Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Raleigh started the first two games of the series versus Tampa Bay, and he'll take a seat for the finale after going 1-for-7 with two walks, a run and five strikeouts. Tom Murphy will step in behind the plate to catch for Luis Castillo.

Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Astros.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Garver, who posted a .237/.308/.356 slash line over 16 games in June. Josh Smith is batting ninth as the designated hitter Sunday.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Jansen will get a breather in the series finale after he started behind the dish in four of the Blue Jays' past five games. Alejandro Kirk is getting the nod at catcher and will form a battery with starting pitcher Kevin Gausman.

Vazquez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

The Twins and Orioles are wrapping up their series with a day game that begins at 12:05 p.m. ET, so Vazquez will get a breather after catching all nine innings of Saturday's 1-0 win. Ryan Jeffers will check in behind the dish Sunday.

Wallach isn't in the Angels' lineup Saturday against Arizona, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Wallach put together a five-game hitting streak in mid-June, but he's now 0-for-20 with nine strikeouts across his last eight games. Matt Thaiss will start behind the dish Saturday for the Angels and bat sixth.

Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the Rockies.

Rogers has recorded a hit in five of his last six games, going 6-for-16 with a homer, two RBI and five runs scored in that span. He'll take a seat Saturday while Eric Haase starts behind the plate and bats ninth.

Langeliers isn't in the Athletics' lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

After going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Friday, Langeliers will get a breather Saturday. Carlos Perez will take over behind the dish and bat third.

Garver isn't in the Rangers' lineup Saturday against the Astros.

Garver collected hits in his last two starts but has now sat two straight games. Jonah Heim will start behind the dish Saturday, and Ezequiel Duran will serve as the DH.

Raleigh went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run in a loss to the Rays on Friday.

Raleigh managed to close out a strong second half of June with yet another productive outing, pushing his slash line over the last 11 games to an impressive .308/.341/.462. The 26-year-old backstop encouragingly carries only a 14.6 percent strikeout rate over that span as well, a welcome improvement over the 26.5 percent figure he entered the stretch with.

Murphy went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in a loss to the Rays on Friday.

The veteran got the start at designated hitter and once again thrived versus a lefty, taking what turned out to be a less-than-100-percent Shane McClanahan (back) deep in the second inning with Teoscar Hernandez aboard. Murphy's bat seems unfazed by the fact he sees sporadic playing time, as he's now hitting .409 (9-for-22) with two doubles, three homers, seven RBI, a walk and four runs across his last six starts dating back to June 10.
