Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Maldonado is presumably just getting some routine maintenance after he started behind the plate each of the past three days. Cesar Salazar will pick up his first MLB start in Wednesday's series finale, batting ninth while catching for starting pitcher Cristian Javier.

Bethancourt is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Bethancourt will head to the bench as he continues to split time with Francisco Mejia this season. Mejia will take over behind the plate and bat ninth against lefty Patrick Corbin.

McGuire is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Even with the Pirates bringing a right-hander (Mitch Keller) to the hill for the series finale, the lefty-hitting McGuire will find himself on the bench for the third time in four games while the righty-hitting Connor Wong gets another turn behind the dish. McGuire remains atop the depth chart at catcher for now, but he may be Option 1A rather than a clear-cut starter or even a strong-side platoon option at the position.

Vazquez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Vazquez is getting some routine maintenance while the Twins conclude their series in Miami with a day game after a night game. Ryan Jeffers will draw the start at catcher in place of Vazquez, who will most likely be back behind the dish for Thursday's series opener with the Astros.

Thaiss is hitting eighth and behind the plate Tuesday against the Mariners.

Thaiss gets the start behind the plate with Logan O'Hoppe getting the day off for Tuesday's contest. In 29 games last year, Thaiss registered a .640 OPS in 81 plate appearances.

O'Hoppe is not in the Angels' starting lineup Tuesday night against the Mariners.

Matt Thaiss will start at catcher and bat eighth versus the Mariners and ace right-hander Luis Castillo. O'Hoppe is 4-for-14 (.286) with one home run and six RBI through four games played this season.

Langeliers isn't in Oakland's lineup Tuesday against the Guardians.

After starting 3-for-15 at the plate through Oakland's first four games, Langeliers will get the day off Tuesday. Carlos Perez will take over behind the plate and bat eighth.

Quero is set to open the season with Double-A Rocket City, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

This is surprising, even for the aggressive Angels, as Quero, who turns 20 this week, has never played above Single-A and his defense behind the plate is widely panned by scouts. Granted, Rocket City is the team's preferred developmental hub over Tri-City (too pitcher-friendly) and Salt Lake (too hitter-friendly). If Quero handles the aggressive assignment offensively, he could possibly be fast-tracked as a first baseman.

Murphy is hitting eighth and serving as the designated hitter for Tuesday's tilt against the Angels.

Murphy has gone hitless in his first six plate appearances of 2023, but he does have a history of success versus left-handed pitchers and gets the starting nod against southpaw Jose Suarez.

Kirk isn't in the lineup for Toronto's game against the Royals.

Kirk has logged a hit in each of the three games he's played in thus far, but he will take a seat Tuesday in order to rest. Danny Jansen will take his place behind the dish and bat seventh.
