Haase is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

After Jake Rogers got the start behind the plate Saturday, Haase will take over Sunday. Haase did appear as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning in the last contest. He's batting just .221 this season and only .188 in the month, making him a fairly uninspiring fantasy asset at the moment.

Jansen is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus Texas.

Jansen earns a day of rest for the series finale Sunday after homering in the loss to the Rangers on Saturday. Alejandro Kirk will get the start behind the plate and hit fifth while Spencer Horwitz hits seventh and lines up as the designated hitter.

Baltimore placed McCann on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left ankle sprain.

McCann was considered day-to-day with the ankle injury he suffered while sliding into first base, but the Orioles will have the backstop out for at least 10 days instead of playing shorthanded. Jose Godoy had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk in the corresponding move.

Baltimore selected Godoy's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

Godoy takes the roster spot of James McCann, as McCann was placed on the injured list prior to Sunday's game versus the Cubs with a left ankle sprain. Acquired from the Yankees in a trade at the beginning of June, Godoy will be the backup backstop to Adley Rutschman while he's on the major-league roster.

Rogers is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Rogers has a .961 OPS across 25 at-bats in June and will take a seat Sunday after starting three of the previous four games. Eric Haase will work behind the plate in the series finale versus the Twins.

Contreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Contreras started the first two games in New York but will take a seat for the finale after going 2-for-7 with a solo home run. Andrew Knizner will step in behind the plate and bat eighth.

Heim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over Toronto.

Heim hit the second of back-to-back home runs in the second inning, and his run was the game-winning score. The young catcher burnished his All-Star resume with his eighth home run and 48th RBI. MLB.com released the All-Star Ballot standings last week, and Heim was second among catchers behind the Orioles' Adley Rutschman.

Gomes is not in the lineup for Sunday's tilt versus the Orioles, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Gomes went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in the 3-2 win over Baltimore on Saturday, but he'll take a seat for the series finale. Miguel Amaya will handle backstop duties and hit eighth.

Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

The 28-year-old had a month-long stint in the majors earlier this year and went 2-for-16 in six games. Tromp will rejoin the club Sunday as catching depth ahead of the series finale against the Rockies since Sean Murphy is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Murphy was diagnosed with inflammation in his right hamstring Sunday and is expected to be held out of the lineup for at least the next couple days, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old was removed from Saturday's win over the Rockies due to hamstring tightness, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury and may not require a trip to the injured list. Travis d'Arnaud should step in as the club's primary backstop as Murphy continues to be evaluated over the next few days. Chadwick Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett for catching depth ahead of Sunday's series finale versus Colorado.
