Gomes is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Gomes will receive a standard day off after starting the past three games and following a three-strikeout showing during Tuesday's loss. In his stead, Roberto Perez will catch for Shane Bieber.

McCann is out of the lineup against Oakland on Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McCann will take a seat after going 1-for-5 with one RBI during Tuesday's loss. In his stead, Grayson Greiner will catch Mike Fiers and bat seventh in the Tigers' order.

Vazquez is not in the lineup against the Angels on Wednesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Vazquez will receive a standard day off after going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Tuesday's victory. In his absence, Sandy Leon will catch Rick Porcello and bat eighth.

Sanchez was diagnosed Monday with a Grade 1 groin strain, which is expected to sideline him for 3-to-4 weeks, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic New York reports.

Sanchez was placed on the disabled list earlier Monday, but the extent of his injury wasn't known until the results of his MRI became available. Assuming the given timetable holds, Sanchez will be out until shortly after the All-Star break. Austin Romine will act as the primary starter behind the plate in the interim, with Kyle Higashioka serving as his backup.

Higashioka will be called up Monday with Gary Sanchez (groin) heading to the disabled list, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Higashioka will back up Austin Romine while Sanchez remains injured. The duration of Sanchez's absence should become clear after an MRI on Monday. Higashioka went hitless in nine games with the Yankees last year, his only taste of big-league action thus far in his career.

Sanchez will head to the disabled list with a groin strain Monday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Sanchez will undergo an MRI on Monday but will head to the disabled list regardless of the results. He'll miss at minimum 10 days but could miss more depending on the results of the MRI. Austin Romine will be the Yankees' starter behind the dish with Sanchez out, with Kyle Higashioka called up to serve as his backup.

McCann is not starting Monday against Oakland.

McCann is hitting just .158 with a .316 OPS over his last 10 games. Grayson Greiner gets the start in his place Monday.

Maldonado went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and four RBI in the Angels' 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.

It was a big day at the plate for the 31-year-old backstop, who drove in four of his team's six runs on the day with his pair of hits that included a bases-loaded double. He's still not having an especially notable offensive season, as Maldonado is slashing .251/.309/.357 with just three home runs over his 199 at-bats.

Sanchez suffered a groin strain in Sunday's game against the Rays and is likely headed to the disabled list, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

He will get an MRI on Monday, and the move to the DL will likely be made once those results are obtained. Sanchez went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout before grounding into a double play in the top of the 10th inning. He was then replaced by Austin Romine behind the dish in the bottom of the 10th inning, so he presumably suffered the injury running to first base on the groundout. Romine should serve as the primary catcher while Sanchez is out, and Kyle Higashioka will likely be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to serve as the backup if Sanchez does indeed land on the disabled list.

Perez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.

The 28-year-old will get a day to rest his legs as Drew Butera steps in behind the plate to catch for starter Jason Hammel. Perez has endured a tough month, slashing just .173/.225/.293 with two homers so far in June, but his track record should be enough for fantasy owners to be patient.
