  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Receiving break Sunday

    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Langeliers started the previous 12 games but will receive a day off after posting a .130/.259/.304 slash line during that span. Jonah Heim is starting behind the plate and batting fifth for the series finale versus New York.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Rangers' Danny Jansen: Getting rest Sunday

    Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Jansen will get a routine breather after starting behind the plate in the first two games of the series. Kyle Higashioka will handle catching duties for the Rangers on Sunday.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: On bench against righty

    Quero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Quero has been heating up of late at the dish, going 6-for-16 with a home run, three walks, seven runs and five RBI over his last six games. However, he'll head to the bench Sunday for the fourth time in the White Sox's last five matchups against right-handed starters, so he may not have reclaimed primary catching duties from Drew Romo just yet.

  • Joe Mack C | MIA

    Marlins' Joe Mack: Idle Sunday

    Mack is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Mack will receive a breather after starting behind the plate in the first two contests of the series. Liam Hicks will fill in for Mack as the starting catcher.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Taking seat Sunday

    Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    The absence ends a run of 24 consecutive starts for Dingler, who posted a .191/.194/.416 slash line with five doubles, five homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs during that span. Jake Rogers will step in behind the plate Sunday while Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) serves as the DH in his return from the injured list.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Receiving rest Sunday

    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Stephenson will be handed a routine day off after he started behind the plate in each of Cincinnati's last five games. P.J. Higgins will handle catching duties for the Reds in the series finale.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Getting breather Sunday

    Contreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Contreras started the previous six games and will receive Sunday off after posting a .554 OPS with two doubles, four RBI and two runs during that stretch. Gary Sanchez will step in behind the plate and bat sixth in the series finale for Milwaukee.

  • Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Heading to bench Sunday

    Rodriguez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Rodriguez will hit the bench Sunday after starting three of the past four games while going 1-for-7 with five walks, a stolen base and two runs. Though Henry Davis will handle catching duties in the series finale, Rodriguez may have inched ahead of him on the depth chart while Joey Bart (foot) is sidelined.

  • Sandy Leon C | ATL

    Braves' Sandy Leon: On bench Sunday

    Leon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    After starting Saturday's 5-2 win and going 0-for-2 with a strikeout, Leon will hit the bench for the series finale. The veteran backstop has settled into a timeshare with Chadwick Tromp, and as both are valued mainly for their defensive abilities, neither offers much fantasy value while Atlanta covers for the absence of Drake Baldwin (oblique).

  • Twins' Victor Caratini: Handed day off

    Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    He'll receive a breather after he started behind the plate each of the last three days while going 3-for-10 with a double, two walks and two RBI. Alex Jackson will replace Caratini as the Twins' starting catcher in the series finale.
