Heim is not in Saturday's lineup against the Twins.

Heim is hitting .148 with one home run, four runs and 10 RBI over his last 21 games. Mitch Garver will start at catcher while Sam Huff starts at designated hitter.

Wong is not in Saturday's lineup against the Royals.

Wong is hitting .333 with one home run, seven runs, four RBI and one steal in 30 at-bats over his last 10 games. Reese McGuire will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Langeliers isn't in the Athletics' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

Langeliers will get a day off after going 0-for-4 in Friday's series opener. Tyler Soderstrom will start instead behind the plate and bat eighth.

Wells went 1-for-4 in Friday's 6-2 victory against the Astros.

Wells was called up from the minors earlier Friday and batted seventh in the lineup while starting behind the plate against Houston. The 24-year-old worked the count full against Justin Verlander in his first big-league plate appearance before lacing a single to right field. Per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, Yankees manager Aaron Bone said Friday that Wells will play "a lot" at catcher down the stretch, though New York has two other catchers on the roster in Kyle Higashioka and Ben Rortvedt.

Jansen suffered a fractured right middle finger when struck by a foul ball in the sixth inning of Friday's win at Colorado, ESPN reports.

He'll have more tests done on the finger Saturday, but it sounds like he'll be out awhile. Alejandro Kirk would become the everyday catcher for the Blue Jays in Jansen's absence.

O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-2 loss to the Athletics.

O'Hoppe went yard in the ninth inning for his sixth homer of the year, though it had no bearing on the outcome. The catcher was the only Angel with multiple hits in this game. O'Hoppe is batting just .150 (6-for-40) since he returned Aug. 18 from a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. The top prospect is at a .226/.284/.452 slash line over 102 plate appearances this season.

Perez went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's win over Boston.

Perez was dealing with some back/neck soreness earlier this week but showed no signs of it Friday as he smacked a solo shot in the first inning and a two-run blast in the sixth. The veteran catcher had been stuck in a 10-for-49 (.204) funk since his last home run Aug. 14. He's now slashing .250/.293/.427 with 40 extra-base hits and 61 RBI through 499 plate appearances this season.

Jeffers is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Rangers.

Jeffers will get a breather after he went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts Wednesday versus the Guardians. Christian Vazquez will start behind the plate and bat eighth in the opener with Texas.

Oakland recalled Soderstrom from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Soderstrom gives the Athletics a third option at catcher as they expand their roster from 26 to 28. The 24-year-old entered the 2023 campaign as a consensus top-100 prospect but has slashed just .165/.237/.247 through his first 27 major-league games.

Perez (back/neck) is starting at first base and batting third Friday versus the Red Sox.

Perez was held out of Wednesday's series finale against the Pirates due to back/neck tightness, but he'll return to action heading into the Royals' three-game weekend series versus Boston, although he'll get a lighter defensive assignment. Freddy Fermin is catching Friday and Nick Loftin will make his MLB debut as the Royals' designated hitter.
