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

Wells will bow out of the starting nine for the series finale after he handled catching duties for the Yankees in each of the past four games. J.C. Escarra will step in for Wells behind the dish.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Baldwin and Sean Muphy have alternated starts behind the plate over the past 10 games, and that trend will continue after Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's contest. Murphy will bat sixth and do the catching for righty Spencer Strider in Sunday's series finale.

Raleigh is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

It's just the second day off this season for Raleigh, who started the previous 28 games and clubbed 14 homers with a 1.155 OPS during that stretch. Mitch Garver will step in behind the plate to catch for George Kirby in the series finale at Anaheim.

The Athletics acquired Wynns from the Reds on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations.

The 34-year-old was designated for assignment by the Reds on Friday but will remain on a 40-man roster with the A's. Wynns has a 1.142 OPS with three homers in 18 big-league games this season and will provide the Athletics with some veteran catching depth.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Jeffers will get a routine breather for the afternoon game, allowing Christian Vazquez to receive a turn behind the dish. Over his last six contests, Jeffers has gone 5-for-20 with a home run, a double, three walks, four runs and two RBI.

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

Quero will hit the bench against a righty (Michael Lorenzen) for the second time in the series, and he looks as though he's falling into a timeshare at catcher with Kyle Teel. Given that Teel bats from the left side and Quero is a switch hitter, an even split of the workload is more likely than a strict platoon.

Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

With Jeremy Pena getting a day off from playing shortstop but staying in the starting nine at designated hitter, the Astros won't have a lineup spot available for Caratini. The 31-year-old has been a near-everyday player for Houston with Yordan Alvarez (hand) unavailable and is batting .272/.333/.383 with two home runs, eight RBI and five runs since May 5.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

After sitting out Thursday's 9-1 loss to Toronto while recovering from a groin issue, Realmuto has started behind the plate in the last two contests, going 1-for-7 with a double and a run scored. He'll receive a breather for Sunday's day game, paving the way for Rafael Marchan to pick up a start.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Ruiz will take a seat for the day game after he went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 5-0 loss. Riley Adams will check in for Ruiz behind the dish.

Moreno (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Moreno is on the bench for a second straight day after he departed Friday's contest after being struck in the right hand by a wild pitch. The 25-year-old already had X-rays come back negative and should continue to be considered day-to-day, with Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona relaying that Moreno will be available to back up Jose Herrera on Sunday. Moreno could make his return to the starting nine as soon as the Diamondbacks' next game Monday versus the Mariners.
