Manager Rocco Baldelli said Garver (groin) is being evaluated at a local hospital after leaving Tuesday's game and won't "be catching for awhile," Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

The 30-year-old was initially diagnosed with a bruised left groin after being struck by a foul tip during the first inning Tuesday, but it appears he may be dealing with a more serious injury. Garver will be headed to the injured list if his manager's comments prove accurate.

Garver exited Tuesday's game at Baltimore with a left groin contusion, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Garver went 0-for-1 before suffering the injury when struck by a foul tip during the bottom of the first inning, leading to his removal. Ben Rortvedt has taken over behind the plate for the Twins.

Godoy isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Godoy went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Monday's win over Oakland. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat eighth.

Stassi (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Stassi recently completed his four-game rehab assignment and will return from the injured list after missing just under a month. He'll likely reclaim his role as the Angels' primary catcher going forward.

Rogers isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Rogers will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Monday. Eric Haase will start behind the plate and bat sixth.

Jansen isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

Jansen had started three of the last four games, going 1-for-4 with a double, four walks, an RBI and a run during that time. Reese McGuire will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Stassi (concussion) has concluded his four-game rehab assignment, the Associated Press reports.

It appears that Stassi is on the verge of a return to the big club, as manager Joe Maddon stated that the backstop is "ready to go." Stassi has been rehabbing with Triple-A Salt Lake after suffering a concussion in early May.

Grandal is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Grandal will take a seat for the second time in three games, with Zack Collins slated to catch Dylan Cease in Cleveland.

Hedges isn't in the lineup for Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Hedges has gone 0-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts in his last three games. Rene Rivera will start at catcher and bat eighth.

Grandal is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

The veteran backstop was almost certain to get one of Monday's two games off, so he will rest up during the first half of the twin bill. Zack Collins will catch Carlos Rodon in Game 1, with Grandal likely to be behind the dish for Jimmy Lambert's first major-league start in Game 2.
