  • Won't start Monday
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Jeffers had started each of Minnesota's last three games -- two at catcher and one at designated hitter -- so his absence from the lineup Monday is likely just a rest day. Christian Vazquez will fill in behind the dish and will bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:46 pm

    Gary Sanchez is hitting sixth and catching Monday against the Royals.

  • Checks in behind plate Monday
    Sanchez (hamstring) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Sanchez will make a start for the first time since exiting last Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Rays with right hamstring tightness, but he had been available off the bench for the last few days and served as a late-inning defensive replacement at first base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Cubs. He'll be back behind the dish Monday while No. 1 catcher William Contreras gets a day off from catching and serves as the Brewers' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 1:33 pm

    Advice: Rogers and Carson Kelly have now alternated turns behind the plate over Detroit's last eight games, with both backstops making four starts apiece.
