Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, three runs scored and two walks in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Raleigh belted a two-run shot in the first inning Sunday for his 31st long ball of the year. It was his third straight game with a home run, and he has five over his last five games. The superstar catcher has produced three straight 30-homer seasons and is quickly approaching his career best of 34 set last season. Raleigh is slashing .276/.383/.659 with 45 extra-base hits and 66 RBIs through 75 appearances.

Perez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Padres.

The Kansas City veteran started at designated hitter and notched his 282nd career homer with a 412-foot long ball off San Diego starter Randy Vasquez in the sixth inning. This marks Perez's fifth homer of the month, as he's been productive in June with a .280 average (21-for-75), 14 RBI and seven runs scored across 19 games. Overall, the 35-year-old is slashing .235/.277/.394 with 41 RBI and 19 runs scored through 308 plate appearances.

Fermin will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Fermin will pick up his fourth start in five games and could hold down a semi-regular spot in the lineup while the Royals have been using Salvador Perez more frequently at first base and designated hitter of late. During the past month, Fermin hit .273 over a stretch of 15 games, but he provided limited counting statistics (one home run, no stolen bases, four runs, two RBI).

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Diaz will get a rest day after he went 4-for-24 with no extra-base hits while starting the previous five contests. Victor Caratini will start at catcher and will bat sixth.

Wynns is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Wynns had started behind the dish in the first two games of the series and went 1-for-8 with a double and an RBI, but he'll take a seat for the finale while Willie MacIver receives the nod at catcher. Since being acquired by the Athletics on June 8, Wynns has slashed .179/.207/.464 with two home runs and six RBI.

Handley was removed from Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees in the bottom of the second inning following a collision at home plate and will receive a "full body" evaluation before the Orioles provide a diagnosis for his injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. "He got hit pretty hard. We haven't seen a collision like that at the plate probably since all the new rules came in. So we're evaluating him right now, full body, every part of it," Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said after the game.

After striking out in his lone plate appearance of the day in the top of the second, Handley was forced out of the contest when the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm violently barreled into him as Handley attempted to retrieve a throw down the third-base line and apply a tag. Gary Sanchez had been scheduled to receive Sunday off but ended up catching the rest of the game for the Orioles after Handley couldn't continue. Mansolino noted that Handley's full-body evaluation will include a concussion check.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Jansen will get a breather for the matinee contest after he started behind the plate in three of the Rays' previous four games. Matt Thaiss will handle catching duties for Tampa Bay in the series finale.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Maverick Handley will get the nod behind the plate Sunday, but Sanchez started the previous two contests and is poised to serve as the Orioles' top backstop for the next few weeks with Adley Rutschman (oblique) out through the All-Star break. Sanchez has turned in a .213/.296/.340 slash line with two home runs and 11 RBI in 54 plate appearances on the season, and while that level of production hasn't been impressive, the absence of Rutschman puts Sanchez on the radar as a pickup in fantasy leagues that require two catchers.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Sunday that Rutschman's left oblique strain is considered mild, but the catcher is still expected to remain on the 10-day injured list through the All-Star break, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Rutschman was held out of the lineup for the first two games of this weekend's series versus the Yankees due to what was initially described as abdominal tightness, but he was placed on the IL on Saturday when an MRI confirmed an oblique strain. Even though the backstop's injury is seemingly a Grade 1 strain, the Orioles won't rush him back early and will give him at least four weeks to recover. Gary Sanchez is expected to serve as Baltimore's primary backstop while Rutschman is on the shelf.

Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Cubs.

Raleigh's impressive power surge continued Saturday with a ninth-inning blast, his 30th home run of the season. The catcher has been outstanding, slashing .272/.377/.649 with 44 extra-base hits and 64 RBI through just 74 games, and Raleigh became the first switch hitter in major-league history with 30 long balls before the All-Star break. While Aaron Judge remains the clear favorite for American League MVP, Raleigh has emerged as a strong contender thanks to his elite offensive production and standout defense.
