Trevino went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 8-0 win over Kansas City.

Trevino's second-inning double plated the Rangers' first two runs and were all that starter Kyle Gibson would need. The catcher has hits in three of the last four games, but Trevino is batting just .149 (7-for-47) in 16 games since May 30.

Rogers will be on the bench for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Rogers went 0-for-1 with a sacrifice bunt in the first game of the day. Unsurprisingly, he won't be asked to start behind the plate twice in one day, so Eric Haase will take over for him at catcher.

Vazquez isn't starting Saturday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Vazquez had multi-hit efforts in each of his last two games, and he went 4-for-6 with an RBI, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout during that time. He'll get a breather while Connor Wong starts behind the dish and bats ninth.

Kirk (hip) has joined Triple-A Buffalo for a rehab assignment, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Kirk has been playing in games at extended spring training recently, but he'll likely progress to minor-league game action in the near future. The Blue Jays haven't yet indicated when the catcher could return to the major-league roster, but he's eligible to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list as early as July 1.

Hedges isn't starting Saturday's game against the Twins.

Hedges returned from a concussion Thursday and went 3-for-8 with three RBI, a run and a strikeout across the last two games. Rene Rivera will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Murphy isn't starting Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Murphy went 1-for-4 with a double, a hit by pitch, two runs and two strikeouts Friday, but he continues to alternate starts behind the plate. Luis Torrens will start at catcher and bat seventh.

Haase is starting in left field and batting sixth in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros.

Haase has been losing playing time to Jake Rogers behind the plate, but the former is able to play the outfield as well, which gets him into the lineup Saturday. Rogers will start at catcher and bat eighth in the first game Saturday, and Haase could spell him behind the plate for the second contest.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros.

Rogers got a day off Thursday but will re-enter the lineup for Saturday's matinee after Friday's contest was rained out. The 26-year-old seems to have overtaken Eric Haase as the primary catcher in Detroit, as Rogers had started four straight games before his day off Thursday. Haase will occupy left field in the first game Saturday and could spell Rogers behind the plate later in the day.

Maldonado isn't starting Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Maldonado started each of the last three games behind the dish and will get a breather for Saturday's matinee. Jason Castro will start at catcher and bat ninth.

Grandal went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 9-3 loss to Seattle.

Grandal got the White Sox on the board in the second inning with his 12th long ball of the season. The 32-year-old served as the designated hitter Friday -- he's seen a slight majority of the playing time behind the dish, but the White Sox have preferred to keep his bat in the lineup when Zack Collins is the catcher. Grandal is slashing .175/.385/.419 with 30 RBI and 35 runs scored through 219 plate appearances.
