Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Rogers will take a seat for the day game after he caught all 10 innings of Tuesday night's 1-0 loss while going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. Carson Kelly will replace him behind the dish in the series finale.

Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees.

Jeffers gave Minnesota the lead with a solo homer as the team's first batter of the game. However, the Twins wouldn't score another run following Jeffers' round tripper, and Jeffers himself struck out in his final three plate appearances. The catcher has now hit double-digit homers in 2024 and is on pace to smash his career high of 14 long balls.

O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Cardinals.

O'Hoppe got the Angels back into the game with a fourth-inning blast off Sonny Gray. Since returning from a minor hand issue May 6, O'Hoppe has gone 9-for-31 (.290) with eight RBI over eight games. The catcher is at a .268/.321/.402 slash line with three homers, 19 RBI, 15 runs scored, six doubles and a triple over 37 contests this season.

Lee isn't in the White Sox's lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus Washington.

Lee went 1-for-4 with a strikeout during a loss in Game 1, and he'll get a breather while Martin Maldonado starts behind the dish to conclude Tuesday's activities.

Jansen (back) is starting behind the plate and batting fifth Tuesday against the Orioles.

Jansen sat out Monday for the second straight game due to back spasms but is ready to play Tuesday. The fact the 29-year-old is immediately returning to work behind the plate indicates the injury wasn't a serious concern. Jansen has carried a hot bat through nine games in May with a 1.101 OPS in 28 at-bats.

Rutschman went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Monday against the Blue Jays.

Rutschman hit both blasts off Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios, giving him eight on the season and three over the last two games. The third-year star is now slashing .309/.343/.491 with 25 RBI and 23 runs to go along with the eight home runs.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

After starting three games in a row, Rogers finds himself on the bench for the second straight day. Though Carson Kelly is behind the plate Monday, Rogers still looks to be manager A.J. Hinch's preferred option at catcher.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles due to back spasms, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The injury explains why Jansen is on the bench for a second straight game after he was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins in what appeared to be a routine maintenance day. Jansen came off the bench and pinch hit for designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach in that contest, and Schneider said that he's hopeful Jansen will be available again Monday, if needed. Alejandro Kirk will pick up another start at catcher in Jansen's stead.

Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Alex Jackson will handle the catching duties for the Rays on Monday, but Rortvedt still appears to be the team's No. 1 backstop, despite having now started in just one of the team's last five games. The lefty-hitting Rortvedt should see the bulk of the starts against right-handed pitching, while the right-handed-hitting Jackson likely represents the top choice to catch when the Rays oppose lefties.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Jansen is on the bench for a second consecutive game, but he didn't get a true day off in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins, as he was summoned from the bench as a pinch hitter and drove in a run in his lone plate appearance. He'll likely get a more proper day of rest Monday while Alejandro Kirk gets another turn behind the plate.
