Bart was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds due to left hamstring discomfort.

Bart collected an RBI with a groundout during the opening frame Sunday, but he tweaked his hamstring while attempting to beat the throw. The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

The veteran backstop started the previous five contests and will sit for Sunday's afternoon tilt after a night game Saturday. Realmuto has a .348/.400/.652 slash line with five doubles, three homers, 14 RBI and eight runs in his past 46 at-bats. Garrett Stubbs will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Kolby Allard.

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

He'll get a breather for the series finale after catching in three of the Tigers' last four games. Dillon Dingler gets the nod behind the plate Sunday.

Jeffers (hand) is starting behind the plate and batting fifth Sunday against the Cardinals.

The 27-year-old wasn't in the lineup Saturday after he exited Friday's contest due to hand soreness, but X-rays came back negative and his absence will be limited to one game. Jeffers has carried a hot bat of late and has gone 10-for-28 with four homers over his past nine games.

Amaya is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Amaya will get a breather for the matinee contest after starting each of the past three games behind the plate. Christian Bethancourt will handle the catching duties for the Cubs in the series finale in Miami.

Hedges will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

With top backstop Bo Naylor getting the afternoon off with a lefty (Cody Bradford) on the mound for the Rangers, Hedges will get the nod behind the dish. Hedges, who is hitting .152 over 105 at-bats this season, will likely continue to see limited usage down the stretch while Naylor is healthy.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

With the Guardians concluding their series against the Rangers with a day game and with Texas sending a lefty (Cody Bradford) to the bump, the lefty-hitting Naylor will get the afternoon off. Austin Hedges will check in for Naylor behind the plate.

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

Kelly appeared to have worked his way into a timeshare at catcher with Jonah Heim earlier this month while the latter was slumping, but the playing time behind the dish seems to be tilting back in Heim's favor. Heim will pick up his third start at catcher in four games while Kelly returns to the bench after he had caught in Saturday's 13-5 loss.

The Cardinals recalled Herrera from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 24-year-old will join the Cardinals as Willson Contreras heads to the injured list due to a fractured finger. Herrera should split playing time behind the plate with Pedro Pages while Contreras is sidelined.

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

For the second time in the series, Wells will give way to platoon mate Jose Trevino behind the dish while southpaw Austin Gomber toes the rubber for the Rockies. Wells should continue to see the bulk of the starts at catcher when the Yankees face right-handed pitching.
