Travis d'Arnaud C | LAA
Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Sitting Sunday
D'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Mets.
D'Arnaud will get a breather Sunday after starting in each of the last four games. He's gone 4-for-18 in May but has registered a hit in each of his last three contests. Chadwick Tromp will start behind the plate and bat ninth against Mets right-hander Luis Severino.

Tyler Stephenson C | CIN
Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Taking seat Sunday
Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Giants.

Bo Naylor C | MIL
Guardians' Bo Naylor: Getting day off
Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Alex Jackson C | MIN
Rays' Alex Jackson: Returning to bench Sunday
Jackson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Jackson had started behind the plate in each of the past three games, but he struck out in all six of his at-bats during that stretch while drawing a walk in his lone other plate appearance. One of his starts came against a lefty and another came versus a righty (Chris Flexen) with reverse splits, so the right-handed-hitting Jackson still looks to be in the short side of a platoon at catcher with the lefty-hitting Ben Rortvedt, who rejoins the lineup Sunday.

Austin Wells C | NYY
Yankees' Austin Wells: Heading to bench Sunday
Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
With lefty Tyler Alexander on the hill for the Rays, the lefty-hitting Wells will exit the lineup for the series finale. Jose Trevino will spell Wells behind the plate.

Nick Fortes C | TB
Marlins' Nick Fortes: Gives way to Bethancourt on Sunday
Fortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
The timeshare behind the plate continues for the Marlins, as neither Fortes nor Christian Bethancourt has performed well enough to gain separation from one another in the job battle. The two have now alternated turns behind the plate over the past eight games, with Bethancourt getting the nod Sunday.

Yasmani Grandal C | PIT
Pirates' Yasmani Grandal: Resting Sunday
Grandal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Grandal had started at catcher both of the past two days, so he's likely just sitting out Sunday for maintenance purposes as the Pirates and Cubs wrap up their series with an afternoon game. Joey Bart will replace Grandal behind the dish.
