D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

D'Arnaud will sit for the second time in the four-game series while Mike Zunino logs a turn behind the dish. The backstop has slowed down a bit in August with a .206/.278/.238 slash line across 18 games, but he still appears locked in as the Rays' preferred option behind the dish.

Perez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Perez is batting just .138/.219/.259 in August, but his excellent track record as a defender will continue to make him the Tribe's top option behind the plate. He'll just be getting some maintenance for the afternoon contest after drawing the past two starts at catcher. Kevin Plawecki will fill in for Perez in the series finale.

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

Stallings started the first two games of the series and went 2-for-6 with two runs scored and walk, so he'll take a seat for the finale. Elias Diaz will start behind the plate in his place.

Narvaez went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

Narvaez's fifth-inning blast gave the Mariners a 5-2 lead at the time, but the bullpen was unable to protect that advantage. Narvaez has homered in consecutive games, giving him 19 on the year. The catcher is hitting .287/.361/.473 with 47 RBI and 56 runs scored across 355 at-bats.

Barnes will be optioned once Russell Martin (personal) returns to the team but will be recalled once rosters expand in September, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Barnes was recalled Saturday to serve as the team's backup catcher in the absence of Russell Martin. However, Martin is set to return to the team Tuesday, at which point Barnes will be sent back down to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The shuffle will continue, however, once rosters expand Sept. 1, and Barnes will be recalled to serve as the third catcher for the team for the remainder of the campaign.

Bemboom was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Bemboom was sent down in conjunction with fellow catcher Kevan Smith returning from the injured list. In 22 at-bats with the Angels, Bemboom hit only .136 with one home run and three RBI while striking out nine times.

Trevino is out of the lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

Jeff Mathis will start and hit ninth against right-hander Ivan Nova. Trevino has consistently split time with Mathis behind the plate since being called up July 31. The 26-year-old catcher is 4-for-16 with four runs scored in his last five starts and is slashing just .154/.185/.192 in 28 plate appearances against righties.

Nido has been placed on the seven-day injured list after entering concussion protocol, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Nido was hit in the head on the backswing of Josh Donaldson and was forced to exit Friday's contest. He's apparently experienced concussion symptoms since, and he'll head to the injured list. Rene Rivera is expected to join the big-league club in Nido's absence.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Jackson was optioned after the Braves signed Francisco Cervelli. He was just called up Wednesday, but he drew only one start in the three-game span. Jackson has yet to record a hit in 13 major-league at-bats.

Sanchez is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers.

Sanchez will take a seat as the Yankees are playing a day game after Friday night's victory over the Dodgers. Austin Romine will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in his absence.
