Heim isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

Heim and Kyle Higashioka have essentially alternated starts at catcher to begin the season, though Saturday will be the second consecutive game that Heim has begun on the bench despite going 4-for-13 with two homers in his four outings.

Rutschman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Rutschman will get his first opportunity to rest Saturday after starting the season 8-for-31 with two homers, three RBI and six runs scored after eight games. While he's out, Gary Sanchez will catch for Tomoyuki Sugano and bat eighth.

Narvaez went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two RBI in Friday's 13-9 win over St. Louis.

Narvaez found himself in the starting lineup for a second straight game and rewarded manager Alex Cora by contributing offensively to the win. He's caught both games started by Walker Buehler.

Wong will start Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Wong was held out of the lineup for two straight games but is scheduled to be part of the starting crew Saturday and Sunday. It was mildly surprising to see Carlos Narvaez start Friday's home opener, but Narvaez may be the preferred catcher whenever Walker Buehler starts.

Jeffers isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

Jeffers will take a day off after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during a loss in Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Christian Vazquez to start behind the dish while batting ninth.

O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's loss to Cleveland.

O'Hoppe tried to rally the Angels from a late deficit with his solo blast to center field in the ninth inning, but his team ultimately fell two runs short. The talented young backstop's homer was his second in as many games and his third overall this season. Among MLB catchers, only Ivan Herrera has more long balls (four) in the early part of the campaign.

Higashioka went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Rays.

Higashioka knocked in the first of four runs the Rangers scored in the third inning. He has taken on an equitable share of the catching position alongside Jonah Heim. Each player has started four games. Higashioka is batting .250 (3-for-12) with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored so far this season.

Thaiss isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Thaiss will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 3-for-13 with an RBI and two run scored through his first six games of the season. Korey Lee will catch for Davis Martin instead and bat eighth.

Basallo was removed from Friday's game with left hamstring discomfort, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Basallo has battled an elbow issue since late in spring training, which limited him to DH duties to start the year with Triple-A Norfolk. The severity of the hamstring issue is unclear, but it's been a bumpy start to the season for Basallo.

Heim is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

Kyle Higashioka will make another start behind the plate, catching for Tyler Mahle. Through eight games, each catcher has been in the starting lineup four times. Heim is slashing .308/.308/.769 with two home runs, two RBI and two runs scored through 13 plate appearances on the young season.
