    Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Victor Caratini will receive the starting nod behind the dish while Diaz rests for a day game after a night game. Though he went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 4-1 loss, Diaz busted out of his slump in a big way in the series opener Friday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, five RBI and an additional run in the Astros' 14-3 victory.

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Three more hits Saturday

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Back in action Sunday

    Jeffers (thumb) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Christian Vazquez will exit the lineup to make room behind the plate for Jeffers, who has gone 7-for-32 (.219 average) with zero home runs, four RBI and one run through his first nine games.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Remains out Sunday

    Bart (back) is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Reds on Sunday.

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Sitting against lefty

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