Maldonado is not in Saturday's lineup against Atlanta, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Maldonado is hitting .257 with two home runs in 12 games this month. Christian Vazquez will start behind the dish and hit sixth.

Langeliers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

He has played pretty regularly since getting the call earlier this week, primarily as the designated hitter. Langeliers is 3-for-15, with all three of his hits going for extra bases (two doubles, one home run). He has struck out eight times in 16 plate appearances. Stephen Vogt slots in at designated hitter while batting cleanup.

Heim is not in Saturday's lineup against the Twins.

Heim is hitting .200 with one home run, nine strikeouts and nine walks in 14 games this month. Meibrys Viloria will start behind the dish and hit eighth.

Hedges (ankle) is not in Saturday's lineup against the White Sox but will not need an IL stint, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Bryan Lavastida was initially brought to Cleveland as a precaution, but Hedges is doing well enough that a roster move won't be made. Luke Maile will handle the catching duties in the meantime. Hedges should be considered day-to-day.

McGuire is not in Saturday's lineup against the Orioles.

He has seemingly passed Kevin Plawecki as Boston's top catcher, but Plawecki is behind the dish and hitting ninth in this one. McGuire is hitting .375 with zero home runs in 10 games this month.

Kirk went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the Yankees.

The 23-year-old backstop slumped coming out of his first All-Star Game appearance, but Kirk appears to be finding his groove again. Over his last 10 games, he's batting .351 (13-for-37) with two doubles, two runs and five RBI, and as the rest of the Toronto offense heats up again too, Kirk's overall production should rise as well.

Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 15-10 win over the Red Sox.

Rutshman belted a two-run shot in the fourth inning, his eighth homer of the year and third in the last seven games. The star rookie bumped his slash line up to .255/.364/.457 with 47 runs scored and 33 extra-base hits through 71 career games. He's gone 17-for-56 (.304) with 16 walks and 11 strikeouts this month.

Hedges was removed from Friday's game against the White Sox with a sprained right ankle, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Hedges walked in his lone plate appearance before exiting the game with the injury. Luke Maile replaced him behind the plate, and top prospect Bo Naylor could be in line for a promotion should Hedges be forced to miss any time.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Texas.

The Twins have alternated starters behind the plate for each of the past 10 games, and that trend will continue Friday after Sanchez went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run during Wednesday's series finale versus the Royals. Sandy Leon will form a battery with Dylan Bundy and bat ninth.

Stassi isn't starting Friday against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Stassi is in the midst of a slump in which he's gone 0-for-18 with two walks and eight strikeouts over his last five games. He'll be on the bench for a second consecutive matchup while Kurt Suzuki starts behind the plate and bats ninth.
