McGuire is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Angels.

McGuire started the matinee and went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks, and it's no surprise he won't be starting both games of the twin bill. Alejandro Kirk will work behind the plate in the nightcap.

Jackson is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Jackson started the past three games and will receive the day off Tuesday. Sandy Leon will work behind the plate while Jorge Alfaro starts in left field.

Raleigh is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

After a 1-for-4 performance Sunday, Raleigh is now hitting .182 with two doubles and six RBI in his last 10 games. Tom Murphy is catching and batting eighth Tuesday.

Contreras will be on the bench for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Contreras went 0-for-3 in the first half of the twin bill, dropping his batting average to .228. He unsurprisingly won't be asked to catch two games in one day, so he'll sit in favor of Robinson Chirinos for the nightcap.

Barrera is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Mets, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Barrera has just one hit in his last 19 at-bats dating back to July 31. He'll sit for the second time in three games Tuesday as Riley Adams works behind the plate.

Barnhart will sit Tuesday against Atlanta.

Barnhart and Tyler Stephenson have been splitting time fairly evenly behind the plate for quite some time now. Stephenson will catch Sonny Gray on Tuesday, meaning both backstops have now made 12 starts behind the plate thus far in the second half.

Bart was placed on Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list Saturday with a minor quadriceps strain, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Bart, who has hit .276 with two home runs and nine RBI since the Giants sent him down July 12, isn't expected to miss much time with the injury. That being said, it's unclear exactly when he'll return to minor-league action.

Soderstrom has been sidelined since July 23 after taking a foul tip to the collarbone, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.

The catching prospect was hit by the foul ball July 20, although he did play July 23 and went 2-for-5 with a home run. It's unclear what injury Soderstrom is dealing with and whether he's at all close to returning to the field for Low-A Stockton, where he's hit .306 with 12 home runs and 49 RBI in 57 games this season.

D'Arnaud (thumb) is scheduled to make his final rehab appearance for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday before rejoining Atlanta ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Reds, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

D'Arnaud, who has gone 4-for-17 with a pair of walks through the first six games of his rehab assignment, will catch for rehabbing Atlanta pitcher Ian Anderson (shoulder) and is expected to play the full nine innings behind the dish. Assuming he incurs no setbacks with his surgically repaired left thumb, d'Arnaud will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list a day later. Even if he doesn't start for Atlanta on Wednesday, d'Arnaud should quickly displace Stephen Vogt as the team's No. 1 backstop as he returns from a three-plus-month absence. The addition of d'Arnaud should provide as shot in the arm to an Atlanta offense that will likely be missing Ronald Acuna (knee) and Marcell Ozuna (fingers) for the remainder of the season.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

With the Brewers facing a lefty (Justin Steele) in the front end of the twin bill, the lefty-hitting Narvaez will give way to the righty-hitting Manny Pina behind the dish. Expect Narvaez to catch for starting pitcher Aaron Ashby in the second game of the doubleheader.
