Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Dingler appears to be getting a routine breather as the Tigers close out their series in Kansas City. Jake Rogers will step in behind the plate and will form a battery with starting pitcher Tarik Skubal.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe started the previous three games but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-11 with a walk and one run. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Jose Soriano.

Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Wells will get a chance to catch his breath after he started behind the dish in the first two games of the weekend while going 3-for-8 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and an additional run. Ben Rice will handle catching duties for the Yankees in the finale.

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

Torrens will rest after starting the previous two contests and going 1-for-7 with a home run, a walk and three RBI. Hayden Senger will step in behind the dish Sunday and bat ninth.

Narvaez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 10-3 loss to the Pirates.

Narvaez evened the game at 1-1 in the third inning with his 12th home run of the season. After overtaking the primary catching job from Connor Wong in the first half, Narvaez has cooled off significantly. He's slashing .167/.213/.337 over 24 games since the All-Star break.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

After starting behind the plate in both of the first two games of the series, Naylor will get some rest for the finale. Austin Hedges will handle catching duties for the Guardians on Sunday.

Wells went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against the White Sox in a 5-3 extra-innings victory Saturday.

Wells broke a 1-1 tie with a 410-foot shot in the seventh inning. The third-year backstop has been perking up in the power department of late -- he's gone deep twice in his past three games and four times across his past eight contests. While Wells is still slashing a paltry .210/.267/.429 on the season, he's tied for fifth among MLB catchers with 19 long balls and is sixth at the position with 61 RBI.

Kirk is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Brewers.

Kirk went 1-for-7 with a walk and a double while starting the first two games of the series and will take a seat for Sunday's finale. Tyler Heineman will do the catching for Max Scherzer while batting eighth.

Crooks is starting behind the plate and batting eighth Sunday against the Reds.

The 24-year-old will make the first start of his MLB career after being called up by the Cardinals on Friday. It technically won't be his MLB debut, however, since he entered as a defensive replacement without receiving an at-bat in Friday's contest. Crooks is one of St. Louis' top prospects and posted a .272/.336/.437 slash line with 14 homers in 99 games for Triple-A Memphis this year.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Will Banfield will step in behind the dish while Trevino receives a breather for the series finale. Trevino started at catcher in each of the Reds' previous five games, going 2-for-13 with a walk during that stretch.
