Higashioka (ribs) played five innings at catcher and went 1-for-3 with a double in a rehab game with Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Higashioka began a rehab assignment this weekend at Round Rock, initially getting five at-bats as the designated hitter Saturday before making his first start behind the plate Sunday. He'll likely come off the Rangers' 10-day injured list at some point during the upcoming week and will supplant Tucker Barnhart as the team's No. 2 catcher.

Diaz went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Diaz got the scoring started with his three-run shot in the third inning. It was his fourth home run of the year and first since May 2. Sunday was Diaz's 34th appearance of the season, and it's been a tale of two halves to begin his 2025 campaign. After posting an ugly .404 OPS through the first 17 games, he's gone 22-for-67 (.328) with three homers and 14 RBI over his last 17 contests. Diaz's OPS now sits at .652 through 135 plate appearances.

Kirk (head) exited Sunday's contest against the Mariners in the top of the fifth inning, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Kirk suffered a blow to the helmet on a backswing from Julio Rodriguez in bottom of the third inning. The catcher remained in the contest for another full inning before exiting, likely due to precautionary reasons. Tyler Heineman replaced him behind the plate versus Seattle.

Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Fermin will get a breather after he started each of the Royals' last three contests. Luke Maile will check in for Fermin behind the dish.

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

After going 3-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Saturday's 10-1 win, Carlos Narvaez will be rewarded with another start behind the dish. The Red Sox have turned their catching situation into a timeshare with Wong stumbling to a .396 OPS over his first 42 plate appearances this season. Narvaez, meanwhile, owns a .730 OPS across 102 plate appearances.

Quero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Quero will receive a breather after he went 0-for-4 while playing all nine innings behind the plate Saturday. Matt Thaiss will handle catching duties for the White Sox in the series finale.

Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Rortvedt had started each of the Rays' last five matchups against right-handed pitchers, but he'll give way to Danny Jansen behind the dish Sunday versus Chad Patrick. The arrangement between the two backstops hasn't been paying off lately; Rortvedt and Jansen have gone a combined 3-for-29 through the Rays' first nine games in May.

Caratini went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 13-9 loss to the Reds.

Caratini finished off the Astros' six-run third inning with a two-run homer off Brady Singer. It was Caratini's second home run of the season, both of which have come over his last five starts. He is slashing .255/.356/.431 with nine runs scored, two home runs and four RBI this season.

Kirk went 4-for-5 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Kirk is swinging a hot bat, as he's gone 18-for-46 (.391) over his last 11 games. The catcher had four singles Saturday and has just two extra-base hits over that hot stretch, but he's also logged seven RBI in that span. His big game lifted his batting average for the season from .259 to .282, which is accompanied by a .668 OPS, two home runs, 13 RBI, five runs scored and three doubles through 30 contests.

Langeliers went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees.

Getting a break from catching duties in the DH spot, the big blow off the bat of Langeliers was a three-run homer in the seventh inning. The 27-year-old tied his season high in hits while setting a new high in RBI, and through 34 games in 2025, Langeliers is slashing .248/.308/.473 with eight home runs, 17 runs and 22 RBI.
