Wong has gone 1-for-11 with a double and an RBI in his three games at Triple-A Worcester since returning from a three-week absence due to a hamstring injury.

Worcester never placed Wong on the 7-day injured list, even though his recovery from the hamstring issue lingered longer than anticipated. The 25-year-old backstop maintains a .408 OPS on the season while striking out in 32 percent of his plate appearances.

Jansen (hamstring) will receive further testing Sunday and Monday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Jansen exited Sunday's game against Houston with a right hamstring strain, but manager Charlie Montoyo described the strain as mild. If the 26-year-old needs to spend time on the injured list, Riley Adams could be an option to be called up as catching depth.

Jansen left Sunday's game against the Astros with a right hamstring strain, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Reese McGuire took over at catcher in the fourth inning, and it has now been revealed that Jansen is dealing with the hamstring issue. A further update should be given later Sunday, but it should be noted that such injuries often lead to multi-week absences.

Jansen left Sunday's game against the Astros with an undisclosed injury, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It's not clear what Jansen may have injured, but his removal came shortly after sliding into third base. Reese McGuire replaced him behind the plate. Further updates on the backstop should become available later Sunday.

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

Jonah Heim will check in behind the dish in the series finale while Trevino receives a breather. Trevino had started at catcher in five of the Rangers' last six games, going 1-for-12 with a home run and two RBI.

Stassi is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

Stassi sat during Friday's game before going 2-for-5 with a homer as Saturday's starter. He'll retreat to the bench in favor of Kurt Suzuki on Sunday.

Godoy is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Angels.

Godoy will get his second game off in the last three days, with Tom Murphy taking over the catching duties Sunday.

McGuire is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Though Danny Jansen will be behind the dish in the series finale, McGuire may have supplanted him as the team's preferred backstop for the time being. McGuire caught four of the previous six games, and his .542 OPS -- while poor -- is still 38 points better than Jansen's own mark over a larger sample of plate appearances. At the very least, a timeshare between the two catchers could be in place until one of the two dramatically separates himself from the other from a performance standpoint.

Rogers is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

Rogers is not in the starting nine for the third time in five games. Eric Haase will get the start behind the dish and bat fifth.

Hedges is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Hedges will get a breather after starting the first two games of the series. Rene Rivera will work behind the plate and bat ninth.
