Jeffers is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

Jeffers will get what looks like a routine breather after three straight starts, including two starts behind the plate in the past three days. Christian Vazquez will catch for starting pitcher Zebby Matthews.

Lee was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox with back tightness, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Chuckie Robinson is now slated to do the catching for starting pitcher Davis Martin. Lee ended August on a 2-for-21 slide and is just 1-for-7 to open September.

Wells (hand) is starting behind the plate and batting cleanup Friday against the Cubs.

The 25-year-old sat out two straight games after being hit in the right hand by a pitch Monday, but he'll rejoin the starting nine following Thursday's team off day. Wells has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts through the first two games of September, but he was plenty productive in August with four homers and a .936 OPS in 22 contests.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-4 win over the A's.

Raleigh hit a two-run blast off Joey Estes deep in the top of the first inning to get the scoring started. Raleigh also managed to steal his sixth base of the season, which is impressive considering he only had one steal in his first three seasons combined. The 27-year-old is now just one homer away from matching his total from last year and being the first catcher with 30 home runs in back-to-back seasons since Mike Piazza did it for eight straight years from 1995 to 2002.

O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Rangers.

It's a routine day off for O'Hoppe, who had started each of the last two games and four of the last five. Matt Thaiss will do the catching in the series opener Thursday.

Langeliers is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Mariners.

It's a routine day of rest for Langeliers, who had started each of the previous six contests. Kyle McCann will do the catching for Joey Estes in the series finale.

Rortvedt is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Twins.

Rortvedt caught the night game Wednesday, so he will be given some rest for Thursday's matinee. Logan Driscoll will do the catching for the Rays.

The Astros optioned Salazar to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Salazar was recalled when rosters expanded to serve as the Astros' third catcher, but he's being sent back out for now. He struck out in his lone plate appearance during his brief stint in the majors.

The Rays designated Jackson for assignment Thursday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Jackson has slashed only .122/.201/.237 in 58 games this season. The Rays will now use Logan Driscoll as their backup catcher behind Ben Rortvedt.

Rogers isn't in Detroit's lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Rogers grab a seat on the bench Wednesday after going 0-for-3 during a loss in Tuesday's series opener. Dillon Dingler will start behind the dish instead and bat ninth.
