Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers with left hamstring cramps.

The 28-year-old went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run before being replaced behind the plate for the bottom of the sixth inning. It appears to be a minor injury, though that doesn't necessarily mean Sanchez will be back in the lineup Wednesday.

Garver (knee) is not starting Tuesday against the White Sox but is unlikely to go on the injured list, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

A right knee contusion took Garver out of Monday's blowout loss, but it appears to be nothing more than a minor injury for the Minnesota catcher. Garver has struggled with just eight hits and four RBI since the start of May.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Trevino receives the day off after going 1-for-3 with an RBI on Monday against the Yankees. Jonah Heim gets the start at catcher and will bat ninth.

Mejia will sit Tuesday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mejia returned from an intercostal strain Sunday and started right away, but he won't be in the lineup on an everyday basis. He and Mike Zunino split time behind the plate fairly evenly prior to Mejia's injury and will continue to do so going forward.

Murphy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Tigers on Monday.

The veteran backstop was responsible for the Mariners' only run of the night in a surprisingly poor offensive effort against a lowly Detroit squad. His long ball represents one of the few bright spots for Murphy in May, as he's hitting just .120 (3-for-25) across eight games this month.

Haase went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Monday's 4-1 win over Seattle.

Haase had just one homer in 65 career plate appearances entering Monday's game. He opened the game's scoring with a solo shot in the second before adding an insurance run with another homer in the ninth. He's 5-for-17 with four extra-base hits since being promoted from Triple-A Toledo.

Garver left Monday's game against the White Sox due to a right knee contusion, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Garver is being considered day-to-day following the injury. He'll likely be re-evaluated Tuesday morning before the team provides another update on the backstop's status.

Garver was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to a right knee injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Garver took a foul ball off his right knee early in the contest, and he was ultimately pulled after three frames. He was replaced behind the dish by Willians Astudillo (hand), who is also banged up at the moment.

Murphy went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Twins on Sunday.

Murphy boosted his average back over the Mendoza Line for the first time since May 8 with Sunday's multi-hit effort, his fifth of the season. The backstop has now hit safely in four consecutive starts, with three of his five hits during that stretch going for extra bases (two doubles, one home run).

Plawecki went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Angels.

Plawecki had been on the bench in each of the last six contests, but he had a solid day at the plate Sunday and blasted his first home run of 2021. The 30-year-old should continue to serve mainly in a depth role behind Christian Vazquez going forward.
