Wong went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

Wong's fourth-inning sacrifice fly plated Boston's fourth run and produced the catcher's first RBI of the season in his 29th game. Monday's start was the second in three games for Wong, who's lost the starting job to Carlos Narvaez and is batting .157 (11-for-70) with a .416 OPS.

Ruiz (head) was taken to a local hospital for a CT scan after leaving Monday's game against the Padres, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Ruiz was struck by a foul ball while in the dugout and sent for further evaluation after a lump formed on the left side of his head, per Zuckerman. Riley Adams would be in line for more chances behind the plate if Ruiz is forced to miss time.

Ruiz was removed from Monday's game against the Padres after suffering an apparent head injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Ruiz was in the dugout when he was struck by a foul ball off the bat of teammate Josh Bell in the top of the fourth inning. Ruiz was later replaced by Riley Adams.

Quero was ejected from Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports. He went 1-for-3 with a double before exiting.

Quero struck out looking in the bottom of the sixth inning and had some words for the umpire afterward, resulting in his removal from the matchup. Despite an early exit, he managed to pick up his first base knock since Tuesday and his first extra-base hit since May 26.

Amaya (oblique) has started a hitting program, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Amaya began a throwing program June 15, and he has now started to do work from the plate as well. Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that the team is targeting a return for the catcher around the All-Star break. Amaya has been on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique injury since May 24, but he appears to be on the cusp of launching a minor-league rehab assignment.

Kelly is starting at catcher and batting sixth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.

After getting a breather Sunday, Kelly will return to the lineup to face lefty starter Matthew Liberatore in St. Louis. Kelly's current backup, Reese McGuire, launched his fourth home run of the year Sunday in only 12 games, while Kelly has been slumping recently. The latter should remain Chicago's top catcher as long as Miguel Amaya (oblique) is sidelined, but McGuire could carve out a larger role in the short term if he stays hot and Kelly continues to struggle.

Narvaez is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Angels on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Narvaez will take a seat after going 2-for-10 with one double and five strikeouts in two starts during the Red Sox's three-game weekend road series against the Giants. Connor Wong will serve behind home plate and bat eighth.

Maldonado is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Nationals on Monday.

Maldonado will take a seat while Elias Diaz serves behind home plate and bats ninth. Maldonado has gone 6-for-31 (.194) with one home run, two RBI and 17 strikeouts since the beginning of June.

O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

It appears to be a routine day off for O'Hoppe, who started at catcher in each of the previous two contests. Travis d'Arnaud will be behind the dish and bat fifth for the Halos in the series opener.

The Diamondbacks designated Garcia for assignment Monday.

The signing of veteran catcher James McCann was made official Monday, so Garcia's presence is no longer required. Garcia accepted an outright assignment by the Diamondbacks earlier this month and could do so again, assuming he clears waivers.
