Mejia is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mike Zunino appears to be manager Kevin Cash's preferred option behind the dish, at least for the time being. Monday will mark the fourth time in the last five games that Mejia is not in the starting nine.

Sanchez went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Tigers.

Sanchez was one of three Yankees that recorded at least two hits Sunday and also plated a run, scoring Aaron Judge with an RBI single in the top of the eighth. Sanchez has been extremely inconsistent at the plate this season but might be turning things around of late, as he has reached base safely in three of his last four contests while posting two multi-hit games in that span.

Rortvedt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Kansas City.

Rortvedt gave Minnesota a 2-1 lead with his second-inning solo shot. It was the first home run of the catcher's career. He's hitting .179 with three RBI and two runs scored across 31 plate appearances. Mitch Garver and Willians Astudillo figure to see most of the playing time behind the dish for Minnesota.

Hedges is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Hedges went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts in the matinee, and it's no surprise he won't start both games of the twin bill. Rene Rivera will start behind the plate in the nightcap.

Godoy is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Godoy is 4-jfor-16 with a double, two walks and two RBI since being promoted last week, and he'll head to the bench Sunday. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate in the series finale.

Garver is not in the lineup Sunday against the Royals.

Garver is 9-for-23 with two homers, five doubles and an 8:7 BB:K during his eight-game hit streak, but he'll receive the day off Sunday. Ben Rortvedt was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul and will start behind the plate Sunday.

Rortvedt was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old will rejoin the Twins on Sunday with Max Kepler (hamstring) landing on the injured list. Rortvedt will provide catching depth behind Mitch Garver and Willians Astudillo.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

Jansen will take a seat for Sunday's matinee and figures to be behind the plate for the nightcap. Reese McGuire will start Game 1 for Toronto.

Grandal is out of the lineup Sunday versus Baltimore.

Grandal started both ends of Saturday's doubleheader and will receive the day off for Sunday's series finale. Zack Collins will work behind the plate for Chicago.

Mejia is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Phillies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mejia will head to the bench for the third time in the past four games Sunday. Mike Zunino receives another start behind the plate for the Rays.
