Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed after Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Tigers that Heineman will see the majority of the playing time at catcher while Alejandro Kirk (concussion) is on the 7-day injured list, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

After Kirk sustained the concussion Saturday before landing on the shelf a day later, Heineman drew the start Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a double. The journeyman backstop has seen limited starts behind Kirk this season, but he's been productive when called upon, slashing .326/.389/.495 with three home runs and two steals in 106 plate appearances. Until Kirk returns, Heineman could be worthy of a short-term pickup in AL-only leagues and mixed leagues that start two catchers.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Angels.

Raleigh ended Angels starter Kyle Hendricks' outing with a leadoff blast in the seventh inning, but that was the Mariners' lone run. It looks like Raleigh's power is heating up again -- he's homered three times over his last five games, though all three have been solo shots. He went 5-for-18 over this four-game series versus the Angels. The catcher is up to a .986 OPS, 41 homers and 86 RBI through 103 contests this season as he continues to aim for historic numbers.

Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win at Houston.

The 27-year-old capped a successful weekend series against the Astros by launching a 378-foot solo shot off starter Colton Gordon in the first. This marks the third consecutive contest Langeliers has gone deep, as he wraps the four-game sweep with a .375 average (6-for-16), three homers, five RBI and five runs scored. Through 310 total plate appearances, the Athletics backstop is slashing .252/.306/.486 with 17 long balls, four steals, 42 RBI and 37 runs scored across 76 games.

Dingler went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.

After getting a breather Saturday, Dingler returned for Sunday's series finale and tallied his third multi-hit performance over his last six games. The Detroit catcher slashed just .167/.195/.310 in 27 regular-season games last year, but he's been much improved in 2025, compiling a .272/.314/.419 slash line through 79 contests. Dingler's strong play has allowed him to seize the starting role behind the plate, with Jake Rogers serving as the clear backup for the Tigers.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the dish while O'Hoppe rests after starting at catcher in both of the previous two contests. O'Hoppe has been wielding a hot bat coming out of the All-Star break, going 10-for-25 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two additional runs through his first seven games.

Higashioka (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Higashioka will be on the bench for a fourth consecutive game while he tends to what manager Bruce Bochy has called "half of a Grade 1" right hamstring strain, according to MLB.com. Jonah Heim will once again get the nod behind the plate, though Bochy expressed optimism that Higashioka will be able to pinch hit Sunday, if needed, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Maldonado and Elias Diaz have alternated starts behind the plate over the last six games. Neither backstop has been able to get much going offensively this season, with Maldonado producing a .560 OPS in 157 plate appearances and Diaz generating a .576 OPS over 218 plate appearances.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Diaz will get a breather after starting behind the plate the previous two nights. Victor Caratini will handle catching duties Sunday.

Haase will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

William Contreras will stick in the lineup at designated hitter in a rare day off from catching, allowing Haase to enter the starting nine for just the 16th time all season. Haase carries a .224/.278/.358 slash line into Sunday's contest.

Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Fermin had started three of the Royals' previous four games, but he'll get a breather while Salvador Perez covers first base and Luke Maile gets a turn behind the plate. Though the Royals recently bolstered their lineup with the acquisition of Randal Grichuk, the absence of Jac Caglianone (hamstring) should allow Fermin's playing time to remain relatively stable while Perez continues to see more starts at first base or designated hitter rather than catcher.
