Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Trevino will sit for the second time in the series, but he's started in three of the Yankees' last five games overall and still appears to be viewed as the team's No. 1 catcher, despite slashing an ugly .205/.239/.318 through his 46 plate appearances on the season. Kyle Higashioka will spell Trevino behind the dish in the series finale.

McGuire underwent X-rays on his right hand Saturday, which came back negative. "It's a little swollen right now, a little bruised," McGuire said.

McGuire took a foul tip off the hand in the eighth inning of Saturday's loss to Milwaukee but stayed in the game. He entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning for Connor Wong, and Boston did not have another catcher available. McGuire added that he'd ice the hand and be ready for Sunday's game.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

With Sunday's series finale beginning at 12:05 p.m. ET, Diaz will get a much-needed breather after catching each of the Rockies' previous three contests. Brian Serven will form a battery with Rockies starting pitcher Jose Urena on Sunday.

Thaiss went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Royals on Saturday.

Thaiss enjoyed a positive night at the plate, scoring the Angels' first run in the third inning and belting a two-run homer to right field in the eighth. The hits were his first of the campaign -- he entered Saturday having gone 0-for-12 through his first six contests. Thaiss is likely to see more time behind the plate with Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) on the injured list and Max Stassi (hip) still not ready to return from his IL stint.

Grandal went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Saturday against the Rays.

Grandal took Shane McClanahan yard in the fifth inning to tally his second homer of the season. It was Grandal's first long ball since Opening Day, though he has nine total extra-base hits across 72 plate appearances to begin 2023. That stands in contrast to last season, when he managed only 12 total extra-base knocks in 376 plate appearances.

McCann went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's victory over the Tigers.

McCann piled on with a solo shot in the fourth inning off Joey Wentz. McCann got the start behind the plate as Adley Rutschman slotted in as the designated hitter. McCann had a miserable .195 batting average last season and hasn't gotten off to a good start in 2023 either, as he's hitting .167 over 18 at-bats in his first season with the Orioles.

Murphy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss against the Astros.

Murphy smacked a solo shot off Framber Valdez in the fourth inning to open the scoring Saturday. The catcher has hit four homers in the last eight games, as his bat has picked up since Travis d'Arnaud suffered a concussion. Murphy is hitting .250, the same average he had in 2022, but his OPS is at 1.033 thanks to the recent power surge.

McGuire is undergoing X-rays on his hand after Saturday's game to the Brewers, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports. He went 0-for-2 in the loss.

McGuire came in as a pinch-hitter for Connor Wong and it's unclear when he picked up the injury during Saturday's contest. The backstop should be considered day-to-day at this point.

Rodriguez is dealing with a strained right forearm, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Rodriguez hit the minor-league injured list Friday with an arm injury, but his exact diagnosis was not yet available. He'll be evaluated Monday in Pittsburgh, at which point a clearer timeline for his recovery should emerge.

Smith (concussion) is not expected to return during the Dodgers' current road trip, which runs through Thursday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Smith has missed 10 days while recovering from a concussion and is expected to miss at least five more. He's reportedly making progress, but it will be Austin Barnes and Austin Wynns who remain the Dodgers' catchers for the conclusion of the weekend series against the Cubs as well as the upcoming series against the Pirates.
