Rushing is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the Athletics.

Despite recording three hits and two RBI in his first two starts of the series against the A's, Rushing will ride the bench Wednesday. Chuckie Robinson will take over behind the plate and bat ninth for the Dodgers.

Mack is out of the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the Rockies.

Mack will sit out of Wednesday's game with Colorado trotting out left-hander Kyle Freeland. Brian Navarreto will take over behind the plate and bat eighth for Miami.

Rodriguez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Phillies.

Rodriguez started the first two games of the series (one at catcher, one at first base) but will get a breather in Thursday's tilt. Henry Davis will be behind the dish and bat ninth for the Pirates.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Kelly will rest for the day game after he caught all nine innings of the Cubs' 9-7 win Tuesday night. Miguel Amaya will handle catching duties in Wednesday's contest.

Fermin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Fermin will rest for Wednesday's matinee game after he started at catcher in the first two contests of the series. Rodolfo Duran will step in behind the dish Wednesday and will bat eighth.

Jensen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Rays.

Jensen jumped on the first pitch he saw from the leadoff spot, sending it over the right-field fence to give the Royals an early 1-0 lead. The homer extended the catcher's hitting streak to 20 games, the longest active streak in the majors. During the streak, the 22-year-old is slashing .346/.382/.630 with five homers, eight doubles, 18 RBI and 16 runs scored. Overall, Jensen is hitting .251/.316/.446 with 12 homers, 17 doubles, 46 RBI, 40 runs scored and one stolen base across 79 contests this season.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Narvaez will receive the afternoon off after he started behind the plate both of the previous two nights. Connor Wong will get the nod at catcher Wednesday, but Narvaez looks to be the Red Sox's new top option at the position after the struggling Mickey Gasper was recently demoted to Triple-A Worcester.

Basallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles have been giving the left-handed-hitting Basallo more exposure to same-handed pitching in recent weeks, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while southpaw Noah Schultz starts for the White Sox. With Basallo taking a seat, Adley Rutschman will handle catching duties and Pete Alonso will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

The Nationals will give Ruiz a rest for the matinee contest after he started behind the plate in each of the last three games. Drew Millas will receive the nod at catcher and form a battery with starting pitcher Andrew Alvarez.

The Orioles designated Keegan for assignment Wednesday.

Keegan was just claimed off waivers from the Rays last week and is now set to go through the waivers process again. The catcher has hit a disappointing .191/.327/.303 at the Triple-A level this season.
