Trevino is not starting Wednesday against the Yankees.

Trevino has been moving into the starting catching role for the Rangers, getting the nod in four out of five games heading into Wednesday's contest. Jeff Mathis starts behind the plate on this occasion.

Sanchez will sit Wednesday against the Rangers.

Sanchez has an excellent 1.393 OPS with five homers over his last seven games. He'll get a rest Wednesday, with Austin Romine starting behind the plate.

Garver (jaw) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Normally, Garver would be leading off with a lefty (Eduardo Rodriguez) due up for the opposition, but he's still dealing with the effects of a foul tip to the mask. He emerged from Monday's game with a sore jaw but is considered day-to-day. Willians Astudillo will catch Wednesday with Max Kepler atop the batting order.

Gallagher remains on the bench Wednesday against Detroit.

Gallagher was activated from the injured list Sunday but has yet to start a game. During that span, Nick Dini has started once while Meibrys Viloria has gotten the call twice, including Wednesday's contest.

Murphy will make his major-league debut either Wednesday or Thursday against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The rookie backstop was called up immediately upon roster expansion last Sunday and apparently won't have to wait long to make his highly anticipated big-league debut. Murphy worked around a pair of knee injuries this past minor-league season to slash .308/.386/.625 with 17 extra-base hits (six doubles, one triple, 10 home runs) and 30 RBI across 140 plate appearances with Triple-A Las Vegas.

McCann went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Indians.

McCann took Carlos Carrasco deep in the eighth inning to tie the game at five. He now has 16 home runs for the season, though he's gone through a cold patch by recording just two hits across his last 26 at-bats. While his batting average has sunk from .294 to .274 since Aug. 18, McCann is still producing at a career-best rate at the plate by nearly any measure.

Perez went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI against the White Sox on Tuesday.

Perez's availability was in question for Tuesday after he exited Monday's contest early with a foot contusion. However, he showed no ill effects in his return, smacking a three-run homer in the seventh inning. He now has 22 home runs on the season, nearly tripling his previous career-high.

Sanchez went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Yankees.

Sanchez delivered his second two-homer game in the last four contests, bringing his season total to a career-high 34 home runs. The 26-year-old has a .237/.313/.543 slash line with 58 runs scored and 74 RBI in 99 games this season.

Bemboom was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Bemboom has gotten into 13 games for the Rays and Angels this season, struggling to a .185/.185/.333 slash line. He'll likely serve as the third catcher behind Max Stassi and Kevan Smith down the stretch.

D'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 loss to the Orioles in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Serving as the designated hitter, d'Arnaud provided the Rays with a 2-0 lead with a 427-foot blast to center in the fourth inning off Ty Blach, his third homer in his last six games. The 30-year-old has generated a solid .254/.320/.460 slash line and d'Arnaud has 58 RBI in 291 at-bats this season.
