McCann went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to Cleveland.

McCann went yard in the sixth inning off Cleveland starter Shane Bieber. In the 10th inning, McCann got the White Sox within a run with an RBI single before he was replaced by pinch runner Ryan Goins. The 30-year-old McCann has done well in limited time this year, slashing .360/.407/.720 with three homers, five RBI and five runs scored across 27 plate appearances.

Nola (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Nola's injured hand remains tender after he hurt it in Friday's series opener, but he'll still be available off the bench in an emergency, which suggests the Mariners are optimistic he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. Joe Hudson will step in behind the dish for a second straight day in his stead.

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

Austin Allen will step in behind the plate while Murphy gets some maintenance after catching each of the Athletics' past three games. The rookie has yet to catch fire at the plate through 12 games this season, batting 5-for-30 with 13 strikeouts.

Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

After an 0-for-5 showing in Saturday's 9-6 loss, Garver's batting average has now slipped below .100 over 32 at-bats on the season. Alex Avila will catch Jose Berrios in the series finale and could see more work if Garver fails to break out of the offensive funk in the near future.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Jansen went 0-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 2-1 win, leaving him hitless in 18 at-bats over his last six games. Reese McGuire will check in behind the dish in the series finale for what will be his fourth start of the 2020 season.

Nola underwent X-rays on his hand Saturday that revealed no fractures, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Nola hurt his hand in Friday's contest against the Rockies, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. He'll be held out Saturday in hopes that he'll be able to return for the series finale Sunday.

Sanchez isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Sanchez will hit the bench after going 0-for-2 with two walks and one strikeout in the first game of Saturday's twin bill. Erik Kratz will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

Nola isn't starting Saturday against the Rockies.

Nola had a home run and a double in Friday's loss, but he'll sit for the second time in the last three games. Joe Hudson is starting at catcher and batting ninth Saturday.

Perez came on as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning against the Yankees on Friday and hit what would prove to be the game-winning sacrifice fly.

The young backstop carried out his role effectively, with his flyball to center plating Yoshi Tsutsugo with the only run of the night. Perez is still seeing very sporadic action -- he has only two starts on the season -- but he's firmly locked in as Mike Zunino's primary backup behind the dish.

Maldonado isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Athletics.

Maldonado drew walks in each of the past four contests, but he'll take a seat after Saturday's 13-inning loss. Dustin Garneau will start behind the dish and bat ninth.
