Sanchez (foot) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday.

Sanchez was lifted early from Friday's game against the Dodgers with a right foot contusion after fouling a ball off his foot. Though X-rays came back negative, the backstop will still require a trip to the disabled list in order to allow his foot ample time to heal. Luis Torrens will act as the team's primary reserve catcher in Sanchez's absence.

Mesoraco is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Reds continue to give Mesoraco plenty of time off as he eases himself back into action following his return from injury in late April. Fellow backstop Tucker Barnhart will draw the start Sunday.

Rupp is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Stephen Gross of The Morning Call reports.

Despite his collection of five hits (including two home runs) over his past three contests, Rupp will head to the bench Sunday in favor of backup catcher Andrew Knapp. The starter should be back in the lineup for the Phillies' next game Tuesday against the Mariners.

Perez (forearm) is in the starting lineup Sunday against the Indians, Joel Goldberg of FOX Sports Kansas City reports.

Perez left Saturday's game in the eighth inning after taking a foul ball off his left forearm, but the heavily used backstop won't miss any time as a result. He'll bat fifth and start behind the plate for the fifth straight game.

Realmuto is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

After starting the Marlins' past six games, Realmuto will head to the bench Sunday for what appears to be a standard day of rest. Fellow backstop A.J. Ellis will take over starting catching duties in his absence. Expect Realmuto to be back in the lineup Monday against the Cardinals.

Narvaez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

Narvaez was behind the plate for the first two games of the series, but he'll take a seat in favor of Geovany Soto for Sunday afternoon's finale.

Rupp went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Nationals.

Rupp launched his third homer of the year while driving in the only two runs the Phillies were able to score in a losing effort. He's now left the yard in two of his last three games, and his .247/.349/.466 slash line makes him a solid fantasy option at catcher.

Perez left Saturday's game after taking a foul ball off his left forearm, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio Kansas City reports.

The incident occurred in the eighth inning, and Drew Butera replaced Perez behind the plate in the ninth. Perez went 1-for-3 prior to exiting the game. It would make sense if the Royals scheduled an X-ray to determine the full extent of the injury.

Grandal is not in the lineup Saturday against the Padres, David Vassegh of 570 LA Sports reports.

Grandal has collected hits in back-to-back games, but he'll head to the bench as Austin Barnes gets the start behind the dish. He's slashing just .214/.302/.369 with three homers through 26 games this season.

Sanchez (foot) was removed from Friday's loss to the Dodgers after taking a foul tip off of his foot. The injury is being reported as a foot contusion, Dennis Lin of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

X-rays came back negative on the veteran catcher, but he was seen on crutches after the game and will be re-evaluated Saturday. Sanchez has been backing up Austin Hedges behind the dish, and with a third catcher on the roster, he could avoid a trip to the disabled list if the injury is considered minor.
