Travis d'Arnaud C | LAA
Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Dealing with foot issue
Manager Kurt Suzuki said Wednesday that d'Arnaud is dealing with pain in his foot, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
D'Arnaud came out of Wednesday's game against the White Sox in the fifth inning after attempting to leg out an infield single. He reportedly had trouble putting weight on his foot after exiting, so the Angels will send him in for further testing. More will be known about the severity of his injury once the results come back, but Sebastian Rivero could be in line to make a start or two behind home plate once the Angels begin their weekend series in Toronto.

Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Not starting Wednesday
Stephenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Stephenson appears to be receiving a routine breather after he started behind the plate in five of the Reds' previous six games. Jose Trevino will get the nod at catcher Wednesday.

Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Taking seat Wednesday
Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
He'll receive the night off while Minnesota goes with Victor Caratini behind the dish. Jeffers has been an offensive tear of late, slashing .324/.400/.529 with two home runs, one stolen base, nine RBI and seven runs over his last nine starts.

Giants' Daniel Susac: Cleared for rehab assignment
Susac (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Susac has missed the last two weeks of action with right elbow neuritis, but he's upped his workouts recently and is ready to test things out in a game setting. The rookie catcher had worked his way into a timeshare with Patrick Bailey before getting injured, and with Bailey still struggling, Susac should play plenty once he's activated.

Edgar Quero C | CHW
White Sox's Edgar Quero: Out of lineup Wednesday
Quero is on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
After going 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts Tuesday, Quero will head to the bench once again for the White Sox. Drew Romo will start his third game in the past four days behind the plate. The 23-year-old Quero opened the campaign as Chicago's primary backstop with Kyle Teel (hamstring) on the injured list, but his struggles have opened the door for Romo.

White Sox's Drew Romo: Poaching work from Quero
Romo will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Slated to start for the fifth time in the White Sox's last six matchups with right-handed pitchers, Romo may have at least temporarily supplanted the struggling Edgar Quero as the team's No. 1 backstop. Since being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on April 25, Romo has made a splash at the back end of the Chicago lineup, going 3-for-14 with three home runs and a 6:3 BB:K over his first six games with the big club.
