Campusano isn't in the Padres' lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Campusano will get a breather Tuesday after going 9-for-28 with seven RBI and four runs scored across nine games since the beginning of September. Brett Sullivan will take over behind the dish and bat eighth.

Bailey (head) said he expects to be activated from the 7-day concussion injured list Wednesday, Curtis Pashelka of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Bailey was diagnosed with a mild concussion following a home-plate collision with Jeimer Candelario last Tuesday. Joey Bart and Blake Sabol have been sharing starts at catcher for the Giants during Bailey's one-week absence.

Murphy is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

Travis d'Arnaud will start at catcher and bat sixth versus right-hander Zack Wheeler. Murphy continues to get regular days of rest as the runaway NL East leaders look ahead to the postseason.

Alvarez (hand) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Alvarez sat out Monday's series opener after taking a pitch off his right hand Sunday in Minnesota, but X-rays turned up clean and he's good to go for Tuesday's tilt at Citi Field. The 21-year-old will start at catcher and bat ninth versus the Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson.

Gomes went 3-for-4 with three RBI in a 5-4 win against the Rockies on Monday.

All three of Gomes' hits were singles, but he was plenty productive. The backstop singled home a run in the sixth inning, then recorded a two-run knock in the ninth that turned a one-run Cubs deficit into a one-run lead. Gomes has three multi-hit efforts through 10 contests in September and is slashing .323/.344/.387 with six RBI so far this month.

Contreras went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Orioles.

Contreras has multiple hits in five of his last nine games, going 13-for-35 (.371) with six home runs and 15 RBI in that span. It's a strong push for the catcher, who has struggled to adjust in his first year with the Cardinals. He's at a .261/.353/.461 slash line with 19 homers, 66 RBI, 53 runs scored, six stolen bases and 26 doubles over 120 contests, and he appears set to close out the season strong.

Sabol went 1-for-2 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Guardians.

Sabol provided a game-tying RBI single in the 10th inning, then stole second and scored on LaMonte Wade's single for the winning run. The steal was Sabol's third of the season and his first since April 26. The 25-year-old has gone just 2-for-12 (.167) in September, but both of his hits this month have proven valuable. For the season, he's slashing .243/.304/.399 with 12 home runs, 41 RBI, 35 runs scored and nine doubles across his first 100 major-league contests.

Stallings is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Stallings will take a seat for the second straight game, giving way to Nick Fortes behind the plate. Despite sitting in favor of Fortes in consecutive starts, Stallings has the edge in playing time so far in September, making six starts to Fortes' four.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Monday that Adams underwent successful surgery to repair the fractured hamate bone in his left wrist, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Adams is expected to be fully healed from the procedure ahead of spring training in February. Drew Millas will serve as the top backup to Keibert Ruiz for the rest of the season while Adams is on the shelf. Adams finishes his second full season in Washington with a .273/.331/.476 slash line to go with four home runs, 21 RBI and eight runs across 158 plate appearances over 44 games.

The Padres transferred Sanchez (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Sanchez had already been ruled out for the season after fracturing his right wrist last week, so his move to the 60-day IL was merely procedural. The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-handed reliever Nick Hernandez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso. Sanchez is expected to avoid surgery and should be fully cleared ahead of spring training.
