    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Getting Sunday off

    Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    After catching each of the past four days, Raleigh will get a breather for the series finale. Seby Zavala will get the starting nod behind the dish Sunday.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Getting day off

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

    Naylor will get a rest for the series finale after he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout while logging eight innings behind the plate in Saturday's 3-1 loss. David Fry will fill in for Naylor behind the dish.

  • Alex Jackson C | MIN

    Rays' Alex Jackson: Returning to bench Sunday

    Jackson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Jackson had started behind the plate in each of the past three games, but he struck out in all six of his at-bats during that stretch while drawing a walk in his lone other plate appearance. One of his starts came against a lefty and another came versus a righty (Chris Flexen) with reverse splits, so the right-handed-hitting Jackson still looks to be in the short side of a platoon at catcher with the lefty-hitting Ben Rortvedt, who rejoins the lineup Sunday.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Heading to bench Sunday

    Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    With lefty Tyler Alexander on the hill for the Rays, the lefty-hitting Wells will exit the lineup for the series finale. Jose Trevino will spell Wells behind the plate.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Hitting bench Sunday

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

    Rogers will get a breather after he started in each of the past four games, with the last three coming behind the plate. Carson Kelly will step in for Rogers as the Tigers' starting catcher in the series finale.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Belts another homer Saturday

    Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Athletics on Saturday.

    Raleigh's 387-foot shot to right center in the second inning served as the first run of the night for either side and also made him the first AL catcher to hit 10 or more homers in his team's first 40 games since 2003. The slugging backstop has cleared the fences four times in the last eight games alone, and he's reached safely in seven contests overall during that span.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Gets rest for series finale

    Jansen is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Twins.

    Jansen will sit for the series finale Sunday while Alejandro Kirk starts behind the dish and bats eighth against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. Since May 1, Jansen has gone 10-for-28 with four doubles, two home runs and four RBI.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Getting breather Sunday

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Jeffers looks to be getting a rest in the series finale after he started in each of the Twins' previous three games while going 2-for-11 with a pair of home runs and one walk. Christian Vazquez will spell Jeffers behind the dish.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Sitting Saturday

    Langeliers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

    Langeliers is on a heater, batting .429 with three home runs, two triples and two doubles in his last five games. Kyle McCann is starting behind the dish and hitting sixth.

  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Resting Saturday

    Lee is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Guardians.

    Lee will begin Saturday's game in the dugout while Martin Maldonado gets the start at catcher and bats ninth against Cleveland right-hander Triston McKenzie. Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored Friday, and the 25-year-old is 7-for-18 with two home runs and four RBI over five games in May.
