Wynns went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 13-3 rout of the Astros.

The veteran is starting a couple times a week as Baltimore's No. 2 backstop behind Pedro Severino, and Wynns took advantage of his opportunity Tuesday. Despite the strong performance, the 30-year-old is slashing only .171/.209/.341 through 43 plate appearances on the year with two homers and seven RBI -- not surprising numbers for a player with a career .599 OPS in the majors.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-0 victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

The backstop crushed a 451-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth inning for his fourth homer of the season. Three of those long balls have come in his past eight games, including two in the past two days. The sudden power surge has helped Diaz get the majority of starts behind the dish of late, as fellow catcher Dom Nunez is hitting only .135 in June and hasn't homered since May 1.

Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, an additional RBI and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 11-5 win over the Angels.

The 28-year-old started the scoring with a solo shot during the opening frame, and he came around to score during the fourth inning after hitting an RBI double. Sanchez is hitting .288 with eight homers, seven doubles, 19 RBI and 14 runs through 23 games in June.

Amaya (undisclosed) is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Tennessee, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The specifics of the issue remain unclear, though the young catcher has been on the shelf since early June. Amaya was hitting .215/.406/.304 with one homer, four doubles, 13 RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases in 23 games for the Smokies prior to the injury.

McCann went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk Tuesday against Atlanta.

McCann provided the game-tying blast in the seventh inning, ending Charlie Morton's outing. It was McCann's seventh home run of the season and first since hitting four home runs in a seven-game span between May 29 and June 6. Overall, he has a .240/.300/.382 line with 16 runs and 28 RBI across 223 plate appearances.

Trevino will miss at least a couple days with a forearm contusion, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

He suffered the injury when he slipped in the bathroom Tuesday morning. It's unclear exactly how long Trevino will be sidelined, but John Hicks was recalled to be the backup catcher until Trevino is ready to play again.

Trevino is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Trevino will sit for the second straight game as Jonah Heim works behind the plate against his former club Tuesday. Heim and Trevino have seen a relatively even split in the catching duties over the past few weeks, and that could continue going forward.

Narvaez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Narvaez's off days typically come against lefties, but he'll get a rest here against righty Zach Davies. Manny Pina takes over behind the plate in his absence.

Rogers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Rogers sits after starting seven of the last nine games. Eric Haase will take over behind the plate in his absence.

Plawecki (hamstring) has been slow in his recovery from a strained left hamstring, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

There's been no report of a setback, but it remains unclear when Plawecki will be activated from the 10-day injured list. Until then, Connor Wong, who got his first MLB start Saturday, will handle backup catching duties for the Red Sox.
