Heim isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Houston.

Heim is on the bench for the second time in the last three matchups after he went 0-for-16 with a run, two walks and a strikeout over his last five games. Meibrys Viloria is starting behind the dish and batting eighth.

Maldonado (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

He'll take a seat for the second game in a row while he continues to manage a swollen right hand, which stems from being hit by a pitch in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Orioles. Christian Vazquez will get another turn behind the dish while Maldonado is day-to-day with the injury.

Murphy went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and five RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Nationals.

The backstop did most of his damage in the fifth inning, as he turned on a Steve Cishek slider with the bases loaded for his first career grand slam. Murphy snapped a brief 10-game homer drought with the performance, but he's mostly been red hot since the All-Star break, slashing .298/.404/.556 over his last 35 games with eight home runs and 22 RBI.

Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's victory over the Red Sox.

Sanchez padded Minnesota's lead Tuesday with a solo shot in the sixth inning, his 13th of the season. The home run was the catcher's second in his last four games. Unfortunately for Sanchez, he also struck out again and has now done so 10 times in his last 24 at-bats.

Stassi went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Yankees.

Stassi tied the game at 2-2 with a homer in the second inning, but the Yankees took the lead back in the top of the third. Playing time has gotten a little thin for Stassi lately, though it's been warranted, as he entered Tuesday in a 1-for-39 slump across his previous 10 games. That cold spell has dropped his slash line to .191/.277/.318 with eight homers, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored and 10 doubles through 85 contests this year. Stassi, Matt Thaiss and Kurt Suzuki have each started two of the Angels' last six games at catcher, which makes it difficult for any of them to carve out enough playing time to help fantasy managers.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Trevino went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Monday after missing the previous two games with a foot injury, and he'll return to the bench for Tuesday's contest. Kyle Higashioka will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

Maldonado won't start Tuesday or Wednesday against the Rangers due to swelling in his right hand, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 36-year-old was hit by a pitch Sunday against the Orioles and will sit out a couple days to allow the swelling in his hand to subside. Christian Vazquez is starting behind the plate Tuesday and should receive another start Wednesday before Houston has a scheduled day off Thursday.

Manager Tony La Russa said Grandal (knee) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The 33-year-old reported to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday and will rejoin the White Sox after going 5-for-11 with two walks, a home run, a double and four RBI in three rehab games. With Eloy Jimenez mostly being limited to designated-hitter duties, Grandal is likely to see most of his time behind the plate rather than splitting time between catcher and designated hitter.

Maldonado is on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Maldonado takes a seat while Christian Vazquez fills in behind the plate. Maldonado has been a non-factor offensively in his last 10 games, going 3-for-29 with no RBI and 10 strikeouts.

Kirk is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Kirk heads to the bench after making two starts apiece at catcher and designated hitter over the Blue Jays' last four contests while going 2-for-14 with four walks. Danny Jansen will relieve Kirk behind the plate Tuesday, while George Springer gets a day out of the outfield to handle DH duties.
