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.

Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Jose Trevino will receive the nod at catcher while Stephenson rests for the series finale. Stephenson went 3-for-11 with two doubles, one RBI and one run while starting behind the plate in the Reds' previous three games.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Alvarez will receive a routine day off after he had started at catcher the previous three games. Luis Torrens will step in for Alvarez behind the dish in Sunday's series finale.

Rushing is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Rushing will rest up for Sunday's afternoon game after he had started behind the plate in each of the previous three games. Eliezer Alfonzo will handle catching duties for the Dodgers.

Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Davis will receive a breather for the afternoon contest after starting the first two games of the series. Shawn Ross will pick up his first MLB start at catcher Sunday while Davis rests.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Ruiz will take a seat for the afternoon game after he was behind the plate for all nine innings of Saturday's 5-3 win. Harry Ford will draw the start at catcher in the series finale.

Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Wong will take a seat for the series finale after he went 1-for-6 with four strikeouts Friday and Saturday. Carlos Narvaez will get the nod at catcher Sunday.
