Trevino is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Trevino homered Monday during what was his third straight start, so he'll receive some rest Tuesday. Austin Wynns is catching and batting ninth for the Reds.

Goodman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to Atlanta on Monday.

Goodman helped Colorado get off to a fast start with a three-run blast to left field in the first inning, but that was the final time the Rockies got on the scoreboard. Goodman has been one of the few bright spots in what has been a horrendous 4-24 start to the season for Colorado -- he is tied for the team lead with five long balls and ranks first on the Rockies with 14 RBI and 15 runs while slashing .256/.350/.478. Goodman's production has been especially valuable in fantasy given his status as a backstop.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that Herrera (knee) will begin cutting drills and baserunning work as soon as Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The hope remains that Herrera will be ready to begin a rehab assignment as soon as Thursday. It's not clear how many rehab games Herrera will require before being activated from the 10-day injured list, but a return at some point next week appears possible. The catcher is working his way back from a left knee bone bruise.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Stephenson (oblique) will be re-evaluated at the end of this week, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

That typically means a player will be activated at that time as long as long as they're performing and feeling well in their rehab games. Stephenson has been out all season with a strained left oblique and is 3-for-17 with one home run in his first five rehab contests with Triple-A Louisville. He caught a full nine innings Sunday, which is the first time he's done so since joining Louisville.

Torrens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Now on the bench for the fourth time in five games, Torrens is expected to see light playing time moving forward after top backstop Francisco Alvarez returned from the 10-day injured list last week to make his season debut. Torrens proved to be an adequate replacement for Alvarez behind the dish, as he enters Monday's contest with a .258/.292/.419 slash line over his 65 plate appearances on the season.

Adams went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

Adams' first homer of the year proved to be a big one -- he launched a Jose Butto fastball over the centerfield wall to cut Washington's deficit to 7-6 in an eventual 8-7 victory. The 28-year-old Adams is still just 2-for-15 (.133) this season in a limited role behind Keibert Ruiz. He posted a .628 OPS across 130 plate appearances last year.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.

Ramirez took Logan Evans deep in his first plate appearance of the afternoon and later followed it up with a 421-foot blast to left in the sixth. He now has three home runs and nine hits over his first five MLB games while donning a 2:2 BB:K. Though Nick Fortes (oblique) had been serving as the Marlins' No. 1 catcher prior to landing on the injured list April 11, Ramirez's impressive start to his big-league career should put him on track to retain a regular spot in the lineup once Fortes is healthy again.

Smith is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Pirates on Sunday.

Smith has started in the Dodgers' last two games after returning from a left wrist injury, going 0-for-7 with one walk, one run scored and three strikeouts. He'll get a breather Sunday while Austin Barnes starts behind home plate and bats ninth against Pirates southpaw Bailey Falter.

Murphy is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against Arizona on Sunday.

Murphy started in the first two games of the series, going 2-for-6 with two runs scored and a solo homer. He'll get a breather for Sunday's series finale while Drake Baldwin gets the start behind home plate and bats eighth against Arizona right-hander Brandon Pfaadt.

Moreno is not in Arizona's starting lineup against Atlanta on Sunday.

Moreno will take a breather Sunday after going 2-for-8 with one run scored and three RBI over the first two games of the series. Jose Herrera will start behind home plate and bat ninth against Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach.
