Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Sidelined by injury
Amaya (undisclosed) is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Tennessee, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The specifics of the issue remain unclear, though the young catcher has been on the shelf since early June. Amaya was hitting .215/.406/.304 with one homer, four doubles, 13 RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases in 23 games for the Smokies prior to the injury.

Jose Trevino C | CIN
Rangers' Jose Trevino: Nursing forearm contusion
Trevino will miss at least a couple days with a forearm contusion, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
He suffered the injury when he slipped in the bathroom Tuesday morning. It's unclear exactly how long Trevino will be sidelined, but John Hicks was recalled to be the backup catcher until Trevino is ready to play again.

Jose Trevino C | CIN
Rangers' Jose Trevino: Sitting again Tuesday
Trevino is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.
Trevino will sit for the second straight game as Jonah Heim works behind the plate against his former club Tuesday. Heim and Trevino have seen a relatively even split in the catching duties over the past few weeks, and that could continue going forward.

Omar Narvaez C | HOU
Brewers' Omar Narvaez: Not in lineup
Narvaez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Narvaez's off days typically come against lefties, but he'll get a rest here against righty Zach Davies. Manny Pina takes over behind the plate in his absence.

Jake Rogers C | CHW
Tigers' Jake Rogers: Not starting Tuesday
Rogers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Rogers sits after starting seven of the last nine games. Eric Haase will take over behind the plate in his absence.

Kevin Plawecki C | TEX
Red Sox's Kevin Plawecki: Progressing slowly
Plawecki (hamstring) has been slow in his recovery from a strained left hamstring, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
There's been no report of a setback, but it remains unclear when Plawecki will be activated from the 10-day injured list. Until then, Connor Wong, who got his first MLB start Saturday, will handle backup catching duties for the Red Sox.

Tucker Barnhart C | TEX
Reds' Tucker Barnhart: On bench against lefty
Barnhart will sit against southpaw Blake Snell and the Padres on Tuesday.
Barnhart hasn't started against a lefty all season, so it's no surprise he'll hit the bench here. Tyler Stephenson takes over behind the plate as usual.

Austin Hedges C | CLE
Indians' Austin Hedges: Drives in three runs
Hedges went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Monday's 13-5 win over the Tigers.
Hedges swatted a homer in the second inning to extend Cleveland's lead to 5-1 and added a sacrifice fly in the fifth. The long ball was Hedges' first since June 1 and his fourth of the year. The 28-year-old is slashing .165/.218/.278 with five extra-base hits, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and a lowly 7:42 BB:K over 127 plate appearances. It's tough to trust Hedges in any fantasy lineup, given his inefficiency at the plate and the fact that he still splits time with Rene Rivera behind the dish.
