O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Cleveland.

O'Hoppe has now gone deep in four consecutive games and has five long balls through 30 plate appearances. The 25-year-old catcher wasted no time Sunday, drilling a solo homer in the second inning. He owns a .345/.367/.862 slash line with nine RBI and a 1:10 BB:K through seven appearances.

Wong is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Wong will head to the bench after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Boston's 5-4 extra-inning win in the first game of the doubleheader. Carlos Narvaez will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in the nightcap.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Naylor launched his first home run of the season Saturday for his first hit in four games, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's matchup versus Halos lefty Tyler Anderson. Austin Hedges will step in behind the plate to catch for Guardians righty Luis L. Ortiz.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rockies.

Langeliers will take a seat Sunday after starting the previous five games, and the day off is well deserved after going 5-for-17 with five walks, two homers, four RBI and four runs during that stretch. Jhonny Pereda will step in behind the plate in the series finale for the A's.

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

Jansen will sit for the series finale after going 1-for-8 with two strikeouts and two errors behind the plate in the first two games. Ben Rortvedt will bat ninth and catch for righty Drew Rasmussen.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Rogers will sit for the day game after he went 2-for-4 while catching all nine innings of Saturday's 7-2 win. Dillon Dingler will replace Rogers behind the dish.

Garver went 0-for-2 with two walks in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.

Despite the release of Mitch Haniger during spring training, Garver has started just four of Seattle's first nine games of the season. Three of those have come at catcher, so that the Mariners could keep the big bat of Cal Raleigh in the lineup as the designated hitter. Garver is only 1-for-14 with three walks and five strikeouts in five appearances overall to begin the year, and the presence of Rowdy Tellez and Luke Raley will continue to limit his opportunities at DH.

Naylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's loss to the Angels.

Naylor notched his first long ball and second RBI of the season with a solo shot to center field in the third inning. It's been a rough start to the campaign for the backstop, as he's slashing just .174/.269/.304 with a 3:8 BB:K through 26 plate appearances. However, he seems to have a stranglehold on catching duties for Cleveland, with backup Austin Hedges logging just four plate appearances so far.

O'Hoppe went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 10-4 victory versus the Guardians on Saturday.

O'Hoppe belted one of four Angels homers against Cleveland ace Tanner Bibee, launching a two-run shot to center field in the fifth inning. It was the third straight game with a long ball for the backstop, who is tied for fourth in the league with four home runs on the campaign. O'Hoppe boosted his slash line to .320/.346/.800 with Saturday's three-hit performance.

Langeliers went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two total runs and three walks in Saturday's 7-4 victory versus Colorado.

Langeliers tested the control of Rockies hurler German Marquez in the win, drawing three walks against the veteran righty. The powerful backstop then belted a 429-foot, two-run homer off reliever Scott Alexander in the seventh frame. Langeliers is enjoying a strong start to the season with a .250/.382/.571 slash line, three home runs, seven RBI, five runs and a 6:5 K:BB through 34 plate appearances.
