Fermin is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Guardians.

Fermin was in the lineup for each of the last three games after Vinnie Pasquantino (thumb) landed on the injured list, but he will begin Monday's contest on the bench. Salvador Perez will start behind the plate for the series opener against the Guardians.

The Orioles designated Banuelos for assignment Monday.

Banuelos had just been recalled Sunday when rosters expanded. However, the Orioles have decided it was more important for them to have infield protection in the form of Nick Maton -- whose contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk -- than a third catcher in Banuelos.

McCann went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's win against the Rockies.

McCann accounted for Baltimore's only two extra-base hits during the 6-1 victory. He ripped a two-run homer in the fourth inning followed by a double in the ninth. It was his fifth home run of the year and second in his last five appearances. McCann is slashing .223/.270/.348 with 13 extra-base hits and 22 RBI through 200 plate appearances.

The Orioles selected Banuelos' contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

The addition of Banuelos gives Baltimore some extra insurance at catcher behind Adley Rutschman and James McCann, but the 27-year-old will likely play sparingly until the Orioles' playoff positioning is solidified. Banuelos -- who previously made his big-league debut in April before being cast off the 40-man roster -- has slashed .225/.360/.352 over 86 plate appearances with Norfolk this season.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

O'Hoppe is getting a routine day off after he had started behind the plate in the first two contests of the series. Matt Thaiss will handle the catching duties in the series finale.

Rutschman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The slumping Rutschman will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Orioles and Rockies wrap up their three-game set with a day game. James McCann will get a start behind the plate in place of Rutschman, who is slashing just .202/.279/.311 with two home runs, 12 RBI and 14 runs in 36 games since the All-Star break.

Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Caratini picked up starts at first base and catcher Friday and Saturday, respectively, but he'll hit the bench for the finale. Yainer Diaz will work behind the plate Sunday, while Jon Singleton gets the nod at first base. The Astros are likely to rotate Caratini, Singleton and Zach Dezenzo at first base until somebody performs well enough to take control of the job.

Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Chuckie Robinson will step in behind the plate for Lee, who started at catcher in each of the last three games. Lee has produced a poor .206/.229/.333 slash line with two home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs in 33 games since the All-Star break.

The Astros recalled Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

Salazar will join the Astros as catching depth with MLB rosters expanding to 28 players Sunday. He's unlikely to see much playing time while Yainer Diaz and Victor Caratini remain healthy.

Heim is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Heim has a .550 OPS in his past 10 games and will sit Sunday for the second time in the series versus Oakland. Carson Kelly is working behind the plate and batting seventh.
