Fry went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Fry knocked in a run for the third time over his last five games, with this one coming via the walk-off hit in the 10th inning. The 27-year-old is starting to push for more playing time -- he's been in the lineup for three of the last five games. For the season, he's batting .293 with a home run, six RBI, two steals and four runs scored over 44 plate appearances. His versatility allows him to cover multiple positions around the diamond.

Jansen is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher and Brandon Belt is serving as the Blue Jays' designated hitter. This is the second straight absence for Jansen, who's batting just .206/.250/.353 over his last 36 plate appearances.

Knizner left Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to a groin injury, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Knizner took a foul ball to the groin and was sent to a local hospital in Miami to be evaluated, which suggests that there is significant concern. Ivan Herrera or Tres Barrera could get the call from Triple-A Memphis if the Cardinals need a new backup catcher.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against Atlanta.

Both Naylor brothers are sitting this one out, although Josh's absence is due to a wrist issue. In Bo's case, it looks to be a routine day off while Cam Gallagher catches Shane Bieber.

Grandal is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

It looks to be a routine day off for the veteran catcher. Seby Zavala will catch Lucas Giolito while Grandal gets some rest.

O'Hoppe (shoulder) took 25 dry swings Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

It's the first time he's swung a bat since he underwent surgery in late April to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. O'Hoppe said afterward that it felt "really good. I didn't feel I needed to baby anything... Taking the training wheels off today." There's a chance he could return before the end of the season, with late August being a best-case scenario. O'Hoppe has plenty of hoops to jump through, though, and where the Angels are in the playoff hunt at the time could also factor into their plans for the young catcher.

Moreno is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Carson Kelly will catch and bat seventh versus the Mets and right-hander Max Scherzer. It's the second straight absence for Moreno, who has posted a disappointing .657 OPS with two home runs through 64 games this year.

Perez was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left thumb.

It's unclear how or when Perez suffered the injury, but clearly he's going to be on the shelf for a while. Manny Pina (wrist) is back from an injury himself to take Perez's roster spot.

Campusano (thumb) is beginning a rehab assignment Tuesday in the Arizona Complex League, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Campusano is recovered from May 12 surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb and could return to the Padres' active major-league roster after the All-Star break as an option at catcher, first base and DH.

Murphy is not in the lineup Tuesday at Cleveland.

Travis d'Arnaud will catch for Atlanta and Marcell Ozuna will fill the DH role. This looks to be a routine day of rest for Murphy, who smacked a double in Monday's series opener and boasts a .294/.389/.557 batting line on the year.
