Realmuto left Friday's game against the Rockies with a sprained right pinky, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. He went 1-for-2 before leaving.

Realmuto was unable to continue after the seventh inning and was replaced by Garrett Stubbs. For now Realmuto should be considered day-to-day, but it's very likely he'll miss at least a game or two while recovering, and a trip to the injured list can't be ruled out.

Campusano underwent ligament surgery on his left thumb Friday and he'll be out at least two months, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Campusano will likely now be held out until after the All-Star break. The backstop appeared to be making progress after catching for pitchers last weekend, but ultimately the Padres felt the best course was to have him undergo surgery now. With Campusano out, Austin Nola and Brett Sullivan will continue to share catching duties.

Nola is out of the starting lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

Brett Sullivan will catch and bat ninth versus the Dodgers and right-hander Dustin May. Nola has slashed just .135/.250/.192 this year off righties.

Perez was scratched from Friday's lineup because of blurry vision, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters before Friday's game against the Brewers that Perez has been treated for his vision issues and it's expected to clear up soon. "Just a matter of when," Quatraro said. Perez may need to sit another day or two, but it doesn't appear that this will be a long-term concern for the veteran backstop.

Bart is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

Blake Sabol will catch and bat eighth. Bart had started three straight games behind the plate for the Giants prior to this night of rest.

Perez was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Brewers.

No reason has been given for why Perez is taking a seat, but it's worth pointing out that the backstop wasn't in the lineup for Thursday's contest as well. Vinnie Pasquantino has moved into the designated hitter role, with Freddy Fermin remaining behind the plate.

Grandal (hamstring) isn't starting Friday against the Astros, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Grandal was removed from Thursday's game against the Royals due to hamstring tightness, but the injury isn't expected to be particularly serious. He'll be out of the lineup for at least one game, as Seby Zavala will start behind the plate and bat seventh during Friday's series opener.

D'Arnaud is starting in the designated hitter spot and batting seventh for Atlanta on Friday in Toronto, Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports.

D'Arnaud has now started two of three since returning from the concussion injured list, with one coming at catcher and the other at DH. Sean Murphy will catch Spencer Strider, and Marcell Ozuna will be on the bench.

Raleigh is absent from the Mariners' lineup for Friday's game in Detroit.

The switch-hitting Raleigh has made just two starts against lefties this season and will be on the bench Friday with the Tigers sending southpaw Matthew Boyd to the bump. Tom Murphy is behind the dish.

Manager Pedro Grifol said he expects Grandal (hamstring) to be "alright" after being removed from Thursday's game against the Royals, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Grandal went 2-for-2 with a double before he exited Thursday's contest with hamstring tightness. While the team is still waiting on a full medical report, the initial diagnosis suggests he will be in for a quick return.
