Kirk is absent from the Blue Jays' lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the Yankees, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Danny Jansen will catch Kevin Gausman. Kirk has seen his OPS fall to .658 after a 3-for-30 start at the plate this month.

Wallach went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-5 win over the Orioles.

Wallach was activated off the 7-day injured list and made his first start Monday since May 6. The catcher looked sharp in his return, recording his first three-hit game of the season while hitting his first home run since April 24. Matt Thaiss will likely get the bulk of starts at catcher when the Angels are facing right-handed pitching, but Wallach is the clear No. 2 with Max Stassi (personal/hip) and Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) both unavailable for the foreseeable future.

Raleigh went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three total runs and four total RBI in Monday's 10-1 rout of the Red Sox.

After the two teams played to a scoreless draw through four innings, Raleigh broke the tie with a mammoth 438-foot two-run shot off righty Tanner Houck. The switch hitter then flipped to the other side of the plate against southpaw Brennan Bernardino in the sixth and hit another two-run shot, this time a 434-footer. In doing so, Raleigh became the first catcher ever to homer from both sides of the plate at Fenway Park, per Jon Morosi of MLB Network. The backstop is up to seven long balls and 22 RBI on the campaign after belting 27 homers and driving in 63 runs in his first full MLB campaign last season.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Trevino will give way to Kyle Higashioka, who is catching for starting pitcher Jimmy Cordero in the series opener with Toronto. Over 11 games in May, Trevino has gone 4-for-30 with a home run, five runs and three RBI.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Jansen had started behind the dish in three of the past four games, but he'll cede catching duties to Alejandro Kirk as the Blue Jays open a four-game slate with the Yankees on Monday. Though Kirk earned an All-Star nod in 2022 largely on the basis of his production with the bat, his modest .679 OPS so far this season has resulted in him losing out on some starts to Jansen. While Jansen remains less productive at the plate (.182/.258/.330 slash line in 97 plate appearances), the upgrade he offers on the defensive end should guarantee him at least a part-time role until Kirk starts tapping into more power.

The Angels optioned Okey to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

With Chad Wallach (concussion) back from the 7-day injured list, the Angels no longer had a need for Okey as an extra catcher. The 28-year-old struck out in his only two plate appearances during his brief stint with the big club.

Wallach (concussion) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Orioles after the Angels reinstated him from the 7-day injured list, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Wallach ended up spending just over the minimum amount of time on the shelf with what was an apparently mild concussion. Though Wallach will get the nod behind the dish in the series opener in Baltimore, the lefty-hitting Matt Thaiss -- who owns a solid .767 OPS on the season -- could end up getting the bulk of the starts at catcher when the Angels face right-handed pitching.

Perez went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

Perez got going quickly with a 433-foot blast to center field to put the Royals up 1-0. He singled his next time up in the third and wound up scoring again. Perez has already collected six multi-hit efforts over 12 games in May and is slashing .381/.438/.857 with six homers, 10 RBI, 13 runs and a 4:11 BB:K over that span. After Sunday, Perez sits at nine home runs, which has put him in a tie with Sean Murphy for most among catchers.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

Diaz led off the fourth with a solo blast to left field off of Lucas Giolito for his first career major league home run. The 24-year-old has rotated in behind the plate with Martin Maldonado but doesn't have a path to a near everyday role unless Maldonado is forced to miss time. Diaz is now slashing .217/.250/.348 with four RBI, sux runs and a 2:11 BB:K over 52 plate appearances.

Langeliers went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 11-3 loss to the Rangers.

Langeliers was responsible for both of the Athletics' scoring plays with an RBI single in the second inning and a two-run homer in the seventh. The catcher has hit safely in six of his last eight games, going 9-for-28 (.321) in that span. He's up to a .234/.309/.435 slash line with seven homers, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored, two doubles and a triple through 35 contests this season.
