Herrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.

This was Herrera's second homer in his last four games, though he hasn't seen steady playing time in that span. He got a start at designated hitter Thursday with Pedro Pages behind the dish. Herrera has hit well but not for much power this year with a .298/.368/.427 slash line, five home runs, 27 RBI, 37 runs scored, 12 doubles and five stolen bases over 71 contests.

Pages went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.

Pages launched a two-run homer off Angel Chivilli in the eighth inning to give the Cardinals an 8-5 lead but the advantage was erased when Colorado put up five runs in the bottom of the frame. The long ball was Pages' seventh of the season, and he's slashing .236/.275/.361 across 209 plate appearances.

The Dodgers optioned Feduccia to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Feduccia appeared in three games after Austin Barnes hit the 10-day injured list Sept. 16. In that small sample, Feduccia went 3-for-10 with a walk and RBI. Barnes was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move Thursday.

The Dodgers activated Barnes (toe) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Barnes fractured his left big toe Sept. 15 after fracturing the same toe in August. However, the fractures occurred in different spots of the toe. With Barnes returning from injury, Hunter Feduccia was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Stallings is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

After going 2-for-6 with a double and walk while starting both of the first two games of the series, Stallings will cede catching duties to Hunter Goodman in the finale. The two backstops seem to be part of a timeshare at the position, with rookie Drew Romo representing a lightly used No. 3 option.

Higashioka isn't in the Padres' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Higashioka's single in Tuesday's win broke an 0-for-11 stretch at the plate, and he'll now get a chance to rest while Elias Diaz catches for Dylan Cease.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Fortes will take a seat after he started at catcher in each of Miami's last three contests while going 2-for-11 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. Jhonny Pereda will get a turn behind the plate in Fortes' stead.

Bart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Bart will grab a breather Wednesday after starting at catcher in both of the past two games. Yasmani Grandal will replace Bart behind the dish.

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

D'Arnaud started the series opener Tuesday, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Sean Murphy will start at catcher for Atlanta and will bat eighth.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Ruiz is getting a breather after starting each of the previous five contests (four at catcher, one at designated hitter). Drew Millas will catch and bat seventh for the Nationals.
