Bart is not in Sunday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

Bart started the first two games of the team's weekend series and has come alive with the bat of late, collecting eight hits in his last 17 at-bats. However, he'll retreat to the bench for the finale, with Chadwick Tromp taking over behind the plate and batting ninth.

Nola went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's loss to the Athletics.

Although the Padres were unable to keep up with the Athletics on the scoreboard Saturday, Nola continued his power surge as he now has three extra-base hits over the past two games. The 30-year-old should continue to play behind the dish in San Diego, but his defensive versatility should allow him to move around the infield if needed.

Stallings is not in Sunday's lineup against the Reds.

Stallings homered in Saturday's game, but he'll get a breather after starting the first two games of the series. John Ryan Murphy will take over behind the plate and will bat ninth.

Realmuto is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mets.

Realmuto will get a breather after appearing in the starting lineup for nine consecutive days. Andrew Knapp will take over behind the dish and bat seventh.

Bart went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over Arizona.

Bart legged out the first triple of his MLB career and has been on fire this month, hitting in all four of his September appearances and posting a .471 average in that stretch. Small sample size applies here, but this is quite an improvement compared to the .161 average he posted in 10 August games.

Narvaez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against Cleveland.

Narvaez is sitting for the second time in the series despite collecting one hit in each of his last four starts. Jacob Nottingham is getting the nod behind the dish and is batting ninth in his place.

Sattlings went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Reds.

He took Anthony DeSclafani deep in the fourth inning, but it was the last run the Bucs would score on the night. Stallings is slashing a strong .293/.376/.415 with two homers and 13 RBI in 27 games this season.

Barnhart went 1-for-3 with a walk and a home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Pirates.

He was the opening act for the Eugenio Suarez Experience in this one -- Barnhart's third-inning shot plated the first Cincinnati run, and the rest came on three blasts by Suarez. Barnhart has had a tough year at the plate, slashing .186/.278/.343, but two of his three homers have come in his last three starts.

D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Nationals.

D'Arnaud took Erick Fedde deep in the third inning for his sixth home run of the season and second in his past two starts. The performance also extended his hitting streak to five games, during which he's gone 8-for-20 with five RBI and five runs scored. Overall, d'Arnaud is hitting .333/.376/.581 across 101 plate appearances.

Nola has been taking reps at second and third base and could play any of the four infield positions, if needed, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Nola was acquired from the Mariners on Aug. 30 and has made each of his four starts at catcher since that time. However, he made two starts at first base earlier this season with the Mariners and also switched to third base during one contest. Nola figures to spend most of his time with San Diego at catcher, but his defensive versatility could allow him to get a few more at-bats over the course of the season with both Jason Castro and Luis Campusano (hand) in line for starts behind the plate.
