Raleigh is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Mitch Garver will handle catching duties and Julio Rodriguez will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Raleigh gets his first day off since he returned from the injured list June 16. The 2025 All-Star hasn't shown much sign of breaking out his season-long slumber at the plate over the last five-plus weeks following his activation, slashing just .170/.304/.277 with a 32.6 percent strikeout during that stretch.

Cavanaugh went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

Cavanaugh hit a leadoff single in the third inning and added another base hit in the seventh. Additionally, he drew a walk in the ninth before coming around to score San Francisco's final run. The 24-year-old catcher has recorded at least one plate appearance in four straight games and continues to split playing time with Daniel Susac. Cavanaugh is now slashing .262/.392/.262 with three runs scored and two RBI across 53 plate appearances this season.

Moreno went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and two RBI in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Nationals.

Moreno extended an RBI streak to five games, during which he's gone 9-for-19 (.474) with three doubles, a home run and eight RBI. The catcher has a .315/.396/.458 slash line with seven home runs, 41 RBI, four steals and 43 runs scored over 79 games.

Jeffers went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Sunday's 11-8 win over the Athletics.

Jeffers picked up his first multi-hit effort since he returned from a fractured hamate bone in his left hand. He has gone 10-for-35 (.286) over nine contests since his return, picking up where he left off before the injury. The catcher is batting .293 with a .930 OPS, nine home runs, 35 RBI, 29 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 46 games on the year.

Janek (hamstring) has slashed .368/.400/.737 with two home runs, three stolen bases, four RBI and four runs in five games for Double-A Corpus Christi since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 16.

Janek was on the shelf for about a month and a half due to the hamstring injury before being cleared to rejoin Corpus Christi coming out of the All-Star break. The 23-year-old backstop has produced a .183/.224/.323 slash line over 24 games at Double-A this season.

Dingler went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.

After getting a day off Saturday, Dingler picked up where he left off with another good performance Sunday. The catcher has now tallied 68 RBI across 97 games this season, and he's also sporting a strong .874 OPS to go along with 22 home runs. Dingler has been one of the best backstops in the majors from a fantasy perspective, and he's showing no signs of slowing down.

Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Despite launching a career-long 430-foot home run in Saturday's 3-1 win, the left-handed-hitting Wells will ride the pine Sunday with the Phillies trotting out left-hander Cristopher Sanchez for the series finale. Ali Sanchez will start behind the plate and bat ninth for the Yankees.

Susac is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

After starting in the Giants' previous two contests, Susac will head to the bench for the series finale while Drew Cavanaugh gets the nod behind the plate. Susac and Cavanaugh are likely to continue sharing most of the playing time at catcher, with Jesus Rodriguez seeing occasional reps as a third option at the position.

Cavanaugh (illness) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Angels.

Daniel Susac started behind the plate in the first two contests of the series, after Cavanaugh was scratched ahead of Friday's 7-6 win due to an illness. Cavanaugh felt well enough to make a pinch-hitting appearance in Saturday's 9-2 win, and he'll now draw back into the starting nine while Susac rests for the series finale.

Pages (illness) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Pages was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Angels after coming down with a stomach virus, but he's moved past the ailment and will pick up his first start since July 18. The Cardinals aren't expected to have more than one or two starts per week available for Pages while Jimmy Crooks and Ivan Herrera are both healthy.
