Gosewisch was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Gosewisch hasn't been particularly great for Tacoma, where he owns a .240/.339/.320 batting line over 17 games, but Mike Zunino's struggles were getting to be too much for Mariners brass to handle. The former Diamondbacks catcher will hold down the backup spot until Zunino proves he's ready to handle the show once again. Expect Carlos Ruiz to get most of the starts at catcher over Gosewisch.

Hedges is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Hedges will receive a normal off day while the switch-hitting Hector Sanchez will take his spot behind the plate. The 24-year-old catcher has been solid defensively this season, but he's also struggled with the bat, slashing .182/.232/.420 to go along with six home runs in 96 plate appearances.

D'Arnaud was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a bone bruise in his wrist, Marc Carig of Newsweek reports.

D'Arnaud's injury stems from when he aggravated a previous wrist issue Tuesday. There has not been a timetable established for when he's expected to return. The Mets are hoping that d'Arnaud's injury does not end up sapping any power when he returns like wrist injuries have sometimes been known to do.

Contreras stayed in Friday's game after being involved in a collision along the third-base line, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

Contreras went down after the scary collision with Starlin Castro and it was reported that he left the game, but apparently he's going to tough it out.

Contreras left Friday's game in the sixth inning following a collision near home plate, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

Contreras fielded a throw up the third-base line from Jason Heyward and collided with the Yankees' Starlin Castro, but he held onto the ball for the out. The 24-year-old was also able to walk off the field under his own power. He should be considered day-to-day until there's information to suggest otherwise.

Gomes is not in the lineup Friday against the Royals, 610 Sports Radio KC reports.

Despite coming off consecutive multi-hit games, Gomes will head to the bench as Roberto Perez gets the start behind the dish. Gomes' recent efforts at the plate have brought his slash line to a slightly more respectable .224/.318/.328 through 20 games this season.

Higashioka was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Higashioka simply wasn't getting it done during his brief first stint in the majors, as he was unable to record a single hit in 20 plate appearances. The Yankees will likely want to see some noticeable improvement at the plate at the minor-league level in order for him to have a chance at rejoining the big-league team later on this season.

Sanchez (biceps) is in the Yankees' lineup behind the plate and batting third against the Cubs on Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Sanchez hasn't officially been activated from the disabled list, but the Yankees penciled him in as Friday's starter. As long as he makes it through pregame workouts, he'll be good to go, and Kyle Higashioka will be demoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make roster space, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. Sanchez returns for his first regular-season action since April 8, when he sustained the biceps strain. Fantasy players should throw him back into their lineups as well.

Contreras is back in the lineup for the Cubs on Friday against the Yankees, batting seventh and catching.

The youngster was one of four Cubbies to whom Joe Maddon gave a day off in their Thursday matinee. Contreras will duel with Michael Pineda on Friday afternoon.

Maldonado is not in the lineup Thursday against the Mariners.

Maldonado will take a seat after starting each of the last five games, while Juan Graterol will get the start behind the plate in his stead.
