez managed just one hit but reached base twice after he was safe on a fielder's choice in the seventh. He would end up taking second for his eighth stolen base of the year, which already represents a season high in steals for him. The 30-year-old backstop is slashing .266/.310/.365 with four homers, 32 RBI, 28 runs scored and a 16:51 BB:K over 261 plate appearances.

Wynns went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 13-3 rout of the Astros.

The veteran is starting a couple times a week as Baltimore's No. 2 backstop behind Pedro Severino, and Wynns took advantage of his opportunity Tuesday. Despite the strong performance, the 30-year-old is slashing only .171/.209/.341 through 43 plate appearances on the year with two homers and seven RBI -- not surprising numbers for a player with a career .599 OPS in the majors.

Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, an additional RBI and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 11-5 win over the Angels.

The 28-year-old started the scoring with a solo shot during the opening frame, and he came around to score during the fourth inning after hitting an RBI double. Sanchez is hitting .288 with eight homers, seven doubles, 19 RBI and 14 runs through 23 games in June.

Trevino will miss at least a couple days with a forearm contusion, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

He suffered the injury when he slipped in the bathroom Tuesday morning. It's unclear exactly how long Trevino will be sidelined, but John Hicks was recalled to be the backup catcher until Trevino is ready to play again.

Trevino is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Trevino will sit for the second straight game as Jonah Heim works behind the plate against his former club Tuesday. Heim and Trevino have seen a relatively even split in the catching duties over the past few weeks, and that could continue going forward.

Rogers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Rogers sits after starting seven of the last nine games. Eric Haase will take over behind the plate in his absence.

Plawecki (hamstring) has been slow in his recovery from a strained left hamstring, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

There's been no report of a setback, but it remains unclear when Plawecki will be activated from the 10-day injured list. Until then, Connor Wong, who got his first MLB start Saturday, will handle backup catching duties for the Red Sox.

Hedges went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Monday's 13-5 win over the Tigers.

Hedges swatted a homer in the second inning to extend Cleveland's lead to 5-1 and added a sacrifice fly in the fifth. The long ball was Hedges' first since June 1 and his fourth of the year. The 28-year-old is slashing .165/.218/.278 with five extra-base hits, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and a lowly 7:42 BB:K over 127 plate appearances. It's tough to trust Hedges in any fantasy lineup, given his inefficiency at the plate and the fact that he still splits time with Rene Rivera behind the dish.

Rogers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 13-5 loss to Cleveland.

Rogers joined in on the slug fest Monday, as Detroit hit three home runs as a team and Cleveland launched two bombs. The Detroit catcher now has four home runs this season to go along with a .741 OPS. It's solid if not spectacular production, and as the team's best healthy defender behind the plate, he should remain in the lineup most days moving forward.
