Garver sits for the second straight game Friday against the Tigers.

Garver's days off come on the back of a stretch of four consecutive starts. Jason Castro remains the starter behind the plate Friday.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Thursday's win over Houston.

D'Arnaud single-handedly accounted for Zack Greinke's worst start as an Astro, torching the All-Star pitcher for a pair of run-scoring singles and a two-run homer. The long ball was d'Arnaud's first in August after he launched eight homers in a splendid July. Overall, the 30-year-old is slashing .253/.320/.447 with 14 home runs and 53 RBI in stints with the Mets, Dodgers and Rays this season.

Trevino is not starting Thursday against the Mariners.

Trevino will give way to Jeff Mathis behind the dish Thursday as the two continue to split time. In 17 appearances since joining Texas, Trevino is hitting just .190 with a .495 OPS and 29.5 percent strikeout rate.

Garver is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Garver is just getting a routine breather after starting behind the plate in the night game Wednesday, when he went 3-for-4 with his 24th home run of the season and two RBI in the Twins' 8-2 win. Jason Castro will spell him at catcher and work in a battery with Jose Berrios.

Perez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

With the series finale beginning at 1:10 p.m. EDT, Perez will take a seat after logging action behind the plate the last two days. He recorded only one hit -- his 21st home run of the season -- in his two starts in Detroit. Kevin Plawecki will spell him behind the dish for the matinee game.

Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in a victory over Seattle on Wednesday.

Sanchez got the Yankees on the board with a 434-foot blast to left field in the first inning. The All-Star leads all catchers with 30 long balls this season and is tied with J.T. Realmuto for the lead among backstops with 69 RBI. He is slashing .234/.308/.518 in 399 plate appearances.

McCann is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins.

McCann has just three hits in his last six games but still has a surprisingly strong .282/.332/.469 slash line on the season. Welington Castillo will start behind the plate in his absence.

Rogers will not start Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

Rogers has just a single hit in his last 10 games, striking out 54.1 percent of the time over that stretch. John Hicks gets the call behind the plate.

D'Arnaud is not starting Wednesday against the Astros, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

D'Arnaud has hit just .189/.237/.226 over his last 15 games. Mike Zunino gets the call behind the plate in his absence.

Perez went 1-for-4 with a home run, walk and two RBI in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Tigers.

Perez's 21 home runs trail only Gary Sanchez (29) and Mitch Garver (23) among all catcher-eligible players, but the 30-year-old's slugging pace has slowed considerably in the second half. The veteran is slashing .165/.248/.322 with five home runs in 34 games since the All-Star break.
