Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Caratini had started in four of the Astros' last five games, but he appears set to fade into a part-time role in the final week of the regular season. With Isaac Paredes returning from the 60-day injured list Friday but likely to be limited to the designated-hitter role for the foreseeable future while he recovers from a hamstring injury, the Astros won't have regular room in the lineup for Caratini.

Rivero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

After starting five times in six games from last Friday through Thursday, Rivero has moved into the backup role at catcher with Logan O'Hoppe recently making his return from the 7-day injured list. Expect Rivero to see light playing time over the final week of the season.

Kirk is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Kirk will get a routine breather after he had started at catcher in the last two contests. Tyler Heineman will fill in behind the dish in the series finale.

Langeliers is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus Pittsburgh.

Langeliers will get at least a partial day off his feet after starting at catcher four of the past five days. Willie MacIver is getting a turn behind the plate for the series finale against the Pirates.

Fortes went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Saturday against the Red Sox.

Fortes started his second straight game behind the plate and has now been in the lineup in eight of the Rays' last 13 games. He has hit .286 with four RBI and two runs scored in that span, which could be enough to maintain a playing time advantage over Hunter Feduccia for the final week of the regular season.

Pereda isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Pereda will stay put in the dugout to begin Saturday's nightcap after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Game 1. Mickey Gasper will replace him as Minnesota's backstop and bat eighth.

Naylor isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Minnesota.

Naylor will catch his breath during the nightcap after going 2-for-3 with a walk and two solo home runs during a win in the early game. Austin Hedges will start behind the dish and bat ninth in Naylor's stead.

Wells isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

Wells will get some rest Saturday after going 5-for-10 with two RBI and three runs scored over his last four contests. Ben Rice will start behind the dish instead, clearing the way for Paul Goldschmidt to start at first base.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with four RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over Minnesota.

Naylor matched a career high in RBI, extending his hitting streak to seven games as well. The catcher is also riding a four-game RBI streak, during which he's totaled 10 of his 42 RBI for the season. Naylor is certainly getting hot at the right time for the playoff-hopeful Guardians, batting .302 over 43 at-bats in the month of September despite hitting a dismal .191 for the campaign.

Dingler is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus Atlanta.

It's a routine day off after Dingler started at catcher each of the previous five contests. Jake Rogers will be behind the dish and bat ninth for the Tigers on Friday.
