D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to a stomach bug, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Since William Contreras was behind the plate for all nine innings of Tuesday's 13-1 win, Atlanta was likely planning on resting him for the day game after a night game, but he'll have to catch a second straight contest with d'Arnaud feeling under the weather. With a .190 average since the beginning of July, d'Arnaud was already beginning to lose out on playing time to Contreras, and the bout with the stomach bug certainly won't help his case for re-establishing himself as Atlanta's clear-cut No. 1 backstop.

Bart went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 9-5 loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Bart capped a five-run fourth inning with a two-run shot to center off Los Angeles starter Tyler Anderson and added an infield single in the sixth. The 25-year-old has homered in two of his last three games and has gone deep four times in 21 games since being recalled from the minors July 6. However, in that same span he's walked only three times. Bart is slashing .191/.289/.368 with eight home runs, 21 runs and 16 RBI in 58 games.

Gallagher was acquired by the Padres from the Royals on Tuesday in exchange for Brent Rooker, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

A longtime backup for Kansas City, Gallagher will now head to San Diego, and he's likely to fill a similar role behind Austin Nola and Jorge Alfaro, assuming he remains in the majors. Gallagher has a .656 OPS in 171 career major-league contests.

Knizner is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

With Yadier Molina (knee) back from the 10-day injured list and stepping into the lineup Tuesday, Knizner is expected to serve as St. Louis' No. 2 backstop moving forward. Knizner finally started to find a rhythm at the plate in July with a .280/.345/.320 slash line on the month, but he's still holding down a poor .575 OPS over 194 plate appearances on the season.

Narvaez will sit Tuesday against the Pirates.

Most of Narvaez's off days come against lefties, but he'll sit here against righty Bryse Wilson. Victor Caratini will get the nod behind the plate.

Delay is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

On the bench for the fourth time in five games, Delay looks to have fallen behind Tyler Heineman on the depth chart at catcher. The Pirates could opt for a soft platoon between the switch-hitting Heineman and the righty-hitting Delay, with the latter backstop drawing most of his starts versus left-handed pitching.

Heineman will start at catcher and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Heineman will pick up his fourth start in five games and appears to have overtaken Jason Delay as the Pirates' preferred option behind the plate. Considering that Heineman is hitting .231 with no home runs and one stolen base across 117 plate appearances in the majors this season and typically hits at the bottom of the order, he'll struggle to offer much fantasy value even in leagues that start two catchers.

Stallings is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Stallings is on a roll right now, picking up 11 hits -- including three doubles -- over his last 23 at-bats, but he will get a breather after starting eight of Miami's last 10 games. Nick Fortes will replace Stallings behind the plate.

D'Arnaud isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Phillies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The veteran catcher has gone 3-for-22 with a pair of RBI in six games since the All-Star break. William Contreras will gear up behind the plate for Tuesday's series opener.

Diaz is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Brian Serven will get the nod behind the dish for the early game, but Diaz is expected to catch for starting pitcher Jose Urena in the nightcap.
