Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

Sanchez will receive a routine breather after starting the past six games, with five of those assignments coming at catcher. He'll give way to Austin Romine behind the plate in the series finale.

McCann went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

McCann's eighth-inning blast was his fifth of the season and snapped a string of 27 straight games without one. It has been natural to wonder if/when McCann, who entered the season a career .240 hitter and is currently batting .320, would regress to his mean. That might be happening now. Since the calendar flipped to June, the 29-year-old backstop is hitting .231 (9-for-39).

Sanchez went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, three RBI, a double and two walks in Saturday's win over the White Sox.

Sanchez put the Yankees on the board in the fourth inning with a two-run double, and he also delivered an RBI groundout in the seventh. The 26-year-old was 0-for-6 in the first two games of the series but came through as a run producer Saturday.

Nola will have his contract selected from Triple-A Tacoma by the Mariners on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Nola signed a minor-league deal with the Mariners in November and will make his way to the majors after slashing .327/.415/.520 in 55 games. According to Corey Brock of The Athletic, the 29-year-old has been playing first base with the Rainiers over the last month, and he could seemingly see some time there with the Mariners after the departure of Edwin Encarnacion.

Perez is not starting Saturday against Detroit, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Perez owns an excellent 1.304 OPS over his last eight games, hitting four home runs over that stretch. His 11 homers on the season are already three more than his previous career high. Kevin Plawecki will start behind the dish in his place.

Vazquez is not in Saturday's lineup against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

After a mini slump, Vazquez has seven hits in his last four games. Sandy Leon will start behind the dish, hitting ninth.

Garver went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 2-0 win over the Royals.

His eighth-inning blast off Jake Diekman accounted for the only offense in a game that featured just six total hits. Garver is now slashing .318/.405/.691 with 11 homers and 28 RBI over 33 games.

Narvaez went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and another pair of runs scored in Friday's 9-2 win over the A's.

Narvaez launched a two-run blast off reliever Wei-Chung Wang in the seventh inning to extend Seattle's lead to 6-2. The homer marked his 10th of the season through 190 plate appearances, surpassing his previous best of nine long balls through 90 additional at-bats in 2018 with the White Sox. Overall, Narvaez is batting .284/.363/.468 with 32 runs scored and 25 RBI.

Perez went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's game against the Tigers.

Perez doubled home a pair of runs in the fourth inning, and he reached base twice more before the night was over. The 30-year-old backstop was 0-for-6 at the dish over his last two contests entering the day, but he managed to show some life with a multi-hit performance.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Maldonado started the last four games behind the plate but will sit for Friday's series opener in Minnesota. Cam Gallagher will catch for Brad Keller and bat eighth in his absence.
