Wynns is not in the lineup Monday against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Wynns was recalled Sunday and inserted straight into the lineup. The playing-time split between him and Pedro Severino, who starts Monday, remains to be seen.

Garver will start at catcher and bat cleanup Monday against the Astros.

Garver will enter the lineup for the third time in four games, but he'll move up a few spots in the batting order with Nelson Cruz sitting out for rest purposes. The Twins still have Jason Castro on hand to steal starts behind the dish, but Garver's playing-time outlook should be on a slight upswing with No. 3 catcher Willians Astudillo (hamstring) moving to the 10-day injured list over the weekend.

Wynns was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

Wynns was called up to replace Jesus Sucre, who was designated for assignment. He had been playing well in the minors early on this season, combining to hit .333/.487/.400 across 39 plate appearances between Double and Triple-A action. Wynns got his first taste of the major leagues in 2018 and managed to record a .255 average with four home runs across 118 plate appearances. He figures to get considerable playing time behind the plate for the Orioles.

Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and two strikeouts in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

Sanchez received the day off for the series opener but returned to the lineup in a big way Saturday. The 26-year-old is slashing .231/.310/.654 with seven home runs and 15 RBI in only 52 at-bats.

Narvaez is not in the lineup Saturday against Texas.

Narvaez will sit after starting three straight. Tom Murphy will get the call in his absence.

Perez is out of the starting lineup Saturday against the Astros, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

While Perez gets the day off, Kevin Plawecki will assume catching duties and bat eighth. The two have shared the workload fairly evenly in 2019, with Perez starting 17 games and Plawecki 12.

McCann batted cleanup for a second straight game and went 2-for-4 with with two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 12-11 win over the Tigers.

It looks like having McCann hit out of the cleanup spot is more than a one-game thing for the catcher, who is 5-for-9 batting fourth. He might have had more chances for RBI had not Tim Anderson (two RBI) and Jose Abreu (five RBI) ahead of him done such a good job with men on base. Yonder Alonso had been batting cleanup but was dropped to seventh in the order Friday. McCann currently has a .944 OPS, 282 points higher than his career OPS.

Sanchez isn't starting Friday's game against the Giants, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

Sanchez will get the night off after failing to record a base knock in each of his last three games (0-for-8). Austin Romine will draw the start behind the dish and bat sixth in Sanchez's place.

Zavala was placed on the 7-day injured list Wednesday with left wrist inflammation, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The move is retroactive to Wednesday, so Zavala will be eligible to return in six days, should he prove ready. Prior to landing on the shelf, the backstop compiled a lackluster .203/.230/.458 slash line with three homers in 14 games with Triple-A Charlotte.

Vazquez is not in the lineup Thursday against the Tigers, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Vazquez will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale after starting three of the past four games behind the dish. In his place, Sandy Leon will start at backstop and hit ninth.
