Giants catcher Hector Sanchez said Wednesday that he'll be re-evaluated by a doctor in three weeks, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Sanchez will join the team for home games and continue exercising as he continues to recover from multiple concussions. With a re-evaluation unlikely until mid-September, it's becoming less and less likely he'll be back before the end of the regular season.

Indians manager Terry Francona indicated Tuesday that catcher Yan Gomes (concussion) is on track to come off the 7-day disabled list Friday, which is the first day he is eligible to return.

Gomes was able to go through sprint drills prior to Tuesday's game against the White Sox, according to The Plain Dealer.

"Yan is having a really good day," Francona said Tuesday. "His eyes look a lot clearer. I don't want to be unfair to him, but I'd surprised if he's not raring to go by Friday and Friday is his day (to be activated). Unless he has a setback, he should be ready Friday."

Giants catcher Hector Sanchez will be re-evaluated Tuesday, according to MLB.com.

Sanchez has been sidelined since July 25 due to a concussion. He was able to start up a rehab assignment, but suffered a second concussion during the stint. The club will have a better idea of Sanchez's timetable once he is evaluated Tuesday. 

Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal hit a three-run homer and provided plenty of support for his team in a 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Grandal hit a sacrifice fly in the opening frame and took Chase Anderson deep for a three-run blast in the fifth. He finished 1 for 3 with a walk, a run scored and four RBI. He owns a .204/.302/.376 slash line with 11 homers and 32 RBI over 274 at-bats.

Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud left the yard Sunday afternoon against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

D'Arnaud launched a solo home run off Kevin Correia in the second inning. He finished 2 for 5 with a run scored and an RBI. He owns a .228/.292/.396 slash line with 12 homers and 32 RBI over 303 at-bats.

Indians catcher Yan Gomes slowed his baseball activity Sunday after still experiencing concussion symptoms Saturday, MLB.com reports.

"I don't think that it'll be more than [seven days], but there's phases," manager Terry Francona said Sunday. "They ramp up progressively. I think there's three or four steps, and each one you have to pass. When you pass one, you go on to the next one. How fast, it just depends on how you feel."

Gomes won't be rushed back to action as he recovers from his injury. He has hit .284/.324/.477 with 17 home runs and 53 RBI in 384 at-bats.

Royals catcher Salvador Perez was not in the team's starting lineup Saturday against the Rangers.

Perez is coming off a knee injury, but his absence is not related to the issue. Instead, manager Ned Yost said he wants to keep Perez out of the Texas heat. It should be viewed as a normal day off for Perez. 

Royals catcher Salvador Perez is set to sit Saturday night against the Rangers. Erik Kratz will do the crouching behind the plate instead.

Perez has been dealing with a knee issue, but Ned Yost said he's fine and that his absence is motivated by a desire to keep him out of the Texas heat.

Indians catcher Yan Gomes has been placed on the 7-day concussion disabled list.

Gomes left Thursday's game after taking a deflected ball off his mask. He missed Friday and Saturday due to the injury. Gomes is hitting .284/.324/.477 over 384 at-bats. 

Indians hot-hitting catcher Yan Gomes remains sidelined Saturday against Houston after sustaining a mild concussion Thursday.

Gomes owns a stat line of .284/.324/.477 with 17 home runs and 53 RBI.
