Stassi went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple and three RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

Stassi slammed a solo home run in the fifth inning off Bailey Ober. Prior to Sunday, Stassi was batting just .167 over his last seven days. He nearly doubled his weekly hit total, reaching base safely three times. The catcher is slashing .299/.377/.526 with eight long balls, 20 RBI and 28 runs scored in 154 plate appearances.

Sanchez (back) went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

In the eighth inning, Sanchez hit just the second triple of his major-league career before he scored on a Gleyber Torres single. Sanchez ended up missing just one game after dealing with back spasms. The catcher is slashing .219/.333/.470 with 17 home runs, 37 RBI, 40 runs scored and 10 doubles in 294 plate appearances.

Collins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Collins will receive a breather after he started in each of the White Sox's past five games, catching in four of them while serving as a designated hitter in the other. Seby Zavala will get a turn behind the dish in Collins' stead.

Raleigh is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics.

Raleigh started the past two games and will take a seat for Sunday's afternoon affair. Tom Murphy will work behind the plate for Seattle.

Stubbs was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Stubbs was promoted by Houston on Monday and received one at-bat during his time with the team. He'll return to the minors with Martin Maldonado and Jason Castro healthy.

Haase is starting at catcher and batting third in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Haase got a breather Saturday but is set to return Sunday, with Grayson Greiner heading to the bench. Jake Rogers (forearm) has been shut down for the foreseeable future, so Haase should continue to work primarily behind the plate, though he's played outfield this year too. The team will likely find him regular days off as he acclimates to the rigors of catching more regularly.

Rortvedt was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

The 23-year-old joined the Twins on Thursday but will make a quick return to the minors with Mitch Garver back from the paternity list. Rortvedt is unlikely to rejoin the big-league roster while Garver and Ryan Jeffers remain healthy.

Garver was activated from the paternity list Sunday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Garver spent the past few days away from the team to be with his family following the birth of his son. He should reclaim starting duties behind the plate now that he's back, though Ryan Jeffers will start Sunday's series finale versus the Angels.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Houston.

Trevino was activated from the injured list Friday and made his first start since late June on Saturday, but he's back on the bench a day later. Jonah Heim will start Sunday as the pair may split playing time behind the plate.

Hedges is out of the lineup Sunday versus Tampa Bay.

Hedges started the last three games and will take a seat after going 1-for-9 with a sacrifice fly and four strikeouts. The 28-year-old appears to have taken over the starting role at catcher from Roberto Perez, who starts Sunday, but neither backstop has done enough offensively to earn much job security.
