Stallings is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Rockies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Nick Fortes will be behind the plate for Game 1, catching for starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. Expect Stallings, who has gone hitless with seven strikeouts in 10 at-bats over his last three starts, to check back into the lineup for the nightcap.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a two-run single and a run in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

The light-hitting backstop made plenty of noise out of the bottom of the order with his third multi-RBI effort of the season, all which have come from May 15 onward. His eventful night notwithstanding, Raleigh is still carrying an abysmal .136/.216/.333 slash line for the season, although five of his nine hits have gone for extra bases.

Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Murphy will get a day off after starting six straight games, going 4-for-21 with a homer, two RBI and two runs in those contests. Christian Bethancourt will draw the start at catcher and bat sixth Wednesday.

Ruiz isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets.

Ruiz started in the last two games and went 1-for-7 with a run and two walks. Riley Adams will start behind the dish and bat eighth Wednesday.

Kirk went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.

He got the Blue Jays on the board with a two-run shot off Lucas Giolito in the second inning, then took the Chicago right-hander deep again for a two-run blast in the fifth that wound up supplying the winning runs for Toronto. Kirk snapped an 18-game homer drought with the performance and has only three long balls on the season, but he's riding a six-game hitting streak during which he's gone 11-for-21 (.524) with three doubles, six RBI and 10 runs scored.

Hedges isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Royals.

Hedges started in the last two games and went 1-for-7 with a three-run homer, a walk and two strikeouts. Luke Maile will take over behind the dish and bat ninth.

Heineman went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

Heineman rattled off three singles in the contest, and he came around to score on a Tucupita Marcano homer in the second inning and a Bryan Reynolds double in the ninth. This was Heineman's second multi-hit effort in 18 games this season. The catcher has a .222/.263/.278 slash line with no home runs, one RBI, five runs scored and two doubles through 40 plate appearances between the Pirates and the Blue Jays this year.
