Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters that Raleigh is currently out of the lineup while dealing with neck spasms, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Raleigh has been out of the lineup the last two games. Servais told reporters that he's unsure if the catcher will be available off the bench. Tom Murphy will get the starts behind the plate while Raleigh recovers.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Texas.

Diaz started the past four contests and will take a seat for Sunday's afternoon game. He went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run in Saturday's 11-5 loss, which brought an end to his seven-game hit streak. Austin Wynns is working behind the plate for the series finale versus the Rangers.

Naylor was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the Guardians' 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Naylor isn't in the starting nine for Sunday's matinee but could be in the lineup for Game 2. The 23-year-old has continued to crush Triple-A pitching this year with nine homers and an .898 OPS through 41 games. For now it appears the young backstop is just up for Sunday's twin bill, but he could receive an extended look in the majors before long with Mike Zunino and Cam Gallagher going a combined 3-for-50 at the plate in May.

Rortvedt went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a 10-inning win against the Reds on Saturday.

A series of injuries stalled Rortvedt from playing after New York acquired him in a trade with Minnesota last March, but he was finally able to make his first appearance as a Yankee on Saturday. The backstop's team debut was a success, as he doubled and scored in his first at-bat and crossed the plate again after singling in his second trip to the plate. Rortvedt will get a chance to make an impression while Jose Trevino (hamstring) is on the IL, and he could feasibly remain on the roster upon Trevino's return if he plays well over that period.

Grandal (hamstring) is hitting fifth and catching against the Royals on Sunday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Grandal returns to the lineup after missing the last two games while resting his hamstring. The switch-hitting backstop will handle catching duties, so Seby Zavala retreats to the bench for Sunday's finale.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader versus Cleveland.

The 21-year-old went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs Friday after missing one game due to some general soreness, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's matinee. Gary Sanchez will work behind the plate in Game 1, and Alvarez is likely to be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

Raleigh is not in the starting lineup against Atlanta on Sunday.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for the second consecutive game. Tom Murphy will get the start at catcher and hit eighth against Jared Shuster and Atlanta on Sunday.

Moreno is out of the starting lineup against the Pirates on Sunday.

Moreno gets a breather against the Pirates on Sunday for the series finale. Jose Herrera gets the start at catcher and is hitting ninth.

Sanchez is hitting eighth and starting behind the plate for the first game of a doubleheader against the Guardians on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Sanchez will be making his first start as a member of the Mets against Tanner Bibee and the Guardians. The two-time All-Star will handle catching duties with Francisco Alvarez getting a breather to open the twin billing.

Hedges is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Diamondbacks.

Hedges will get a breather against Merrill Kelly and the Diamondbacks for Sunday's series finale. Jason Delay is starting behind the plate in Hedges' absence and will hit ninth.
