Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Roberto Perez will be behind the plate and bat seventh.

Wilson Ramos Sitting Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos continues his pattern of sitting every third game for the Rays. With Ramos still only a year removed from recovering from a torn ACL, the Rays seem keen to get him as much rest as possible. Their decision will be made easier by Ramos' early-season struggles at the plate. […]

James McCann Getting The Day Off Wednesday

Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann is not in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Orioles. It appears to be just a routine day of rest for McCann, who is hitting just .195 on the year. John Hicks will fill in behind the dish for McCann.
