Wong is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

It's a routine day off for Wong. Reese McGuire will do the catching and bat ninth against Charlie Morton.

Haase is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Guardians.

Haase will take a seat after he went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Monday's victory. The 30-year-old has now secured at least one hit in seven straight contests, going 11-for-27 with two homers, seven RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base over that stretch. Nick Maton will take over at designated hitter while Andy Ibanez enters the lineup at third base and bats eighth against Cleveland.

Huff was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Huff will join the big-league roster for the first time this season, replacing Travis Jankowski (hamstring) on the active roster after Jankowski was placed on the 10-day injured list. Huff has produced a .267 average with five homers, 20 RBI and 11 runs scored over 90 at-bats in 22 games with Round Rock this season. The 25-year-old will likely operate as bench bat for Texas while making an occasional start behind the plate.

Heim went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's 2-1 win over Seattle.

Heim plated the game-winning run as part of the Rangers' two-run uprising in the seventh inning. He ranks third on the team and 11th overall in the majors with 27 RBI.

Haase went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Monday's win over the Guardians.

All three hits were singles, but fantasy managers will be happy with the effort, which pushed Haase's batting average up to .297 for the season. Jake Rogers has seen more time at catcher lately, though he's only batting .203, so Haase could see things swing back in his direction. He's also capable of playing in the outfield on days when Rogers starts behind the plate.

The target date for Garver (knee) to return off the 10-day injured list remains May 23, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Garver was able to take batting practice Friday and continues to make positive progress from the knee sprain that has kept him on the injured list since the middle of April. Because of how much time the veteran 31-year-old has missed, Garver will likely need a rehab assignment of at least a handful of games, and he'll likely begin that assignment at some point in the next week.

Maldonado is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Maldonado went 1-for-6 in two appearances in the three-game set against Seattle, and he'll retreat to the bench to open the series against the Angels on Monday. Yainer Diaz is starting behind the plate and hitting eighth.

Wallach woke up with a sore neck before Sunday's game against the Rangers and he'll test it out during pregame activities Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Wallach wasn't likely to play Monday anyway against right-hander Hunter Brown, but his availability off the bench will be determined in large part by how he looks in the pre-game workout. The Angels have Chris Okey up on the taxi squad, so it's possible the team could bring up Okey to be the backup backstop if they determine Wallach needs a short stint on the injured list.

Zavala is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Zavala had started at catcher in three of the White Sox's previous four games, in part due to the fact that Yasmani Grandal had been limited to designated-hitter duties while dealing with a back spasm. With Grandal reprising his usual duties behind the plate Monday, Zavala will retreat to the bench and may see more sporadic playing time moving forward.

Bethancourt is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Bethancourt will get a breather after he caught both of the final two games of the Rays' series with the Yankees over the weekend. Francisco Mejia will spell Bethancourt behind the dish.
