Gomes is not in the lineup against Texas on Wednesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Gomes will receive a breather after going 2-for-6 with one run scored during Tuesday's loss in extras. In his absence, Roberto Perez will catch Corey Kluber and bat eighth.

Vazquez is not in the lineup against Kansas City on Wednesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Vazquez will hit the bench following a pair of starts, including a 1-for-6 night during Tuesday's extra-inning loss. In his stead, Sandy Leon will handle the catching duties in Wednesday's matinee.

Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

Sanchez came up in the ninth with two runners on and no score, and launched a home run to center off Astros closer Ken Giles. Sanchez now has eight homers and 27 RBI, both of which lead all MLB catchers. His .214 batting average and .277 on-base percentage are quite low, but he is providing plenty of run production.

Hedges was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with right elbow tendinitis.

Hedges was removed from Monday's game in the second inning with elbow tendinitis, and the issue has since been deemed serious enough to require a stay on the disabled list. It's still unclear if he'll be able to return from the DL when first eligible May 11. Raffy Lopez was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move and should split catching duties with A.J. Ellis until Hedges is healthy.

General manager Sandy Alderson said Plawecki (hand) will probably be sidelined for at least another two weeks, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Plawecki recently resumed throwing, but according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, his grip strength still hasn't improved, leaving him at least a couple of weeks away from rejoining the Mets. An updated timetable for his return should emerge once he's able to ramp up his activity. In the meantime, Tomas Nido and Jose Lobaton will split duties behind the dish.

Contreras is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

Contreras plays very frequently for a catcher -- this marks just his fifth absence so far this season. He's hitting a solid .264/.350/.418, though the fact that he has just one home run is disappointing for his fantasy owners. Victor Caratini will get the start behind the plate Tuesday.

Realmuto went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Monday's win over the Phillies.

He's now hit safely in nine straight games and 10 of 11 since coming off the disabled list, giving Realmuto a robust .357/.426/.667 slash line. He'll cool down eventually, but his consistent spot near the top of the Marlins' order should allow the 27-year-old to remain one of the few reliable fantasy assets in the team's lineup.

Hedges was removed in the second inning of Monday's game against the Giants due to elbow tendinitis, Dennis Lin of The Athletic San Diego reports.

Hedges' elbow was bothering him early in the game, so he was replaced by A.J. Ellis in the second inning. He shouldn't be forced to miss significant time and will be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Trevino was placed on the 7-day disabled list Sunday at Double-A Frisco due to a right quadriceps strain, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Trevino is eligible to return from the DL as soon as May 6, though it's unclear if he's on pace to be ready by that point. The 25-year-old catcher is batting .184/.250/.224 across 84 plate appearances with Frisco on the campaign.
