Gallagher went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Orioles.

Gallagher has played infrequently as the Guardians' backup catcher, and this was his second two-RBI game of the year. It's been an ugly May for Gallagher -- he's gone 5-for-32 (.156) over 12 contests. While he remains in the backup role, he could be at risk of losing his spot on the Guardians' roster if they decide to call up Bo Naylor for an extended look in the majors.

Jeffers went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 10-inning win over the Astros.

Jeffers already had two hits when he came to the plate with the game tied in the top of the 10th. The backstop plated what proved to be the winning runs with a two-run blast to left field. Jeffers has homered twice over his past 12 at-bats after notching just one long ball across his first 25 contests of the campaign. Christian Vazquez has yet to go deep this season and is slashing a paltry .223/.296/.250, so the door is open for Jeffers to earn more playing time if he continues to swing a hot bat.

Thaiss went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the White Sox.

Thaiss belted a solo shot as part of the Angels' four-run first inning and later stole his first bag of the year. The 28-year-old was 5-for-22 over his last 10 appearances since his last multi-hit game May 16. Thaiss boosted his season slash line to .300/.379/.444 with seven extra-base hits and 16 runs scored across 103 plate appearances.

Grandal is not in the lineup for Monday's tilt versus the Angels, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Grandal had started the last three contests but will start this one on the bench. Seby Zavala will catch Michael Kopech.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an extra-inning win over the Pirates on Sunday.

The slugging backstop's fourth-inning solo shot gave the Mariners a 2-0 lead and marked his first time leaving the yard since May 15. Raleigh has also now hit safely in four of his last five games, a stretch where he's hitting .333 with just one strikeout across 20 plate appearances.

Vazquez is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Houston.

Ryan Jeffers will check in at catcher for Vazquez, who was behind the plate for Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays. The two backstops have now made three starts apiece over the past six games and could be moving into more of a timeshare arrangement with Vazquez slashing just .223/.296/.250 through his first 125 plate appearances with the Twins.

Rutschman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With the Orioles and Guardians kicking off their series with a matinee game, Rutschman will head to the bench in what appears to be a routine maintenance day. James McCann will check in behind the dish in place of Rutschman, who started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the Orioles' previous 13 games.

Higashioka went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Padres.

It's the first multi-hit game of the season for Higashioka, who'd been stuck in a 1-for-18 slump coming into Sunday's contest. The 33-year-old backstop is now slashing .203./259/.380 with three homers and 13 RBI in 85 plate appearances this season. Higashioka should continue to see the majority of starts behind the plate while Jose Trevino (hamstring) is sidelined, though Trevino could return as soon as Tuesday against Seattle.

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

After starting behind the plate in each of Houston's last three games, Maldonado will get a respite in the series finale. Yainer Diaz will form a battery with starting pitcher Cristian Javier on Sunday.

Thaiss is back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, starting at catcher and batting seventh.

According to J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News, manager Phil Nevin said Thaiss has been dealing with a minor hip issue, which may explain why the backstop was out of the lineup each of the past three games. Assuming he comes out of Sunday's contest no worse for the wear, Thaiss should see the bulk of the starts at catcher over Chad Wallach heading into the Angels' upcoming seven-game week.
