Perez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in the Athletics' 9-5 Bay Bridge Series exhibition loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Perez was an in-game replacement at catcher following Shea Langeliers' time behind the dish. The 32-year-old is slated to serve as early-season depth behind Langeliers while Manny Pina (wrist) remains sidelined, and although he just signed last Sunday, he's gone 3-for-8 with Sunday's homer and three RBI across his first four games.

McCann (side) is going through hitting progressions before Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, but he is unsure if he'll play in Monday's spring finale versus the Cardinals, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

McCann has been battling soreness in his side and been held out of the lineup for the past few days. The backup backstop being able to participate in hitting drills is a positive step forward, but it's possible that McCann will need to open the 2023 campaign on the injured list.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that McCann has been out of the lineup lately as a precaution while the catcher manages left side soreness, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

McCann is expected to serve as the backup to Adley Rutschman in 2023, and while he hasn't been able to play as of late because of the side issue, it sounds like this isn't a serious injury. McCann should be a full-go for the start of the 2023 campaign.

Collins was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

A career .185/.295/.327 with poor defense behind the plate, Collins was always a long shot to break camp in the big leagues. With catcher of the future Bo Naylor waiting for his chance at the Triple-A level, it's hard to see a path for consistent at-bats in Cleveland for Collins.

Gallagher has been informed that he's made the Opening Day roster for the Guardians, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Gallagher will be one of three catchers on the roster, with Mike Zunino as the starter and Meibrys Viloria also on the club. Gallagher signed a minor-league contract in January with Cleveland, so the Guardians will have to make room on the 40-man roster in order to purchase his contract.

Wong (hamstring) is scheduled to catch seven innings in a minor-league game Saturday.

Wong has been getting at-bats as a rover in several minor-league games all week. Saturday's activity will be his return to the catching. He remains a possibility to make the Opening Day roster, but Wong would need to win out over non-roster invitee Jorge Alfaro to break camp as the backup catcher to Reese McGuire.

Wallach was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Angels on Friday.

Wallach was attempting to win a backup spot with the Angels after signing as a non-roster invite in November. The 31-year-old backstop will instead provide organizational depth at Triple-A Salt Lake to open the 2023 campaign.

Rogers was told Friday that he has made the Tigers' Opening Day roster, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports.

He will open as the No. 2 catcher behind Eric Haase. Andrew Knapp and Michael Papierski did not make the cut. Rogers missed the entire 2022 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he's recaptured his power stroke this spring, and his defense could encourage Detroit to push Haase to DH or a corner outfield spot more frequently this year.

The Tigers optioned Sands to Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Sands slashed just .214/.241/.250 over 29 plate appearances this spring, so he will return to Triple-A and attempt to right himself in the minors. If he can replicate his .841 OPS in Triple-A from last season, he has a decent shot at returning to the big leagues at some point in 2023.

Bethancourt has only two hits in 14 at-bats during Grapefruit League play.

Bethancourt has a roster spot locked up, but his portion of playing time is undetermined. Francisco Mejia is the other half of the duo behind the plate for the Rays, and he has also struggled this spring. The result could be an even split of playing time between Mejia and Bethancourt to begin the regular season.
