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.

Collins will start at catcher Tuesday against the Red Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

This will be Collins' second big-league start at catcher and third overall for the White Sox. He's being tasked with guiding the team through a bullpen game that begins with reliever Carson Fulmer.

Jansen is not starting Monday against the Yankees.

Jansen and Luke Maile have alternated starts behind the plate over the last six games. Maile will take his turn Monday.

D'Arnaud went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over Oakland.

In three appearances as the leadoff batter in the last week, d'Arnaud has turned in a pair of 2-for-5 outings and an 0-for-4 performance. In 26 games with the Rays, the 30-year-old is batting .241 with four long balls and 16 RBI.

McCann went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Texas.

McCann has now collected three multi-hit games and four RBI since June 16. The 29-year-old's breakout campaign continues as his OPS is still a robust .895 across 204 plate appearances.

Garver (heel) remains on the bench for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Garver left Thursday's game with left heel soreness and hasn't started since. Jason Castro starts behind the plate in his absence.

Perez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Perez owns an excellent .306/.375/.714 slash line in the month of June. He'll sit in favor of Kevin Plawecki on Sunday.

Collins went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Texas.

Collins made his first MLB start as a catcher Saturday and made a couple of nice tag plays at the plate. While he's up with the White Sox as a replacement for Welington Castillo (oblique), he'll catch a couple of games per week while also seeing time at designated hitter and possibly first base.

McCann is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

After starting each of the past 12 games at catcher or designated hitter, McCann will get a well-deserved breather. Zack Collins will pick up his first career start behind the dish as a result, working in a battery with Odrisamer Despaigne.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

He'll just be getting a routine rest day while Austin Romine checks in behind the dish. Though Sanchez has frequently served as a designated hitter on days that he's not catching, his opportunities to stick in the lineup as a DH should dwindle after the acquisition of Edwin Encarnacion last weekend.
