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

He'll get a routine day off for Sunday's matinee after he started behind the dish in each of the Yankees' last five games. J.C. Escarra will step in at catcher Sunday, forming a battery with starting pitcher Will Warren.

Fortes (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday versus the Athletics.

The 28-year-old will rejoin the active roster after missing nearly a month due to a Grade 1 oblique strain. Fortes opened the campaign as Miami's primary catcher and had an .833 OPS through 22 plate appearances, but prospect Agustin Ramirez has taken over the role and has a .908 OPS in his first 10 big-league games.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Jansen will take a seat for the day game after he had started behind the plate in both of the first two games of the series in New York. Ben Rortvedt will handle the catching duties in Sunday's finale.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader in St. Louis.

Alvarez will take a seat for the early game but should be back behind the plate for the second contest of the day to form a battery with starting pitcher Tylor Megill. Luis Torrens will handle the catching duties in Game 1.

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

Langeliers started the first two games of the series but will take a seat for the finale after going 0-for-9 with an RBI. Jhonny Pereda will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty JP Sears on Sunday.

Perez (hip) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Kansas City held Perez out of the lineup for the first two games of the series due to a sore left hip he sustained Thursday, but the 34-year-old has evidently displayed enough improvement to make his return. The Royals haven't indicated when Perez might be ready to resume full-time duties behind the plate, however, so he could be confined to the DH spot for a few more games. Luke Maile, who's getting the start Sunday, and Freddy Fermin will pick up more work at catcher until Perez is deemed ready to play defense.

Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Fermin had started at catcher in each of the last three games while Salvador Perez served as a designated hitter for the first contest and then sat out the next two due to left hip soreness. Perez is healthy enough to step back in as the Royals' DH on Sunday, but Fermin will get a breather while No. 3 catcher Luke Maile steps in behind the plate. The Royals haven't indicated when Perez might be ready to resume full-time duties at catcher, so Fermin could continue to see elevated playing time in the short term.

Narvaez will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Though he's back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, Narvaez's run as the Red Sox's primary catcher is over with Connor Wong reinstated from the injured list Friday. Wong started behind the dish in the first two games of the series, but he'll pick up some rest in the Sunday afternoon contest. Narvaez batted just .175 with three home runs over 18 games while Wong was sidelined.

Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

After starting behind the dish in the first two games of the series following his activation from the 10-day injured list Friday, Wong will get a breather as the Red Sox wrap up their three-game set with the Twins. Carlos Narvaez will replace Wong behind the plate.

Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Rays.

Wells gave New York a 2-1 lead with his fifth-inning blast, but Tampa Bay scored twice in the eighth to pull out the victory. The homer extended the backstop's on-base streak to eight games, a stretch during which he's batting .265 with two long balls, four doubles and eight RBI. On the season, Wells is hitting just .208, but he's tied for fourth among catchers with 18 RBI and is tied for fifth with six home runs.
