Wong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Wong will take a seat for the third time in four games and may be the Red Sox's No. 2 catcher behind Reese McGuire at this point. Upon joining Boston as a Sept. 1 call-up from Triple-A Worcester, Wong went 3-for-12 with two extra-base hits and three walks in his first six games with Boston, but he's since slashed .200/.200/.267 with a 62.5 percent strikeout rate over his subsequent 10 contests.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI on Sunday against the Padres.

Diaz tallied his 15th double before coming around to score in the first inning, and he also chipped in an RBI single in the eighth frame. It was his first multi-hit performance since Sept. 9, a span of seven starts during which he hit only .138. Diaz is now hitting .234/.289/.383 line across 357 plate appearances on the season.

Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Mets on Sunday, his third straight game with a two-bagger.

The rookie filled in at DH on Sunday and continued to put good wood on the ball after also belting doubles Thursday and Saturday. Langeliers' .211/.233/.386 slash line over his first 120 big-league plate appearances leaves plenty to be desired, but he's now laced 13 of his 24 hits for extra bases.

Vazquez went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over Baltimore.

Vazquez doubled and scored in the third inning before knocking a two-run single in the 11th. It was his second multi-hit game of the month and he's now hitting .143 with three RBI through 12 September appearances. On the year, Vazquez is slashing .274/.316/.394 with 50 RBI and 30 extra-base hits through 113 games.

Raleigh was removed from Sunday's loss to the Royals after aggravating his thumb injury while catching, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Raleigh recently missed four games due to his thumb injury, and the thumb was hit while catching in the bottom of the sixth inning. Manager Scott Servais said that the catcher was OK during strength tests on the field and wanted to stay in, but the team ultimately replaced him in the top of the seventh inning. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Rangers.

Bart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Arizona.

Bart is 1-for-19 with 11 strikeouts over his past eight contests and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Austin Wynns will start behind the plate and bat eighth.

Nola is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Nola went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored Saturday in Colorado, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Luis Campusano will take over behind the plate and bat eighth.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Reds.

Narvaez has a .447 OPS through 12 games in September and will take a seat Sunday with lefty Nick Lodolo pitching for Cincinnati. Victor Caratini will step in behind the plate and bat eighth.

Adams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Miami, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Adams started the first two games of the series and will head to the bench after he went 0-for-7 with two strikeouts. Tres Barrera will take over behind the plate and bat ninth in the finale.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a triple during Saturday's 6-2 victory over St. Louis.

Smith opened the scoring with a solo home run off St. Louis starter Jordan Montgomery in the first inning before adding his third triple of the season in the third. The multi-hit game was the 27-year-old's third in his last four games and he's batting 7-for-16 with a home run and two triples during the current hot streak. Smith's .257 average across 19 September contests represents one of his lowest marks of any month this season, but his .529 slugging is his second-best thanks to half of his 18 hits going for extra bases.
