Garver went 1-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in a 7-2 win against the Angels on Wednesday.

The veteran has hit a homer in each of his past three games, raising his total to six long balls on the season. He's reached base safely in 14 straight contests, slashing .283/.328/.623 with five home runs and eight RBI over that stretch.

Trevino is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Huff is starting at first base and batting seventh Wednesday against the Angels.

The Rangers will have all three of their catchers in the lineup Wednesday, with Huff making his first major-league start at first base, Jonah Heim behind the plate and Mitch Garver at designated hitter. Huff has appeared in only seven games so far in 2022 and is 10-for-23 with three RBI, two runs and a stolen base, and he could see more action at first base against left-handed pitching when Nathaniel Lowe is on the bench.

Gallo (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.

The 28-year-old has been sidelined nearly a week while battling the ailment, but he'll rejoin the active roster Wednesday while Giancarlo Stanton (calf) heads to the injured list. Gallo has a .171/.306/.390 slash line with three home runs, four RBI and six runs through 41 at-bats in May.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Murphy is carrying a six-game hitting streak but has caught in each of the Athletics' last five games, so he'll be getting some routine maintenance in the series finale in Seattle. Christian Bethancourt will be behind the plate Wednesday in his stead.

Trevino went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk and three total RBI in Tuesday's 7-6, extra-innings win against Baltimore.

He then provided the game-winning run with a single to left field in the bottom of the 11th. Trevino has started three of the past four games for the Yankees, and he's gone 5-for-11 with four RBI over that stretch.
