  • Getting third straight start
    Knizner will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Knizner will be making his third consecutive start, but his time as the Rangers' No. 1 catcher should be short-lived. Jonah Heim (personal) was placed on the paternity list Saturday and will rejoin the team no later than Tuesday. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Stepping in as No. 1 catcher
    Stallings will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Stallings will pick up his fourth start in five games and should continue serving as the Rockies' primary option behind the plate until Elias Diaz (calf) returns from the 10-day injured list. A former Gold Glove winner who's valued mainly for his defensive contributions, Stallings has been a surprising performer with the bat during his first season in Colorado, slashing .296/.375/.449 over 113 plate appearances thus far.

  • Getting breather Sunday
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal will rest for the Sunday afternoon game after he went 2-for-4 with an RBI while catching eight innings of Saturday's 16-4 loss. Jason Delay will step in for Grandal behind the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 11:46 am
     
  • Sitting in opening game of day
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Twins.

    Advice: Langeliers will get a breather for the early game of the twin bill as Kyle McCann draws the starting nod behind the dish. Expect Langeliers to check back into the lineup as the Athletics' starting catcher for the nightcap. Rotowire.com Today, 11:38 am
     
  • Retreating to bench role
    Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Caratini had started behind the plate each of the past five games, but he'll be back on the bench for the series finale now that top backstop Yainer Diaz has been cleared to resume catching duties. Diaz had missed three straight games with a sore index finger before returning to the lineup Friday and Saturday as the Astros' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 11:19 am
     
  • Resting Sunday
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: He'll get a breather for the series finale after he had started at catcher in each of the Reds' previous four games. Luke Maile will spell Stephenson behind the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 10:50 am
     
  • Getting Sunday off
    Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Fry will rest after he had started each of the past seven games at catcher or in the corner outfield while going 6-for-26 at the dish. His absence Sunday opens up a spot in the lineup at designated hitter for Kyle Manzardo, who had been on the bench for each of the past three contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:45 am

  • Back in lineup as DH
    Perez (knee) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Perez is battling a right knee sprain, but it's said to be relatively minor and he will tough it out Sunday as the designated hitter. It's uncertain when he may return to catching duties. The team recalled Austin Nola on Saturday and Nola's presence on the roster affords Perez and the Royals some time to get him right before he slots back in behind the plate.

  • Salvador Perez (knee) back in lineup Sunday
    Salvador Perez (knee) is back in the lineup as the designated hitter Sunday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Perez was removed Friday after experiencing discomfort in his right knee, and while the backstop did miss Saturday’s game, he’s feeling well enough to be the designated hitter and hit cleanup against the Dodgers in the final game of the three-game set. Great news for all parties involved. Rotoworld Today, 10:16 am
