The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Huff hadn't been receiving much playing time of late as one of three catchers on the active roster and as a reserve first baseman/designated hitter, so the Rangers will send him back to Triple-A to see regular at-bats. Utility man Nick Solak was summoned from Round Rock to replace Huff on the active roster.

Sanchez will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the White Sox, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Sanchez had been starting to lose out on work at designated hitter to begin the past week, but top backstop Ryan Jeffers' (thumb) move to the injured list Friday should pave the way for Sanchez to see steady work behind the dish. He'll be making his third consecutive start at catcher after going 2-for-7 with a walk and a run over the past two contests.

Murphy, who went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Astros on Saturday, is now carrying a .360/.393/.540 slash line across 56 plate appearances in 13 July games.

The hot-hitting backstop's torrid stretch includes six doubles, a home run, six RBI, two walks and seven runs. Murphy has a quartet of multi-hit efforts as well during the current month, and he's managed to reach safely in all but one game.

Heim will sit Sunday against the Mariners.

Heim will get a breather after he went 3-for-12 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in the first three games of the series. Meibrys Viloria is starting at catcher and batting ninth in the final game before the All-Star break.

Haase is starting at catcher and batting fourth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Haase will be starting behind the plate for the second straight day, and it looks like he's overtaken Tucker Barnhart as the Tigers' primary catcher. Haase certainly offers more power potential, as he has seven home runs and a .433 slugging percentage across 57 games, while Barnhart has no home runs and a .243 slugging percentage across 59 games.

Trevino is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the Red Sox.

Trevino will get a day off after he went 1-for-5 in Saturday's victory over the Red Sox. Kyle Higashioka will take over behind the plate and bat ninth in the Yankees' final contest before the All-Star break.

Maldonado went 1-for-3 with the third grand slam of his career Saturday in the Astros' 5-0 win over the Athletics.

The veteran catcher's second-inning long ball with the bases loaded proved to be the decisive play Saturday, as right-hander Justin Verlander (six shutout innings) and the Houston bullpen kept the Oakland bats quiet throughout the night. Maldonaodo is now up to nine home runs of the season, putting him within striking distance of the career-high 14 he slugged in 2017 with the Angels.

Rutschman went 1-for-1 with a solo homer run and a sacrifice fly in an extra-innings victory versus Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Rutschman didn't start the contest, but he was called upon to pinch hit with Baltimore down one run in the eighth inning. The backstop came through with a solo shot to right field to tie the score, and he put Baltimore on top with a sacrifice fly in the 10th. This was one of Rutschman's best performances in a mostly quiet rookie campaign during which he's slashed .215/.298/.411 with five homers, 15 RBI and one stolen base over 178 plate appearances.

Wong was recalled by the Red Sox on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

It's been a busy week for Wong, who was recalled Monday, sent down Wednesday and now recalled again Saturday. His latest stint on the big-league roster comes as Trevor Story hits the injured list with a bruised right hand. As a catcher, however, Wong isn't a direct replacement for Story, and he could have a tough time finding much playing time with both Christian Vazquez and Kevin Plawecki on the roster.

Jeffers has a small fracture in his right thumb and will be sidelined for at least 6-to-8 weeks, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Jeffers was initially diagnosed with a right thumb contusion when he landed on the 10-day injured list Friday, but he underwent further testing that revealed a fracture. The 25-year-old is unlikely to be available to return to game action until at least September, and he'll presumably require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Twins. Gary Sanchez is in line to serve as Minnesota's primary catcher in Jeffers' absence, while Caleb Hamilton will serve as the No. 2 option behind the dish.
