Trevino (wrist) is in the Yankees' Grapefruit League linup against the Tigers on Tuesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Trevino was scratched from the lineup after initially being listed but is now back in there. It's the first game since March 9 for the catcher, as he's been battling a sprained wrist.

Jansen went 0-for-3 in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers, dropping his spring batting average to .156 (5-for-32).

The 27-year-old catcher is locked into a spot on the big-league roster and will split time behind the plate with Alejandro Kirk (illness) this season, so his spring numbers don't mean a whole lot. Jansen set new career highs with 15 homers and an .855 OPS in 2022, giving him plenty of appeal as both a later-round catching option and a DFS play on days he gets the start.

Wong (hamstring) has a chance to be part of the Red Sox's Opening Day roster, manager Alex Cora told Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Wong has been out nearly all month with a left hamstring strain, but his last step before returning to games is running the bases and he'll do that Tuesday. With Jorge Alfaro appearing likely to make the club along with Reese McGuire, it's possible the Red Sox will carry three catchers.

Fortes (knee) took batting practice on a back field Tuesday at Marlins camp, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Fortes came out of a split-squad game last week due to tendinitis in his right knee, but it doesn't seem to be an overly serious issue. If healthy, he projects to open the 2023 regular season in a timeshare at catcher in Miami with Jacob Stallings.

Stubbs was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Astros on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Stubbs did some damage in the few chances he was given this spring, going 7-for-13 with a home run. He'll likely start the season at Double-A Corpus Christi.

Trevino (wrist) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers.

The 30-year-old was initially listed behind the plate for Tuesday's contest, but Carlos Narvaez is now starting for the Yankees. It's unclear if Trevino suffered a setback with his sprained right wrist, which has kept him out of spring games for the past week.

Trevino (wrist) is starting at behind the plate and batting eighth in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers.

Manager Aaron Boone said over the weekend that Trevino was scheduled to catch Tuesday and Thursday this week, and the 30-year-old has apparently avoided any setbacks over the past few days. He missed nearly a week of spring action with a right wrist sprain, but it appears he'll be ready for Opening Day next week with no issues.

Herrera could figure into the catching mix for Arizona after Carson Kelly (forearm) was removed from Monday's Cactus League game, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Kelly, projected as Arizona's primary catcher, was hit by a pitch Monday, and the prognosis is pending. He joined presumed backup Gabriel Moreno (hand) on the shelf, although recent reporting suggests it's a minor injury. That leaves Herrera as the healthiest catcher on the 40-man roster. He appeared in 47 games last season, posting a .189/.250/.207 line over 124 plate appearances.

Gomes is batting .286 in Cactus League action with three home runs across 12 games.

Gomes is having a productive spring, while fellow catcher Tucker Barnhart has gone just 2-for-21 to date. The veteran backstops figure to split catching duties this season with Willson Contreras now in St. Louis, though Gomes may be pulling ahead slightly with his superior performance at the plate. He won't be the most exciting fantasy option, but Gomes has had his moments in the past when he's seen consistent playing time, including hitting 14 home runs as recently as 2021.

Murphy was scratched from Monday's Cactus League lineup against Milwaukee due to left forearm tightness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The right-handed hitter was scheduled to catch against the Brewers on Monday, but instead it was Brian O'Keefe who was behind the plate. Murphy has dealt with injuries over the past two seasons, and it's a disappointing development after his strong start to the 2023 Cactus League (.886 OPS, two homers in 34 plate appearances). There should be more clarity on the severity of Murphy's injury in the coming days. If the injury was to carry into the regular season, Cooper Hummel would likely be Cal Raleigh's backup backstop.
