  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Rangers' Jose Trevino: Could land on IL

    Trevino (wrist), who is not in Sunday's lineup, could go on the injured list Tuesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

    He has been slow to recover from this wrist injury, and it sounds like he will hit the shelf officially when the team activates Willie Calhoun on Tuesday. Jeff Mathis will start behind the dish and hit ninth Sunday.

  • Indians' Roberto Perez: Sitting Sunday

    Perez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Twins.

    With Cleveland carrying three catchers, Perez's workload has been cut slightly. Sandy Leon will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

  • Rays' Michael Perez: Heads to bench Sunday

    Perez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox.

    Perez is 5-for-20 with two doubles, two walks and five strikeouts in nine games this month. Kevan Smith will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Remains out Game 1

    Realmuto (hip) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Realmuto exited Saturday's contest during the eighth inning with hip discomfort, and it remains unclear if he'll be available for either of Sunday's contests. However, the fact the Phillies didn't promote a catcher when announcing roster moves early in the day could bode well for his outlook. Andrew Knapp will start behind the plate in the matinee.

  • Omar Narvaez C | HOU

    Brewers' Omar Narvaez: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Narvaez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.

    Narvaez hasn't started back-to-back games in nearly two weeks as he continues to struggle with a .583 OPS and 31.1 percent strikeout rate. Jacob Nottingham receives the start behind the plate for Milwaukee, batting ninth.

  • Reds' Tucker Barnhart: Not starting Sunday

    Barnhart is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Barnhart walked in both his plate appearances Saturday and will return to the bench for the series finale. Tyler Stephenson will start behind the plate and bat sixth Sunday for the Reds.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Athletics' Sean Murphy: Drives in pair

    Murphy went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in the second game of a doubleheader against the Rangers on Saturday.

    Murphy was out of the lineup for the early game Saturday but was a key contributor in the second contest. He delivered a two-run single in the second inning and came around to score later that frame. Murphy has now reached base multiple times in three of his last four starts, collecting six hits and six walks in that span. Overall this season, he is hitting .247/.374/.449 across 107 plate appearances.

  • White Sox's Yasmani Grandal: Scores three runs

    Grandal went 1-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and three runs scored Saturday against the Tigers.

    Grandal reached base a total of three times and came around to score on each occasion. He has swung the bat well of late, as he now has a seven-game hitting streak during which he's collected 10 hits in 26 at-bats to go along with two home runs, eight RBI and nine runs scored.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Leaves with hip discomfort

    Realmuto was removed from Saturday's win over the Marlins with hip discomfort, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

    The 29-year-old went 0-for-4 with two runs and a walk before suffering the injury running to first base during the eighth inning. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, and Realmuto will be further evaluated Sunday.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Rangers' Jose Trevino: Remains out for nightcap

    Trevino (wrist) is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the A's.

    Trevino hasn't seen the field since exiting Wednesday's contest against the Angels with a sprained left wrist. Sam Huff will start behind the plate in the nightcap.
