Goodman went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

For the second time this season, Goodman tallied a home run and a stolen base in the same contest. The 26-year-old has hit five homers over his past nine games and has now swiped a bag in consecutive contests for the first time in his career. For the year, he's slashing .245/.316/.514 with 16 long balls, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored and a career-high five steals across 244 plate appearances.

Millas (lip) will start at catcher and bat eighth Friday against the Diamondbacks, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Millas left Tuesday's contest with an upper lip laceration but will return to the starting nine Friday to fill in for Keibert Ruiz as Washington's backstop. Millas hasn't found much success as a hitter this season, slashing just .181/.252/.277 across 105 plate appearances.

Ruiz isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Ruiz will take a seat after going 1-for-7 with an RBI and two runs scored during Washington's series against Miami. Drew Millas will fill in behind the plate and bat eighth.

Moreno isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Moreno will get a chance to rest his legs after going 2-for-13 with three walks and two runs scored while playing in all four games of Arizona's last series against the Dodgers. Aramis Garcia will handle catching duties Friday while batting eighth.

Fermin isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

Fermin is still searching for his first hit since May 14, so the Padres will sit him down Friday in favor of Rodolfo Duran while they try to find offensive production from the catcher spot.

Haase went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Thursday's 12-9 win over the Brewers.

The veteran catcher drew a walk in the first inning and cracked a grand slam off Jake Woodford in the seventh to give the Giants a 10-3 lead. Haase has recorded at least one hit in four of his last five appearances, batting .357 with five RBI and two home runs across 16 plate appearances over that stretch. Overall, he's slashing .282/.333/.667 with nine RBI, seven runs scored and four long balls in 42 plate appearances on the campaign.

The Giants outrighted Porter to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

Porter passed through waivers after being designated for assignment. He has the ability to decline an outright assignment and elect free agency, but at this point it appears Porter will stick around as organizational catching depth.

Trevino (hamstring) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout.

Trevino also caught six innings behind the plate in his first bit of game action since he strained his left hamstring nearly three weeks ago. The veteran backstop shouldn't require too many more rehab at-bats before rejoining the Reds' active roster.

Moreno batted third in the order and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo adjusted the lineup Thursday, swapping the spots of Moreno and shortstop Geraldo Perdomo, who was dropped to seventh. It was just the third time this season the catcher has hit third, but he's been one of the team's hottest hitters of late, slashing .311/.394/.459 over the last 17 contests. Per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports, Perdomo will mainly stick in the seventh spot for now, but it's not yet clear if Moreno will be the primary No. 3 hitter while the shortstop works through his struggles at the dish.

Kelly isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Kelly has gone 0-for-11 across his last three contests, and Thursday will mark the fourth time in seven games that he's been kept on the sidelines. Moises Ballesteros will handle catching duties with Kelly on the bench, allowing Pedro Ramirez to work as Chicago's designated hitter.
