  • Jonah Heim C | ATH

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Out of lineup Wednesday

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

    Heim started in the last three games but went just 1-for-12 with a solo home run and four strikeouts. Sam Huff will start behind the plate and bat sixth.

  • White Sox's Reese McGuire: Gets third straight start

    McGuire will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    He'll be rewarded with his third start in a row after going 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 win. Yasmani Grandal is in a 1-for-24 slump at the plate over his last six games and will take a seat Wednesday, but he still looks to be entrenched as Chicago's No. 1 catcher.

  • White Sox's Yasmani Grandal: Takes seat Wednesday

    Grandal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Even though Grandal served as the White Sox's designated hitter the past two games rather than starting behind the plate, he'll still receive a maintenance day Wednesday. Grandal's move to the bench may also have something to do with his ongoing slump at the plate; over his last six games, he's gone 1-for-24 with 11 strikeouts and four walks.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Sitting Wednesday

    Rutschman is not starting in Wednesday's matchup against the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Rutschman will take a seat after starting four games in a row, going 2-for-14 with a double and a run in those contests. Robinson Chirinos will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in Wednesday's matchup.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Not in lineup Wednesday

    Trevino is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Angels.

    Trevino will head to the bench after going 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win. Kyle Higashioka will draw the start at catcher and bat eighth Wednesday.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Not starting Wednesday

    D'Arnaud isn't starting Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    D'Arnaud started in the last three games and went 3-for-13 with three strikeouts. William Contreras will start behind the dish and bat fifth.

  • Marlins' Jacob Stallings: Resting for afternoon game

    Stallings is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Rockies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Nick Fortes will be behind the plate for Game 1, catching for starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. Expect Stallings, who has gone hitless with seven strikeouts in 10 at-bats over his last three starts, to check back into the lineup for the nightcap.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Drives in three Tuesday

    Raleigh went 1-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a two-run single and a run in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

    The light-hitting backstop made plenty of noise out of the bottom of the order with his third multi-RBI effort of the season, all which have come from May 15 onward. His eventful night notwithstanding, Raleigh is still carrying an abysmal .136/.216/.333 slash line for the season, although five of his nine hits have gone for extra bases.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Athletics' Sean Murphy: Resting Wednesday

    Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Murphy will get a day off after starting six straight games, going 4-for-21 with a homer, two RBI and two runs in those contests. Christian Bethancourt will draw the start at catcher and bat sixth Wednesday.

  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Gets breather Wednesday

    Ruiz isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets.

    Ruiz started in the last two games and went 1-for-7 with a run and two walks. Riley Adams will start behind the dish and bat eighth Wednesday.
