Trevino (wrist), who is not in Sunday's lineup, could go on the injured list Tuesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

He has been slow to recover from this wrist injury, and it sounds like he will hit the shelf officially when the team activates Willie Calhoun on Tuesday. Jeff Mathis will start behind the dish and hit ninth Sunday.

Perez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Twins.

With Cleveland carrying three catchers, Perez's workload has been cut slightly. Sandy Leon will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Perez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Perez is 5-for-20 with two doubles, two walks and five strikeouts in nine games this month. Kevan Smith will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Murphy went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in the second game of a doubleheader against the Rangers on Saturday.

Murphy was out of the lineup for the early game Saturday but was a key contributor in the second contest. He delivered a two-run single in the second inning and came around to score later that frame. Murphy has now reached base multiple times in three of his last four starts, collecting six hits and six walks in that span. Overall this season, he is hitting .247/.374/.449 across 107 plate appearances.

Grandal went 1-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and three runs scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Grandal reached base a total of three times and came around to score on each occasion. He has swung the bat well of late, as he now has a seven-game hitting streak during which he's collected 10 hits in 26 at-bats to go along with two home runs, eight RBI and nine runs scored.

Trevino (wrist) is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the A's.

Trevino hasn't seen the field since exiting Wednesday's contest against the Angels with a sprained left wrist. Sam Huff will start behind the plate in the nightcap.

Jansen is not starting Saturday against the Mets.

Jansen has hit a very poor .146/.294/.303 on the season. His playing time could take a hit down the stretch depending on whether Alejandro Kirk, who makes his big-league debut behind the plate Saturday, has success as he makes the jump up from High-A.

Vazquez is not in the lineup Saturday against the Rays.

Vazquez has seen his numbers fall off from his career-best .797 OPS last season, though his .718 this year is an acceptable mark for a catcher. Kevin Plawecki will start behind the plate in his absence.

Trevino (wrist) is not in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland.

Trevino left Wednesday's game against the Angels after spraining his left wrist and hasn't played since then. Whether or not he'll return to the lineup for the nightcap remains to be seen. Jeff Mathis will start behind the plate in his absence.

Murphy will sit Saturday against the Rangers.

Murphy and Jonah Heim have alternated turns behind the plate over the last six games. Heim takes his turn in this one, though Murphy should return Sunday if the pattern continues.
