Dingler (illness) is catching and batting ninth Friday against the Orioles.

The 25-year-old rookie was held out of the lineup for back-to-back games due to illness, but he's feeling well enough to spell Jake Rogers behind the dish Friday. Dingler is slashing .141/.167/.281 in 20 games with the Tigers.

Fermin isn't part of the Royals' starting lineup for Friday's game against Pittsburgh.

The Royals have seemingly settled into a routine behind the plate, starting Fermin for a pair of games and then giving him a night off in favor of Salvador Perez, who has otherwise been manning first base. Kansas City has utilized this arrangement for a nine-game stretch, and with Fermin catching the past two games, it'll be Perez's turn behind the dish Friday.

Jansen went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Yankees.

Jansen accounted for Boston's only run Thursday with a solo homer off Nestor Cortes in the fifth inning. It was his ninth home run of the season and third since joining the Red Sox late in July. Playing time has been hard to come by for Jansen, as he's played behind Connor Wong at catcher and has just 59 at-bats in the Boston's 45 games since the trade.

Hedges went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox.

Hedges' playing time remains sparse, and he hasn't done enough with the bat to challenge Bo Naylor for the starting catcher job. Since the start of August, Hedges has gone 7-for-40 (.175) with four RBI over 21 contests. He's now slashing .160/.213/.232 with two homers, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored and two stolen bases over 138 plate appearances this season.

McCann went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a hit-by-pitch in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Astros.

McCann went yard for the first time since July 6, though he's seen minimal playing time as the backup catcher to Shea Langeliers. For the season, McCann owns a .250/.333/.398 slash line, five homers, 15 RBI and 13 runs scored over 144 plate appearances.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Jeffers will receive a breather for the series finale after he made starts in each of the last four games, with both of the last two coming at catcher. Christian Vazquez will step in behind the dish Wednesday.

The Twins activated Vazquez (personal) from the paternity list Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Vazquez was away for two games while welcoming a new addition to the family. Fellow catcher Jair Camargo was sent down to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Langeliers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Houston.

Langeliers will get a regular day of rest after he had started at catcher both of the past two games. Kyle McCann will check in for Langeliers behind the plate.

Wells is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals.

Wells had made five straight starts, but he'll begin Wednesday's series finale on the bench. Jose Trevino will handle catching duties and bat ninth for New York.

O'Hoppe is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Minnesota.

It's a routine day off for O'Hoppe, who started each of the first two games of the series. Matt Thaiss will do the catching for Wednesday's finale.
