Adams went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Tigers.

Adams' solo shot in the second extended Washington's lead to 4-0. He added a single his next time up and hit back-to-back doubles in his final two at-bats, marking the first four-hit game of his career. The 2017 third-round pick continues to see sporadic time as the backup catcher behind Keibert Ruiz, but Adams' offensive explosion Sunday may earn him a few more looks moving forward.

Vazquez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Angels, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Vazquez is 6-for-17 in his past four games but has just a .433 OPS in May, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Anaheim. Ryan Jeffers will work behind the plate and bat ninth.

Thaiss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Thaiss will take a seat for the second time in three games with Chad Wallach starting at catcher and hitting eighth against Minnesota on Sunday.

Nola is not in the starting lineup against the Red Sox on Sunday.

Nola continues to alternate catching duties and is hitting just .120 with a .361 OPS over his 25 at-bats in May. Brett Sullivan will be behind the plate for Sunday's finale against Boston and hit ninth.

Wong is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's finale against the Padres.

Wong will grab a seat on the bench after going 1-for-4 in each of the first two games against San Diego. Reese McGuire will handle backstop duties while hitting ninth.

Perez went 3-for-4 with a double and solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the White Sox.

Perez's solo shot in the first was the only scoring for Kansas City on Saturday. The veteran catcher added a single in the fourth and double in the sixth, marking his third multi-hit game this season. Perez remains one of the best offensive catchers in MLB during his age-33 season and is slashing .288/.330/.540 with 10 home runs and 26 RBI across 42 games (176 plate appearances).

Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters that Raleigh is currently out of the lineup while dealing with neck spasms, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Raleigh has been out of the lineup the last two games. Servais told reporters that he's unsure if the catcher will be available off the bench. Tom Murphy will get the starts behind the plate while Raleigh recovers.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Texas.

Diaz started the past four contests and will take a seat for Sunday's afternoon game. He went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run in Saturday's 11-5 loss, which brought an end to his seven-game hit streak. Austin Wynns is working behind the plate for the series finale versus the Rangers.

Naylor was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the Guardians' 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Naylor isn't in the starting nine for Sunday's matinee but could be in the lineup for Game 2. The 23-year-old has continued to crush Triple-A pitching this year with nine homers and an .898 OPS through 41 games. For now it appears the young backstop is just up for Sunday's twin bill, but he could receive an extended look in the majors before long with Mike Zunino and Cam Gallagher going a combined 3-for-50 at the plate in May.

Rortvedt went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a 10-inning win against the Reds on Saturday.

A series of injuries stalled Rortvedt from playing after New York acquired him in a trade with Minnesota last March, but he was finally able to make his first appearance as a Yankee on Saturday. The backstop's team debut was a success, as he doubled and scored in his first at-bat and crossed the plate again after singling in his second trip to the plate. Rortvedt will get a chance to make an impression while Jose Trevino (hamstring) is on the IL, and he could feasibly remain on the roster upon Trevino's return if he plays well over that period.
