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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jeffers went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 victory over the Rays.

Jeffers was hitting just .063 (2-for-32) in his previous 11 games before Saturday. He remains the Twins' top option behind the plate, but Jeffers could fall into more of a timeshare with Christian Vazquez if he's unable to build on the three-hit performance.

Stallings will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

After Gary Sanchez (knee) became the fourth Orioles catcher to go on the injured list Sunday, Stallings looks poised to serve as Baltimore's No. 1 backstop until one of Sanchez, Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) or Chadwick Tromp (back) is activated. Since getting added to the Baltimore roster Tuesday, Stallings has gone 1-for-6 with a double, a walk and two RBI in three contests.

The Orioles acquired Jackson from the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for $250,000 in international signing bonus pool money, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Baltimore selected Jackson's contract from Triple-A Norfolk, and he'll be available for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

With the Orioles' catching depth taking another hit after Gary Sanchez sprained his knee Saturday, Jackson was brought in to provide a much-needed healthy body behind the plate. The 29-year-old Jackson owns a .132/.224/.232 slash line in 340 plate appearances across parts of five seasons in the big leagues, and in 44 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2025, he's batted .226 with 10 home runs and a 10.4 percent walk rate. He'll temporarily settle in as Baltimore's No. 2 catcher behind Jacob Stallings, though Jackson will likely lose his spot on the 40-man roster once one of Sanchez, Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) or Chadwick Tromp (back) returns from the IL.

The Orioles placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a sprained right knee.

Sanchez was removed from Saturday's game with right knee pain and was sent for an MRI, which revealed a sprain. The severity of the injury isn't yet known but Sanchez will be out through at least the All-Star break, becoming the fourth Orioles catcher to hit the injured list along with Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back). In desperate need of depth behind the plate, the Orioles acquired Alex Jackson from the Yankees on Sunday and added him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster. Jacob Stallings and Jackson will serve as the Orioles' catching tandem until the team gets at least one of the injured backstops back from the IL.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Dodgers.

Diaz led off the fourth inning with a home run, his 11th long ball of the season and fourth in his last 22 starts. After a slow start to the year, he has a .286/.309/.462 line in the last month.
