Nido is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at San Diego, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Nido started the past two games and will head to the bench Tuesday. Patrick Mazeika will work behind the plate and bat ninth.

Hedges is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Rangers.

Hedges went 0-for-4 during the matinee, and it's not a surprise he won't be starting both ends of the twin bill. Luke Maile will take over behind the plate in the nightcap.

Jansen has a fractured bone in his left hand near his pinky finger, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Jansen has only played in 19 games this season, as he'd previously missed over a month with a strained oblique. He's yet to officially return to the injured list, but such a move is expected to come soon. The fracture is apparently smaller and more stable than most, but a timeline won't become clear for his return until 10 days into his absence, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca. Zack Collins was recalled to split time behind the plate with Alejandro Kirk.

Stallings will sit Tuesday against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Stallings has just two hits and 10 strikeouts in his last seven games. Nick Fortes will start behind the plate Tuesday, catching for Edward Cabrera.

Manager Brian Snitker said d'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Oakland due to a sore forearm, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Atlanta didn't call up another catcher from the minors and Snitker said d'Arnaud will still be available off the bench Tuesday, so the 33-year-old seems at minimal risk of landing on the 10-day injured list. D'Arnaud's arm is apparently still a little tender after he was hit by a pitch Sunday, but a day out of the lineup may be all he needs for the soreness to subside.

Jeffers will sit Tuesday against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Jeffers finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row. Gary Sanchez starts behind the plate against his former team.

Grandal isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Grandal started in the last four games and went 2-for-13 with two RBI, three walks and five strikeouts. Reese McGuire will start behind the dish and bat eighth Tuesday.

Jansen (hand) isn't starting Tuesday against the Royals.

Jansen sustained a left hand injury during Monday's win over the Royals and underwent precautionary X-rays. While the results of his exams aren't yet known, manager Charlie Montoyo said after Sunday's matchup that the backstop was "fine." Jansen should be considered day-to-day for now, while Alejandro Kirk will start behind the plate and bat fifth Tuesday.

Gomes (oblique) took batting practice on the field Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Gomes has been on the shelf since May 25 with a left oblique strain, but the fact that he's able to take some swings against live pitching suggests that the worst of the injury is still behind him. The 34-year-old will still likely need to go through full catching and baserunning work before potentially heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Maldonado is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Maldonado will get a day off after starting five straight games, going 3-for-18 with a homer, two RBI and three runs in those contests. Jason Castro will start at catcher and bat eighth Tuesday.
