Rays' Francisco Mejia: Takes seat Wednesday
Mejia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
After catching in both of the Rays' past two games, Mejia will get a breather while Rene Pinto checks in behind the dish. With Mike Zunino still stuck on the 10-day injured list and not progressing as quickly as anticipated in his recovery from a left shoulder injury, Mejia looks like he could have a clear path to an extended run as Tampa Bay's No. 1 backstop.

Patrick Mazeika will get a start at catcher Wednesday, but Nido seems to have clearly established himself as the Mets' No. 1 backstop while James McCann (wrist) remains on the injured list.

Wynns went 5-for-15 with a double and a walk while starting at either catcher or designated hitter in five of his first six games with the Giants. However, with No. 1 backstop Curt Casali behind the plate Wednesday after moving past a hamstring injury, Wynns' opportunities are likely to be limited moving forward.
