Murphy isn't in Atlanta's lineup Friday against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Murphy will sit on the bench for the second straight game Friday while Travis d'Arnaud starts behind the plate and bats seventh. Murphy has recorded just one hit -- a home run -- in 20 at-bats over his last six games.

The Nationals transferred Adams (wrist) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Adams underwent season-ending surgery on his left hand/wrist Sept. 11, so his move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. The 27-year-old slashed .273/.331/.476 with 21 RBI through 158 plate appearances in 2023, and he is expected to be fully recovered before the start of spring training. Tanner Rainey (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list to fill Adams' spot on the 40-man roster.

Stallings is out of the lineup Thursday against the Mets.

Nick Fortes will start at catcher and bat eighth versus the Mets and left-hander David Peterson. Stallings went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Wednesday and is slashing just .189/.279/.288 across 267 total plate appearances this season.

Smith is out of the lineup Thursday at Colorado.

Austin Barnes will start behind the plate and bat ninth in the Dodgers' series finale against the Rockies. Smith had caught two straight games while going 1-for-8 with two RBI.

Alvarez isn't in the Mets' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Campusano remains out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Giants.

There's no word of any injury, but Campusano is now on the bench for a third consecutive game. Brett Sullivan will start at catcher and bat ninth for the Padres on Wednesday in San Francisco.
