Quero is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Tigers.

Quero has been alternating starts at catcher with Korey Lee since the latter returned from the injured list last week, although Quero received an additional start at designated hitter during that stretch. Still, the rookie catcher looks as though he may play a bit less with Lee around than he did when Matt Thaiss was still with the White Sox. Quero is slashing only .188/.263/.232 over his last 21 games and is still looking for his first major-league home run.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

While all three knocks were singles, it was still another strong performance from d'Arnaud. The veteran catcher has seen steady work behind Logan O'Hoppe over the last few weeks and has responded by batting .310 (9-for-29) since May 18 with two doubles, a homer and three RBI.

Tromp signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Tromp elected free agency after clearing waivers Tuesday, but after spending less than a day on the open market, he'll return to his previous organization. The 30-year-old backstop has slashed .254/.338/.413 through 71 plate appearances in Triple-A this year.

The Blue Jays designated Sanchez for assignment Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

With Tyler Heineman back from the 7-day concussion injured list, the Jays no longer had a need for Sanchez. If Sanchez passes through waivers, he could stick around in the organization as catching depth.

O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

It appears to be a routine day of rest for O'Hoppe, who caught the previous two games and four of the past five contests. Travis d'Arnaud will be behind the dish and bat sixth for the Angels.

Wells is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

It's a routine day off for Wells, who started the previous three contests and five of the last six games. J.C. Escarra will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Yankees.

Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.

Connor Wong has taken a back seat to Narvaez at catcher for the Red Sox, but this will be Narvaez's second time beginning on the bench over the last three games. He enters play Tuesday with a .809 OPS to Wong's .375 mark.

Dingler went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 13-1 win over the White Sox.

Dingler was one of three Detroit players to go deep, including Kerry Carpenter, who crushed three long balls. That effort overshadowed Dingler, but the catcher has been quietly productive all year as he's taken hold of the starting job for the Tigers. The 26-year-old now has six long balls and a .794 OPS this season, compared to no home runs and a paltry .410 OPS for backup catcher Jake Rogers.

The Orioles outrighted Tromp to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

Tromp was cast off the 40-man roster Saturday and will report to Triple-A after failing to draw interest while on the waiver wire. He's batting .254 with three home runs, 10 RBI and nine runs scored across 20 games with the Tides this season.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

It's a routine day off for Jeffers, who is 2-for-22 across his last six contests. Christian Vazquez will do the catching and bat ninth for the Twins on Monday.
