Trevino is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Trevino was behind the plate for the Yankees' first two games of the season but will receive a breather Sunday after he went 1-for-6 with a run scored. Kyle Higashioka will start at catcher and bat eighth in the series finale against San Francisco.

Bart (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Yankees, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Bart is reportedly undergoing scans after being scratched from Saturday's lineup with tightness in his back, and those results have not yet become public. The backstop sits again for the series finale with Blake Sabol hitting seventh as the starting catcher.

McGuire is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

McGuire will get a day off for the first time in the young season after he started behind the plate in both of Boston's first two games while going 1-for-6 at the dish. The Orioles were successful on 10 of 10 stolen base attempts off McGuire, while the staff ERA was 9.00. Connor Wong will catch for starting pitcher Tanner Houck in the series finale.

Haase is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Haase will be getting his first breather of the 2023 season after he started behind the dish in both of the Tigers' first two contests while going hitless across eight plate appearances. Jake Rogers will step in at catcher in the series finale, forming a battery with starting pitcher Joey Wentz.

Garver went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, a third run scored and six RBI in Saturday's 16-3 rout of the Phillies.

After slugging a three-run shot in the fifth inning off Yunior Marte, Garver did it again in the seventh, this time off Seranthony Dominguez. The power display isn't a surprise, as Garver hit 23 homers in 122 games over the last two seasons with a .233/.330/.463 slash line, but the more important development for his fantasy value was the fact that he was able to play a full game behind the plate Saturday. If the 32-year-old regains catcher eligibility after being limited to 14 games at the position last year due to a forearm injury, his offensive profile becomes a lot more palatable.

Ruiz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 loss to Atlanta.

The catcher took Kirby Yates deep in the ninth inning to ruin Atlanta's combined shutout bid, but it was about the only bright spot on the afternoon for the Nats. Ruiz is off to a good start at the plate, going 4-for-8 with a double and a homer through Washington's first two games. Even if the 24-year-old switch hitter has a breakout campaign, the feeble lineup around him dampens his fantasy potential.

Fortes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss against the Mets.

Fortes turned a one-run deficit into a one-run lead with his swing of the bat in the second inning, but that was all the offense the Marlins would be able to muster. It was his second consecutive start at catcher after Jacob Stallings got the Opening Day nod behind the plate. Fortes showed considerable offensive upside for a catcher last season with nine home runs and five steals in just 240 plate appearances.

Zavala went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Astros.

Zavala got his first start of the year in the White Sox's third game and made the most of it, homering off Jose Urquidy in the fourth inning. He should continue to serve as the White Sox's backup catcher unless Yasmani Grandal gets injured.

Bart was unavailable off the bench for Saturday's contest and he will undergo a scan on his back before Sunday's game against the Yankees, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Bart picked up the injury during batting practice, Kapler said. The backstop should be considered day-to-day until the results of the imaging are available. Roberto Perez got the start in Bart's place Saturday and could be back in the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Yankees.

Stephenson went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

After a 1-for-4 showing in the opener, Stephenson followed up with two more hits Saturday, including his first extra-base knock of the season. He was in the cleanup spot against lefty Rich Hill just as he was Thursday against right-hander Mitch Keller. However, this time he was at first base, and he will continue to get starts at first occasionally even when Joey Votto (shoulder) returns. The Reds need Stephenson's bat in the lineup.
