D'Arnaud (neck/shoulder) is back in the lineup Sunday against Toronto, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

D'Arnaud left Thursday's game with neck and shoulder tightness and was on the bench for each of the last two games, though he appeared as a pinch hitter Saturday. He'll feature from the start Sunday, catching and batting sixth.

Collins made his fourth start in the last five games and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.

White Sox management is following through on their stated desire to give Collins regular work over the final month. He started at catcher, the first time behind the plate since his most recent callup, on a day when White Sox pitchers threw three wild pitches and issued nine walks. He's expected to get a few more starts behind the plate before the end of the season, and Collins will continue to get opportunities at first base and designated hitter. The 24-year-old is just 2-for-12 since rejoining the parent club and was 2-for-26 during his initial stint in June-July.

Garver went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Indians.

Garver provided an early lead with his first-inning solo shot and then came through again in the seventh with a three-run blast to put the Twins ahead for good. The 28-year-old continued his breakout campaign and has a .275/.364/.634 slash line with 28 home runs and 61 RBI in only 313 plate appearances.

Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a two-run double, two walks and two runs scored in a 5-1 victory over Boston on Saturday.

Serving as the clean-up hitter, Sanchez got the Yankees on the board with a fourth-inningdouble to right field that drove in two. The 26-year-old has delivered 34 homers and 76 RBI and is slashing .237/.320/.542 in 380 at-bats this season.

D'Arnaud (neck/shoulder) could make a pinch-hit appearance Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

D'Arnaud was dinged up behind the plate Thursday and manager Kevin Cash decided the backstop could use an extra day off, though it sounds like d'Arnaud is fine for the most part. While he's cooled down after a red-hot month of July, d'Arnaud still ranks among the top 10 catchers in earned value this season.

Nola is not starting Saturday against Houston, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Even with a two-homer game Thursday, Nola is still hitting just .149/.255/.298 over his last 14 contests. Daniel Vogelbach will start at first base Saturday, with Omar Narvaez serving as the designated hitter.

Narvaez (back) will return to the lineup as a designated hitter Saturday against the Astros, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Narvaez hadn't been in the lineup since Sunday while battling back spasms. He's apparently still not ready to catch but has been cleared to hit. Tom Murphy will catch Yusei Kikuchi on Saturday.

Trevino is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore.

The Rangers have alternated between one start for Jeff Mathis and two for Trevino over the last 10 games. Mathis takes his turn behind the plate Saturday.

Jansen is out of the lineup against the Rays on Saturday.

Jansen appears to have lost his role down the stretch, as he's started just four of the last 11 games behind the plate. Reese McGuire gets the nod Saturday in his absence.

D'Arnaud (neck/shoulder) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

D'Arnaud left Thursday's game with neck and shoulder tightness and did not appear in Friday's contest. Mike Zunino starts behind the plate Saturday.
