Langeliers is on the bench Tuesday against the Nationals.

It's been a rough past couple games for Langeliers, as he's struck out six times while going 0-for-9. Stephen Vogt is filling in as the designated hitter Tuesday.

McGuire will start at catcher and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

McGuire has been on the bench for stretches of two and three straight contests over the past couple weeks, but he'll be picking up his third consecutive turn behind the dish Tuesday. The playing-time situation at catcher remains a difficult one to predict, but McGuire looks to have the edge over Kevin Plawecki at the moment.

Haase isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Haase went 1-for-4 with a pair of runs Sunday and is hitting .250 over his last seven games. Tucker Barnhart will catch and bat eighth Tuesday.

Stallings is on the bench Tuesday versus Tampa Bay, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

An 0-for-5, two-strikeout performance Monday lowered Stallings' slash line to .314/.385/.429 over the last 10 games. Nick Fortes is filling in to catch Tuesday.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said after Monday's 6-5 loss to the Padres that Bart is in the concussion protocol but is dealing with only mild symptoms, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Kapler didn't rule out the possibility of Bart clearing the concussion protocol and starting behind the plate in Tuesday's game, but the Giants will more than likely err on the side of caution and hold the young backstop out for the contest. If that's the case, Austin Wynns, who came on to replace Bart in Monday's loss, will likely be behind the plate Tuesday.

Bart was removed from Monday's game against the Padres due to an undisclosed injury, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Bart took a foul tip to the mask early in the game and was spotted being checked out by the training staff before the start of the fourth inning, but he remained in the game until the bottom of the fifth. He's likely headed back to the clubhouse for further testing. Austin Wynns replaced Bart behind the dish.

Diaz will have his contract selected from Triple-A Sugar Land when rosters expand Sept. 1, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Diaz will need to wait a few more days before officially receiving his first chance in the big leagues. He will not only add depth behind the dish down the stretch, but he also has experience at first base and the corner-outfield spots. The 23-year-old began his 2022 campaign in Double-A before getting promoted to Triple-A on June 21, where he's slashed .294/.342/.587 with 16 home runs, 48 RBI, one stolen base and 38 runs scored over 48 games.

Jeffers (thumb) will head to Florida to begin baseball activities, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Jeffers continues to set his sights on a return during the team's final homestand of the 2022 regular season, which runs from Sept. 27 to Sept. 29 against the White Sox. His progress over the next few weeks will likely dictate whether he can meet this goal. Jeffers has been on the 10-day IL since undergoing surgery to repair an avulsion fracture of his right thumb July 20.

Heineman is no longer in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Milwaukee, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Heineman was initially penciled into the starting lineup behind the dish, but he's since been removed due "manager's discretion," per Persak. Jason Delay will handle the catching duties and bat ninth as a result.

Trevino (foot) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Trevino sat out the last two days after being struck by a pitch on the foot in Friday's game, but he is ready to return to action. He will line up behind the plate and hit seventh Monday night.
