Sullivan went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over Cincinnati.

Sullivan was the unlikely hero in Wednesday's victory. In his fifth MLB start, the 29-year-old rookie got the Padres' offense started with a two-run double in the second inning before cranking a two-run homer off Alex Young in the fourth. In two at-bats, Sullivan recorded the first extra-base hit, home run and RBI of his major-league career. He's now 4-for-17 with a walk this season. Sullivan could see additional opportunities backing up Austin Nola behind the plate while Luis Campusano (thumb) remains sidelined.

Gomes was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list Wednesday, retroactive to May 2, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Gomes ultimately failed to pass through concussion protocol after taking a backswing to the head in Monday's series opener against the Nationals. Miguel Amaya was called up Tuesday and will share time behind the plate with Tucker Barnhart until Gomes is cleared to return to the Cubs' active roster.

Raleigh is out of the lineup against the Athletics on Wednesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Raleigh will take a seat after going 0-for-2 with a pair of walks in a win for the Mariners over the Athletics on Tuesday. Tom Murphy will handle catching duties and hit sixth.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Though Jansen is on the bench Wednesday, he started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the previous four games and appears to be moving into a quasi-everyday role. With the lefty-hitting Brandon Belt having now hit the bench in two straight matchups against right-handed pitching, Jansen could end up seeing the bulk of the work behind the plate, which would allow Alejandro Kirk to serve mainly as a DH.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Rogers will get a breather after he caught all nine innings and went 0-for-3 at the plate in the opening game of the day. Eric Haase, who served as the Tigers' designated hitter in Game 1, will step in behind the dish for the nightcap.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Trevino will get a breather for the series finale after he started behind the plate both Monday and Tuesday. Kyle Higashioka will form a battery with starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt on Wednesday.

Gomes (head) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

According to Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network, Gomes hasn't yet been diagnosed with a concussion but remains in evaluation after taking a backswing to the head in Monday's series opener. He remains on the Cubs' active roster for now, but the Cubs called up Miguel Amaya from Double-A Tennessee on Tuesday to serve as backup option at catcher behind Tucker Barnhart, who will start Wednesday.

Bethancourt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll take a seat after going 1-for-8 with a home run while catching in both of the past two games. Francisco Mejia will check in behind the plate in place of Bethancourt.

Perez (finger) will start at catcher and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Perez was pulled late in Tuesday's 11-7 loss after getting hit on his left middle finger by a backswing, but he checked out fine after the game and will be back behind the plate a night later.

Vazquez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

The veteran catcher appears to be receiving a routine day off. With Vazquez sitting out, Ryan Jeffers will start behind the plate.
