Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey will get a breather after he had started behind the dish in each of the Giants' last four games. Sam Huff will handle catching duties Sunday.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Since being activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Rogers has operated as the Tigers' clear No. 2 catcher. He's started just two of the Tigers' last six games, with Dillon Dingler behind the dish for the other four games.

Kelly went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.

Kelly entered the contest in the fifth inning for Miguel Amaya, who suffered an oblique strain on a throw to second base. Amaya will be headed to the injured list, which paves the way for Kelly to see even more playing time. He's sporting a stellar 1.037 OPS to go along with nine home runs in 32 games.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Naylor has been hitting a little better recently, going 6-for-22 (.273) with a pair of homers over his last seven games. He got the Guardians on the board in the third inning Saturday and added a sacrifice fly in the 10th that stood as the decisive run. The 25-year-old catcher is now at a .200/.295/.433 slash line with seven homers, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base across 39 contests. Naylor remains Cleveland's primary catcher over Austin Hedges.

Garver went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Houston.

It was just Garver's fourth start at catcher in 16 appearances during the month of May, as he's yet to carve out a steady role in the field this season. The veteran backstop has operated mostly as a pinch hitter in 2025, batting .264 (14-for-63) with one homer, one double, eight RBI and seven runs scored over his last 22 games. Cal Raleigh has played each of Seattle's first 51 games, so Garver doesn't have a clear pathway to playing time even with Luke Raley (oblique) on the injured list.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said after Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Reds that Amaya will be placed on the 10-day injured list due to left oblique strain, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

He was removed in the fifth inning of Saturday's game after suffering the injury while throwing to second base on an Elly De La Cruz steal attempt. Amaya will return to Chicago to undergo further testing and determine the severity of the strain, but the 26-year-old backstop could be facing a lengthy stint on the IL. Moises Ballesteros will likely be recalled from Triple-A Iowa to serve as the backup catcher behind Carson Kelly while Amaya is recovering from his injury.

The Marlins transferred Brantly (lat) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Brantly landed on the injured list April 21 with a strained right lat, and moving to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until at least late June. He'll concede his spot on the 40-man roster to Janson Junk, who was selected to the active roster Saturday.

Maile cleared outright waivers and accepted his assignment to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

Maile was DFA'd by the Royals this past Monday, but he'll remain in the organization after clearing waivers. He is slashing .286/.434/.381 with one steal, one homer and 10 RBI across 53 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. Maile made three major-league appearances for Kansas City in May, going 3-for-8 with a solo home run and an additional run across those outings.

Narvaez is not in Boston's starting lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a double in the Red Sox's 6-5 win in Game 1. Connor Wong will step behind home plate and bat eighth in Saturday's nightcap.

Amaya was removed from Saturday's game against the Reds due to a left oblique strain, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Amaya had to come out of the game after throwing to second base on an Elly De La Cruz steal attempt. The 26-year-old backstop has been splitting time fairly evenly behind the plate with Carson Kelly, though the latter could take on an everyday role if Amaya's injury forces him onto the injured list.
