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

He'll be receiving some routine maintenance after starting at catcher each of the past three days. Kyle McCann will spell Langeliers behind the dish Sunday.

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

Fermin was behind the plate for all nine innings of Saturday's 5-1 win, so he'll be given a breather for the day game Sunday. Salvador Perez will handle catching duties for Kansas City.

Stubbs is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

He'll be on the bench for the fourth straight game and is likely to see scant playing time down the stretch after J.T. Realmuto returned to action Friday following a week-long absence. Stubbs will at least stick around as the top backup to Realmuto after the Phillies designated No. 3 backstop Aramis Garcia for assignment Sunday.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Alvarez will receive a break after making five straight starts, during which he went 5-for-18 with two homers and six RBI. Luis Torrens is working behind the plate Sunday for lefty David Peterson.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Fortes started the previous four games and will receive Sunday off after going 1-for-10 with a hit-by-pitch and a run. Jhonny Pereda will step in behind the plate to catch for right-hander Adam Oller.

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

Wells worked behind the plate in the first three games of the series and will receive a break in the finale after going 1-for-11 with a walk and four strikeouts. Jose Trevino will do the catching for lefty Carlos Rodon.

The Phillies designated Garcia for assignment Sunday.

Garcia was promoted to the big club Sept. 7 after J.T. Realmuto suffered a knee injury. Garcia appeared in three games for the Phillies and went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts over that span. The move makes room on the 28-man roster for the reinstatement of third baseman Alec Bohm (hand) from the 10-day injured list.

Pages is absent from Sunday's lineup against Toronto.

Pages will sit for the series finale after going 2-for-8 with one stolen base over the first two games against the Blue Jays. Ivan Herrera will start behind home plate and bat sixth against Toronto right-hander Yariel Rodriguez.

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

Rogers will get a break for the day game after he caught all nine innings of the Tigers' 4-2 loss Saturday night. Dillon Dingler will check in for Rogers behind the dish.

Moreno (adductor) caught five innings of a game at the Diamondbacks' camp Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Moreno took three at-bats and ran the bases during the game. The Diamondbacks will monitor the catcher's recovery Sunday before making any decisions, but Moreno could be activated in time for Monday's series opener in Colorado.
