    Rangers' Jose Trevino: Dealing with sore hip

    Manager Chris Woodward said Sunday that Trevino is dealing with a sore hip but that the issue does not appear to be serious, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

    Trevino is not in the starting lineup Sunday, with Jonah Heim set to work behind the plate for the second day in a row. Based on Woodward's comments, the hip issue doesn't appear to be something that will sideline Trevino well beyond Sunday, so he can be considered day-to-day going forward.

    Rangers' Jose Trevino: Sitting second straight

  • Omar Narvaez C | HOU

    Brewers' Omar Narvaez: Resting Sunday

  • Austin Nola C | COL

    Padres' Austin Nola: Showing improvement

    Nola (knee) is experiencing less swelling and has shown better mobility, and he could ramp up his baseball activities soon, the Associated Press reports.

    Nola went on the injured list May 28 due to what was termed a "light" knee sprain, but it sounds like he hasn't been able to do much in term of baseball activities to this point. However, there remains a chance that he could return to the big club by the end of June if he is indeed able to start ramping up in the near future. Victor Caratini has been filling in as the Padres' primary catcher in Nola's absence.

  • Braves' William Contreras: Gets maintenance day

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

    Contreras will rest for the day game after a night game, allowing Kevan Smith to get a turn behind the plate. The rookie backstop is slashing .240/.313/.460 with six home runs, 20 RBI and 14 runs in 31 games since joining Atlanta in early May.

  • Blue Jays' Reese McGuire: Takes seat Sunday

    McGuire is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    McGuire will head to the bench after catching in both of the Blue Jays' last two games while going 2-for-6 with a solo home run, a double and three runs. Riley Adams will be behind the plate Sunday, but McGuire looks like Toronto's clear No. 1 backstop for the time being.

  • Yan Gomes C | CHC

    Nationals' Yan Gomes: Idle Sunday

    Gomes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
