Rogers will hand the catching duties off to Eric Haase after delivering an RBI single during Game 1 of the twin bill.

Hedges is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Detroit.

Moreno was placed on the injured list at Double-A New Hampshire on Wednesday due to to a minor thumb fracture, Sam Dykstra of MLBPipeline reports.

Per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, Moreno suffered the injury when he was hit on the thumb by a pitch, and he's expected to miss multiple weeks. Moreno seemed to be nearing a promotion to Triple-A Buffalo with an outside chance of making it to the big leagues in September, but the injury will certainly make reaching both of those milestones a far more difficult task. The catcher has slashed an outstanding .373/.441/.651 with eight homers and 46 RBI across 145 plate appearances with New Hampshire this season.

Stassi is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Yankees, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Stassi will get a breather after catching the first two games of the series in the Bronx. Kurt Suzuki will catch Shohei Ohtani and bat seventh Wednesday.

Trevino (forearm) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Athletics.

Trevino was forced to sit during Tuesday's win after he suffered a forearm contusion while slipping in the bathroom. He'll remain out of the starting lineup Wednesday as Jonah Heim works behind the plate once again. Trevino can remain considered day-to-day for the time being.

McGuire is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners.

McGuire started the past five games and will receive a day off after going 7-for-18 with two walks and five runs. Riley Adams will take over behind the plate for the Blue Jays.

Jackson (hamstring/finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Jackson was on a rehab assignment earlier in the month while recovering from a left hamstring strain, but he suffered an injury to his pinkie finger that forced him to pause his activities. The catcher was transferred to the 60-day IL and isn't eligible to return until this weekend, but he'll resume his rehab assignment Wednesday and could be back with the major-league club in the near future.

Jeffers isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox.

Jeffers had started each of the last three games, and he went 0-for-9 with two walks and four strikeouts during that time. Ben Rortvedt will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Leon will catch for starting pitcher Jordan Holloway in Wednesday's game at Philadelphia, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Leon will crack the starting nine for only the second time in 12 games. Jorge Alfaro is locked in as the Marlins' clear top catcher, and opportunities will likely remain few and far between for Leon while Alfaro is healthy.

Stubbs was recalled by the Astros on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Stubbs spent a week with Triple-A Sugar Land, but he'll rejoin the Astros after Martin Maldonado was placed on the bereavement list Wednesday. Jason Castro is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Wednesday's series finale against Baltimore, and he'll likely serve as the primary backstop in Maldonado's absence.
