Narvaez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Narvaez will head to the bench for maintenance purposes with the Mariners and Brewers concluding their series with a day game after a night game. Tom Murphy will handle the catching duties for Seattle and bat sixth.

Garver is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rays, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Garver went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rays, but he'll give way to Jason Castro behind the dish Wednesday as the Twins ease him back into action after he missed three games over the weekend due to a heel injury.

Bemboom (knee) caught five innings and went 0-for-3 in his first rehab game Wednesday with High-A Charlotte.

Bemboom was expected to initiate a rehab assignment last weekend before the Rays instead opted to give him a few extra days to rest up. After recently shifting from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL, Bemboom won't be eligible for reinstatement until mid-July, so he'll likely remain on the rehab assignment through the All-Star break.

Gallagher will start at catcher and bat eighth Wednesday against the Indians.

Gallagher remains the clear No. 2 backstop behind Martin Maldonado and will be picking up just his seventh start of June. Unsurprisingly, Gallagher's spotty playing time hasn't helped his cause at the plate, as he'll enter the series finale with a lowly .426 OPS across 84 plate appearances for the season.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Indians.

Backup catcher Cam Gallagher will receive a turn behind the plate in the series finale while Maldonado picks up a routine breather. Maldonado started the first two games of the series, going 3-for-7 with a pair of doubles in those contests to lift his season average to .220.

Vazquez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Vazquez will take a seat after receiving the last three starts behind the plate for Boston. No. 2 backstop Sandy Leon will check into the lineup in the series finale, working in a battery with Chris Sale.

Garver went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, three RBI and two runs in a 9-4 victory against the Rays on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old hadn't played since leaving Thursday's contest because of a sore left heel, but he looked very good Tuesday. Garver came into the night batting .207 (6-for-29) in the previous seven games, so it's possible the rest may have even done him some good mentally. Garver is batting .305 with 12 home runs, 31 RBI and 29 runs in 131 at-bats this season.

McCann is starting at designated hitter and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Red Sox, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

He has continued to swing a hot bat, with three home runs and an .875 OPS in June and back-to-back two-hit games on his ledger. Even with Zack Collins getting the start at catcher, McCann is on too much of a heater to send to the pine.

McCann is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Red Sox, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

He has continued to swing a hot bat, with three home runs and an .875 OPS in June and back-to-back two-hit games on his ledger. Zack Collins starts behind the dish, hitting ninth.

Garver (heel) is back in the lineup Tuesday against Tampa Bay, catching and batting second.

Garver hadn't started a game since leaving Thursday's contest with a sore left heel, though he did appear once off the bench. He owns a .746 OPS in the month of June, in line with his numbers from last season but no match for the incredible 1.164 OPS he recorded through the end of May.
