Trevino isn't in the Yankees' lineup Friday against the Blue Jays.

In the midst of a three-game hitting streak, Trevino will take a seat Friday while Kyle Higashioka starts behind the plate and bats eighth against southpaw Yusei Kikuchi.

Kirk is absent from the Blue Jays' lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Danny Jansen will catch Yusei Kikuchi while Vladimir Guerrero is in the designated hitter spot and Brandon Belt plays first base. Kirk hasn't done much at the plate in the early going with a .689 OPS.

Fermin was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

With Franmil Reyes landing on the paternity list Friday, Fermin will join the major-league roster in Reyes' place. The 27-year-old backstop is slashing .293/.408/.561 in Omaha but likely won't see much playing time behind Salvador Perez and MJ Melendez while in the majors.

Rortvedt (shoulder) is set to start his rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa on Friday.

Rortvedt was forced to undergo surgery in February to address an aneurysm in his left shoulder, and he's missed the beginning of the season as a result. The catcher will now commence what will likely be a prolonged rehab assignment before he could potentially join the Yankees' major-league roster down the line. Rortvedt last appeared in the big leagues in 2021, producing a .169 batting average with three homers, seven RBI and eight runs scored over 89 at-bats in 39 games with the Twins as a rookie. Neither Jose Trevino nor Kyle Higashioka have been impressive at the plate in 2023, so Rortvedt is worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses.

O'Hoppe (shoulder) will be evaluated in the next couple of days after exiting Thursday's matchup against the Yankees, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

O'Hoppe exited the game after an awkward swing in the ninth inning. He spoke to reporters after the contest but was unsure of any specific details regarding the nature of his injury or how much additional game action he may be forced to miss.

O'Hoppe was pulled from Thursday's game against the Yankees after appearing to injure his left shoulder, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

O'Hoppe immediately grabbed at his upper left arm after getting spun around on a pitch in the top of the ninth inning. He managed to make contact for a single and scampered to first base before jogging off the field with a look of deep frustration. The 23-year-old catcher finished 3-for-4 with two RBI on the day and boasts an .886 OPS through 59 plate appearances this season with the Angels.

Heim went 3-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Royals.

Heim delivered the finishing blows to Kansas City with a three-run blast in the ninth inning that travelled 429 feet. It was the third homer of the season for the catcher, who has a .941 OPS and has knocked in 11 runs through 13 games. With Mitch Garver's knee injury expected to keep him out through the beginning of May, Heim becomes the primary catcher, with Sandy Leon backing him up. Heim has started eight of the last 10 games.

Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Reese McGuire's inability to control the running game early on in the season has allowed Wong to emerge as Boston's No. 1 catcher, but the latter's job security may be starting to loosen. In his last start behind the dish in Monday's loss to the Angels, McGuire threw out the lone would-be base stealer on the day (Shohei Ohtani), and the backstop also went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a run. McGuire enters Wednesday with a 372-point edge over Wong in OPS for the season, and the upgrade McGuire offers with the bat may be enough for him to eventually usurp Wong atop the depth chart.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Matt Thaiss will get the starting nod behind the dish while O'Hoppe sits for just the fourth time through the Angels' first 18 games of the season. So long as Max Stassi (hip) remains on the injured list, O'Hoppe should continue to dominate the starts at catcher.

McCann is drawing a start at catcher for the Orioles in Wednesday's game versus the Nationals, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Adley Rutschman is also in there at designated hitter. McCann is just 1-for-11 at the dish so far after returning from an oblique strain.
