  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Getting rest Sunday

    Teel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Teel will rest for Sunday's day game after he went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run while catching all nine innings of Saturday's 10-3 win. Edgar Quero will spell Teel behind the plate.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Receiving Sunday off

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties for Minnesota while Jeffers receives a breather after starting the previous two contests. After going 0-for-18 in his previous six games, Jeffers broke out of his slump Saturday with three base hits.

  • Danny Jansen C | MIL

    Rays' Danny Jansen: Getting Sunday off

    Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Jansen will receive a routine breather Sunday after he had started behind the plate in the first two games of the series. Matt Thaiss will replace Jansen as the Rays' starting catcher.

  • Liam Hicks C | MIA

    Marlins' Liam Hicks: Taking seat Sunday

    Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Hicks will sit for the second time in the past three games, even though the Marlins have faced a right-handed starter in all three contests. The 26-year-old has a .708 OPS with a 5:6 BB:K in his past 10 games and should continue to see at least semi-regular starts, though his grip on a strong-side platoon role appears to be slipping.

  • Luis Torrens DH | NYM

    Mets' Luis Torrens: Getting afternoon off

    Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Torrens will receive a breather after starting each of the previous three contests. Hayden Senger will handle catching duties Sunday.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Resting against southpaw

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    The Guardians are going with a righty-heavy lineup to counter Tarik Skubal, so Naylor will join Kyle Manzardo, Nolan Jones and Daniel Schneemann on the bench. Austin Hedges will fill in behind the plate.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Losing out on playing time

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    With top backstop Tyler Stephenson seeing less time at designated hitter of late and most of his starts behind the dish, Trevino has begun to see his playing time dip. The veteran has also gone 1-for-14 with four strikeouts over his last four starts.

  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Resting up Sunday

    Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Ruiz will get a breather after he returned from the 7-day injured list Friday and started behind the plate in the first two games of the series with Boston, going 2-for-8 with an RBI. Riley Adams will step in as the Nationals' catcher Sunday.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Goes deep Saturday

    Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mets on Saturday.

    Wells plated New York's second run of the game with a solo shot to right field in the third inning. The long ball snapped a 15-game homerless stretch by the backstop and increased his total to 12 home runs on the season -- tied for fourth among big-league catchers. Wells was also looked at by a trainer early in the game after taking a foul tip off his mask, but he remained in the contest and is in the lineup again Sunday, batting eighth and starting behind the plate.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Getting Sunday off

    Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    He'll be receiving a routine day off after starting behind the dish in both of the Red Sox's first two games in Washington. Connor Wong will handle catching duties in the series finale.
