Ohlman accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports.

The Blue Jays designated Ohlman for assignment over the weekend, and after passing through waivers, he'll return to the organization at the Triple-A level. Now that Ohlman is off the 40-man roster, he's unlikely to be called back up anytime soon unless Russell Martin or Luke Maile land on the disabled list.

Narvaez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Despite going 2-for-3 Monday night, the White Sox will continue to employ their timeshare behind the dish. Narvaez will cede Tuesday's start to Kevan Smith.

Rupp is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, Ryan Lawrence of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Rupp will take a seat for the second time in three games as Andrew Knapp draws the start behind the dish. The 28-year-old backstop is slashing .248/.330/.446 with four homers and 13 RBI through 101 at-bats, so he could be a useful fantasy option in deeper leagues.

Sanchez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Royals, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Sanchez was hit in the mask by a foul ball over the weekend, so this night off seems like a way to keep him fresh after that incident as well as two straight hitless showings. Austin Romine will fill in for him behind the dish.

Vazquez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

Despite picking up four hits in the past two games, Vazquez will head to the bench for a night off. Sandy Leon will pick up a start behind the dish in his place.

Jackson is on the 7-day DL at High-A Florida with an undisclosed injury.

He made 17 starts at catcher, 22 starts at DH and zero starts in the outfield prior to the injury, as the move behind the dish appears to be complete. Jackson was hitting .297/.355/.568 with 10 home runs and a 27.2 percent strikeout rate in 169 plate appearances.

McCann is not in the lineup Monday against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Despite collecting hits in the past two games, McCann will head to the bench as the Tigers continue to ride the hot-hitting Alex Avila, who will draw the start behind the dish and bat second.

Gosewisch was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Gosewisch was just 2-for-28 (.071) across 11 games with the big club before being sent back to Tacoma. The veteran backstop was replaced by fellow catcher Mike Zunino on the roster. He'll continue to serve as organizational catching depth for the Mariners.

Mesoraco is not in the lineup Monday against the Indians, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Mesoraco has been raking since getting healthy, but he'll head to the bench for a night off on the heels of his second straight two-hit showing. Tucker Barnhart will assume catching duties for the night.

Sanchez (foot, quad) had a setback in his rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A El Paso, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Eric O'Brien of CBS 4 adds that El Paso manager Rod Barajas said that Sanchez left his most recent game due to quad tightness. It's unclear how severe this new ailment is or how long it will be until Sanchez returns to action, but more should be revealed in the coming days.
