  • Guardians' Austin Hedges: Steps out of lineup

    Hedges is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game at Colorado.

    Hedges started the past two games and will receive a breather Wednesday. Luke Maile will take over behind the dish for Cleveland.

  • Red Sox's Christian Vazquez: Not starting Wednesday

    Vazquez isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Vazquez drew the start in Tuesday's series opener against Oakland and went 1-for-4 with a run. He'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games while Kevin Plawecki starts behind the dish and bats eighth.

  • James McCann C | ARI

    Mets' James McCann: Beginning rehab assignment Thursday

    McCann (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Binghamton on Thursday, Tim Britton of The Athletic report.

    McCann has been sidelined for just over a month due to a broken wrist, but he's been cleared to return to game action in the minors. While the 32-year-old will likely require several rehab games given the length of his absence, he seems to be on track to return from the injured list sometime in late June.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Sits in favor of Contreras

    D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Washington.

    D'Arnaud will take a seat after catching both of Atlanta's last two games, allowing William Contreras to get a turn behind the dish. Though he still looks like Atlanta's No. 1 backstop, d'Arnaud will likely end up sitting two or three times per week while Contreras' potent bat has allowed him to earn playing time.

  • Blue Jays' Gabriel Moreno: Out of lineup Wednesday

    Moreno isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Moreno went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's loss to Baltimore but will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Alejandro Kirk is starting behind the plate while Raimel Tapia enters the lineup in right field.

  • Rays' Francisco Mejia: Takes seat Wednesday

    Mejia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    After catching in both of the Rays' past two games, Mejia will get a breather while Rene Pinto checks in behind the dish. With Mike Zunino still stuck on the 10-day injured list and not progressing as quickly as anticipated in his recovery from a left shoulder injury, Mejia looks like he could have a clear path to an extended run as Tampa Bay's No. 1 backstop.

  • Tomas Nido C | DET

    Mets' Tomas Nido: Retreats to bench

    Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Nido will get a much-needed breather after he went 2-for-17 with an RBI and a pair of runs while starting behind the plate in each of the past five games. Patrick Mazeika will get a start at catcher Wednesday, but Nido seems to have clearly established himself as the Mets' No. 1 backstop while James McCann (wrist) remains on the injured list.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: On bench Wednesday

    Trevino isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Trevino returned to the lineup Tuesday and went 0-for-3 during the series opener against Tampa Bay. He'll retreat to the bench against left-hander Shane McClanahan while Kyle Higashioka starts behind the plate and bats ninth.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Not starting Wednesday

    Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the Twins.

    Raleigh went 2-for-8 with a double and a strikeout over the last two games and will get a breather in Wednesday's series finale against the Twins. Luis Torrens is starting behind the plate and batting seventh.

  • Austin Wynns C | TEX

    Giants' Austin Wynns: Retreats to bench

    Wynns is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Wynns went 5-for-15 with a double and a walk while starting at either catcher or designated hitter in five of his first six games with the Giants. However, with No. 1 backstop Curt Casali behind the plate Wednesday after moving past a hamstring injury, Wynns' opportunities are likely to be limited moving forward.
