Perez (head) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Perez was lifted from Saturday's game versus Houston after taking a foul ball to the face in the fifth inning, but he has been cleared of a concussion and is considered day-to-day. Logan Porter will do the catching for the Royals on Sunday afternoon.

Pinto is absent from the lineup Sunday at Baltimore.

Pinto started behind the plate Friday and Saturday and went a combined 1-for-7 with a strikeout and a run scored. Christian Bethancourt will handle the catching for the Rays in Sunday's series finale.

Heim is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Austin Hedges will start at catcher and bat ninth as Mitch Garver serves as the Rangers' designated hitter and cleanup man. Heim has slashed just .191/.223/.326 in 94 plate appearances since he returned Aug. 13 from a two-week absence to heal a strained tendon in his left wrist.

Naylor is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

Cam Gallagher will do the catching and bat ninth after Naylor logged three straight starts behind the plate. He went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in the Guardians' defeat of Texas on Saturday.

Kirk is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Tyler Heineman will catch and bat ninth as Kirk grabs some rest after making four straight starts behind the plate. He went 1-for-4 with a walk in the Blue Jays' win over Boston on Saturday.

Wong is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Blue Jays.

Reese McGuire will start at catcher and bat ninth against the Jays and left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu. Wong played all 13 innings behind the plate Saturday and went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in a 4-3 loss for the Red Sox.

Perez sustained a non-concussive head injury that forced him to leave Saturday's game versus the Astros.

Perez took a foul ball to the face in the fifth inning, but the initial diagnosis suggests he's avoided a concussion. The catcher can be considered day-to-day, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out Sunday's series finale. The Royals open a three-game home series versus the Guardians on Monday.

Naylor went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

Naylor's putting it all together in September, going 11-for-35 (.314) with four extra-base hits and three steals across 11 games. The catcher also has an 8:6 BB:K this month. For the season, he's at a .232/.325/.429 slash line with eight home runs, four steals, 24 RBI, 25 runs scored and 11 doubles through 59 contests, though it's clear he's made some progress with regular playing time in the majors. He's also posted an 11.8 percent walk rate and 24.1 percent strikeout rate.

Rogers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

Rogers had started six of the team's last eight games, and he had eight hits across 24 at-bats in that span. He'll get a routine day of rest with Carson Kelly taking over behind the dish while hitting eighth.

Jeffers is not in Saturday's lineup against the White Sox.

The Twins have opted to alternate starts between Jeffers and Christian Vazquez since Sept. 6. Jeffers went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Friday but will give way to Vazquez -- who is hitting ninth -- on Saturday.
