MLB Player News

Narvaez was removed from Sunday's game against Atlanta due to pain in the third finger on his right hand, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

It's unclear exactly how he sustained the injury, but Narvaez was replaced defensively for the bottom of the sixth inning after going 1-for-2 at the plate. Connor Wong (ankle), who has been dealing with his own injury, replaced Narvaez at catcher.

Langeliers isn't starting Sunday versus San Francisco.

Langeliers has been a constant in the A's lineup either behind the plate or as the DH, but he'll begin on the bench Sunday for the first time since he went on paternity leave in early May. He's been one of baseball's most outstanding hitters this season, posting a 1.005 OPS with 12 homers and 27 RBI through 187 plate appearances. Jonah Heim is starting at catcher for the A's on Sunday.

Teel (hamstring) tweaked his right knee while taking a swing in a minor-league rehab game Saturday night, and he's set to be re-evaluated Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Teel was playing in his fourth rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte and appeared to be nearing his season debut for the White Sox. The catcher isn't in Charlotte's lineup Sunday, and it probably won't be clear when he'll be able to play again until after he's re-evaluated Tuesday. Teel had gone 4-for-15 with a home run and two RBI during his rehab stint at Triple-A.

Rutschman is absent from Baltimore's starting lineup Sunday versus the Rangers.

Rutschman will get a well-deserved breather after starting the previous eight games, including five consecutive starts behind the plate. Samuel Basallo, who has frequently served as the DH, will get a turn at catcher Sunday.

Wells is not in the Yankees' starting lineup Sunday versus the Mets.

Wells will begin on the bench after starting the first two games of the series and going 1-for-8 with five strikeouts. J.C. Escarra is getting a start behind the plate for the Yankees on Sunday.

D'Arnaud (foot) told reporters Saturday that he does not have a timetable for his return from the 10-day injured list, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

D'Arnaud landed on the 10-day injured list May 8 due to right foot plantar fasciitis. He's kept the weight off his foot by using a scooter and relayed that he'll have a better sense of his rehab timeline once he's able to put weight on his foot. Sebastian Rivero will continue to operate as the Angels' backup catcher behind Logan O'Hoppe for as long as d'Arnaud is sidelined.

O'Hoppe (wrist) will start at catcher and bat eighth against the Dodgers on Saturday, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

O'Hoppe was taken out of Friday's game prematurely due to irritation in his left wrist -- the same wrist that fractured in late April and caused him to spend three weeks on the IL. However, he seems to be feeling better ahead of Saturday's contest and will return to the lineup without missing a start. The 26-year-old backstop went 0-for-2 before his removal Friday and currently owns a .566 OPS through 95 plate appearances on the year.

Narvaez isn't starting Saturday versus Atlanta.

It's a routine day off for Narvaez, who started each of Boston's previous two games. Connor Wong (ankle) remains sidelined, so Mickey Gasper is starting behind the plate for the Red Sox on Saturday.

Bailey isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Since Bailey made his team debut Sunday, he has alternated starts with Austin Hedges behind the plate. Saturday will mark the latter's turn to handle catching duties.

Fortes isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Fortes will sit down for the fourth time in Tampa Bay's last five games, which could signal that the Rays are pivoting toward using the lefty-hitting Hunter Feduccia as their primary catcher against right-handed starters.
