Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Trevino started the first two games of the series and will take a seat for the finale in Los Angeles. Kyle Higashioka will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Domingo German.

Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Moreno looks to be receiving some routine maintenance in the series finale after drawing starts behind the plate Friday and Saturday. Jose Herrera will catch for starting pitcher Zac Gallen on Sunday.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The Padres have shown no hesitation about breaking Sanchez in as a full-time player since he was claimed off waivers from the Mets early last week. The 30-year-old has picked up starts at either designated hitter or catcher in each of the last five games, going 5-for-17 with a pair of home runs, four RBI and two additional runs. Austin Nola will get a turn behind the plate Sunday, but Sanchez still looks like the Padres' preferred catching option for the time being.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Murphy started the first two games of the series in Arizona and will take a seat for Sunday afternoon's contest. Travis d'Arnaud will start behind the plate with righty Michael Soroka on the mound for Atlanta.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Diaz started the past six contests and will take a seat Sunday after he went 4-for-25 during that span. Austin Wynns will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Kyle Freeland.

Langeliers went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Marlins on Saturday.

Langeliers' timely eighth-inning knock spared the Athletics from a shutout defeat and served as his second multi-hit effort in the last six games. The young backstop has already set new career bests in home runs (seven) and RBI (25) through his first 50 games, but his 29.1 percent strikeout rate and a drop in line-drive rate from last season's 22 percent to 15.7 percent are conspiring to keep his average and on-base percentage at an unpalatable .215 and .286, respectively.

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

Fortes started three of the previous four games but will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Jacob Stallings will step in behind the plate to catch for Sandy Alcantara.

Contreras is not in the starting lineup versus the Reds on Sunday.

Contreras gets a day off after going 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs in the Brewers' win over the Reds on Saturday. The backstop will get a breather for the series finale against Cincinnati with Victor Caratini getting the start at catcher in his absence.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Eric Haase continues to serve as the team's primary catcher, but he'll get the day game off, which opens up a start for Rogers. The latter is batting just .156, though he's managed six home runs in 36 games, giving him some all-or-nothing appeal at the plate.

Haase is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Haase will head to the bench for the day game, with Jake Rogers getting the nod behind the plate. Haase has regained primary catching duties, but both players have struggled. Haase has a .596 OPS, while Rogers is a little better with a .640 OPS, though he's batting just .156. The two only hold appeal in deeper fantasy formats.
