Trevino went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to Cleveland.

Trevino opened the scoring in the contest with a 425-foot solo shot off Cal Quantrill. It was the catcher's third long ball of the season and his second in three games. Trevino has a modest .242/.266/.419 slash line on the season, but he's been swinging well of late, slashing .333/.333/.667 with a pair of homers and two RBI over his past five contests.

D'Arnaud ran the bases Monday for the second time since landing on the 7-day injured list April 9, and he remains hopeful to be activated within the next week or so, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. "Yeah, they're wild," d'Arnaud said of concussions. "It's way different [than other injuries]. I've been getting asked the same thing [about when he's coming back]. I say, 'I don't know, I've gotta have no symptoms with anything, and then I can come back.'"

Though d'Arnaud is traveling with Atlanta and has been taking batting practice for more than a week in addition to the running work, as his comments imply, a decision on when he'll be activated isn't up to him. Atlanta isn't putting any official timeline on d'Arnaud's return, which won't happen until doctors determine he's symptom-free and able to compete at full exertion. The concussion that d'Arnaud sustained April 8 during a play at the plate is the fourth diagnosed brain injury of his career, though the first he's suffered since 2014. Once activated, d'Arnaud will be the top understudy to catcher Sean Murphy, though d'Arnaud should see at least a handful of starts per week as a designated hitter or when Murphy requires a day off behind the plate.

Murphy went 4-for-7 with two home runs, a walk, six RBI and three runs across both games of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Murphy started behind the plate and was the offensive star in the matinee, driving in six of Atlanta's nine runs on a pair of three-run homers. In the nightcap, he served as the team's designated hitter and reached base three more times. Murphy's pair of long balls gives him eight on the campaign, tops among big-league backstops. He's already nearly halfway to the career-high 18 homers he drilled last season.

Gomes (head) has not been placed in concussion protocol after suffering a head injury during Monday's game against Washington, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Gomes took a backswing to the head during the first inning and was removed from the contest as a precaution. However, he's yet to be placed in concussion protocol and is set to be re-evaluated Tuesday morning to determine his status moving forward, per McGregor. Tucker Barnhart would be in line to draw a start behind the dish Tuesday if Gomes can't go.

Gomes is being evaluated for a head injury after leaving Monday's game against the Nationals, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Gomes was hit in the helmet on the backswing in the first inning. The backstop should be considered day-to-day for now with Tucker Barnhart handling catching duties while Gomes is out.

Gomes left Monday's game against the Nationals with a potential injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Gomes was hit in the helmet in the bottom of the first on the backswing of Jeimer Candelario. Tucker Barnhardt has replaced Gomes behind the plate.

Nola is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Nola will get a break for Monday's game against right-hander Luke Weaver and the Reds. Brett Sullivan will handle backstop duties and hit ninth.

Bart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

After missing four straight games with right groin tightness, Bart returned to action Sunday in Mexico City, playing all eight innings behind the plate while going 0-for-4 in a 6-4 loss to the Padres. Though Bart isn't dealing with any reported setbacks, the Giants will give Bart a chance to recuperate Monday on the heels of his first game action in nearly a week. Blake Sabol will catch for starting pitcher Ross Stripling in the series opener in Houston.

Kirk is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Even though he produced five hits over his two starts this past weekend against the Mariners, Kirk will end up sitting for the second time in three days. Kirk still appears to be the Blue Jays' nominal No. 1 catcher, but Toronto remains incentivized to keep backup Danny Jansen involved due to Jansen's superior work on the defensive end.

The Guardians selected Fry's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Fry, 27, has hit .289/.381/.478 with two homers for Columbus this season. He's played first base, third base and second base this season and also has past experience at catcher. Fry will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.
