Tromp had his rehab assignment shut down after he aggravated his left quadriceps injury at Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Tromp joined the Triple-A club for a rehab assignment Sunday and went 0-for-6 with a run, a walk and two strikeouts over two games. However, it's not yet clear when he'll be cleared to return from the injured list following Tuesday's setback.

Contreras (ankle) isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Contreras exited Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays due to a sore left ankle and will be held out of the lineup for the series finale in Toronto. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Cubs try to avoid using him since the team has a scheduled day off Thursday. Yan Gomes is starting at catcher and batting seventh.

Wynns will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

He's behind the plate for the second game in a row and will likely serve as the Giants' primary backstop for at least the next week after Joey Bart (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Through 126 plate appearances with the Giants this season, Wynns has produced a .221 average with one home run, 13 RBI and 10 runs. Those numbers give him limited appeal from a fantasy perspective.

Diaz isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta.

Diaz went 2-for-12 with a double, three RBI and two strikeouts over his last three games and will take a seat for the second time in the last three matchups. Brian Serven is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.

D'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Rockies.

D'Arnaud will get a breather after he went 6-for-16 with a homer, four RBI and three runs while starting the last four games. William Contreras will replace him behind the plate and bat fifth versus Colorado.

Nola isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants.

Nola started the last two games and went 1-for-8 with two RBI and a strikeout. Luis Campusano is taking over behind the dish and batting eighth.

Barrera is expected to be called up by the Phillies on Thursday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Barrera was sent to Triple-A Rochester last week, but he'll rejoin the major-league club to begin the month of September since active rosters will expand from 26 to 28 players. Over 14 big-league games this year, the 27-year-old has hit just .182 with a double, four RBI, two runs, two walks and 11 strikeouts.

Contreras was removed from Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays with left ankle soreness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The 30-year-old went 1-for-2 with a solo home run before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the sixth inning due to the lingering ankle issue. Contreras missed four games last week with the injury, and he's not fully healthy despite returning to action over the past few days. He'll receive treatment Wednesday and be re-evaluated to determine his availability for the series finale in Toronto.

Contreras went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Contreras was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, but he still managed to hit his 21st home run of the season in the fourth inning, which puts him one behind Patrick Wisdom for the team lead. The Chicago catcher hit a career-best 24 long balls back in 2019, and he seems poised to challenge that figure if he stays healthy the rest of the way.

Bart (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 25-year-old entered the concussion protocol after taking a foul tip off his mask during Monday's contest, and he'll be sidelined for at least the next week. Bart was initially dealing with mild symptoms, so he may be able to return after missing the minimum of seven days. Yermin Mercedes was promoted to serve as the Giants' backup catcher while Austin Wynns steps into the starting role.
