MLB Player News

Tromp was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Tromp was designated for assignment last Tuesday and unsurprisingly passed through waivers unclaimed. He'll remain in an organizational depth role for now.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

The lefty-hitting Narvaez typically starts against right-handers like the Pirates' JT Brubaker, but the backstop will get some routine maintenance after he caught games both of the past two days. Victor Caratini will check in behind the dish Tuesday, forming a battery with reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes.

Knizner will retreat to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

While top backstop Yadier Molina recently dealt with general soreness, Knizner picked up three consecutive starts behind the plate over the weekend in Milwaukee and went a collective 4-for-12 with two RBI. Though Molina is back in action for Tuesday's series opener, manager Oliver Marmol suggested Sunday that the veteran catcher will likely split time with Knizner until Molina's soreness completely subsides, according to John Denton of MLB.com. Knizner thus looks like he could be in line for up to three starts this week, but expect his playing time to taper off thereafter.

Gomes is starting at catcher and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Willson Contreras will serve as the DH in the series finale Sunday afternoon, which opens up a spot for Gomes behind the plate. This will be just the third appearance of the season for the veteran, who has two hits in eight at-bats. Gomes has some appeal as a bargain option in daily leagues when he starts, but his playing time doesn't move the needle much in standard formats.

Bart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Curt Casali will get the nod behind the dish as the Giants and Guardians wrap up their series with a matinee game. Bart started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the Giants' last five games, going 5-for-17 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, three RBI and an additional run.

Bart went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and three strikeouts in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.

Bart's been very much hit or miss so far -- he's struck out in 13 of his 26 plate appearances, but he's also swatted two home runs and a double. The rookie catcher was initially expected to see a timeshare with Curt Casali, but Bart has gotten the better of that with six starts in the Giants' first eight games. While he's hit no higher than seventh, his fairly consistent presence in the lineup and solid hitting make him a reliable option in fantasy.

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

He'll sit for the second Sunday in a row while No. 2 backstop Payton Henry receives a turn behind the plate in the series finale. Through his first eight games with the Marlins, Stallings has gone 3-for-24 with a home run and three RBI.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

He'll be getting some routine maintenance for the series finale on the heels of three consecutive starts over which he went 2-for-15 with a pair of RBI. Riley Adams will enter the lineup as the Nationals' catcher Sunday.

Perez (quadriceps) will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday against the Nationals.

Perez was withheld from action in Saturday's 6-4 win due to a bruised left quad, but he may have been scheduled to get a rest day anyway after he started both of the Pirates' previous two contests. The day out of the lineup was apparently enough to resolve Perez's quad issue, as he'll check back in behind the dish for the series finale while forming a battery with starting pitcher Jose Quintana.

Nido isn't included in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Nido picked up his fourth start of the season Saturday, going 0-for-2 with two strikeouts in the Mets' 3-2 loss. No. 1 backstop James McCann will be back behind plate for the series finale, resulting in Nido moving back into his typical bench role. Nido has gone 3-for-13 at the dish through his four starts.
