Rodriguez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Rodriguez will hit the bench Sunday after starting three of the past four games while going 1-for-7 with five walks, a stolen base and two runs. Though Henry Davis will handle catching duties in the series finale, Rodriguez may have inched ahead of him on the depth chart while Joey Bart (foot) is sidelined.

Leon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

After starting Saturday's 5-2 win and going 0-for-2 with a strikeout, Leon will hit the bench for the series finale. The veteran backstop has settled into a timeshare with Chadwick Tromp, and as both are valued mainly for their defensive abilities, neither offers much fantasy value while Atlanta covers for the absence of Drake Baldwin (oblique).

Campusano (toe) has been catching bullpens and is swinging pain-free, per MLB.com.

Campusano hasn't played since fouling a ball off his toe against San Francisco on May 5. He landed on the IL two days later after being diagnosed with a fracture of his left toe. Campusano appears to have progressed in his recovery substantially, and he could be ready to return in early June. He may need a minor-league rehab stint first, however, given the amount of time he's missed.

Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Kelly went 0-for-4 during Chicago's loss in Friday's series opener and will now stay put in the dugout to begin Saturday's contest. Miguel Amaya will replace him behind home plate and bat eighth.

Susac isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Susac will get a chance to regroup after going 0-for-14 with four strikeouts across his last four games. Eric Haase will handle catching duties Saturday and bat eighth.

Fermin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Fermin is currently stuck in an 0-for-23 stretch at the plate, so the Padres will give him a day to collect himself Saturday while Rodolfo Duran starts at catcher, batting ninth.

Davis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

After going just 5-for-47 at the plate since the start of May, Davis will sit for the third time in Pittsburgh's last four games. Endy Rodriguez will start behind the plate Saturday and bat seventh.

Ruiz isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Ruiz has recorded multiple hits as well as an RBI and a run in both of his last two games, but the Nats will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's contest while Drew Millas starts at catcher, batting eighth.

Torrens isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Torrens will take a seat after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. Hayden Senger will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

Ruiz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Padres.

The backstop took Lucas Giolito deep in the second inning as the Nationals grabbed an early lead the bullpen let slip away. Over 15 games in May, Ruiz is slashing .364/.368/.727 with four of his five homers on the season along with eight doubles, 10 runs and 16 RBI.
