Haase isn't starting Wednesday against Kansas City.

Across the last three games, Haase had gone 4-for-12 with two doubles, a run and two strikeouts. Jake Rogers will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

Gomes went 1-for-3 with a grand slam, a walk and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Pirates.

The 33-year-old put the finishing touches on a five-run first inning with a one-out grand slam to comfortably put Washington in the lead. Gomes is batting .248/.287/.416 with six home runs, five doubles, 22 RBI and 19 runs through 42 games this season. The homer was just the catcher's second since May 7, while the big four-RBI night doubled his total for June.

Murphy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored Tuesday in a 6-4 victory over the Angels.

With Oakland ahead by two runs late, Murphy drove a ball over the center field wall in the eighth inning to provide some extra breathing room. The homer was Murphy's second in as many games and eighth overall this season. He is batting only .219 but has driven in 35 runs over 56 games.

Stassi is not in the lineup Tuesday at Oakland.

Stassi has a 1.297 OPS with four homers, four doubles, 10 RBI and 13 runs in 11 games since returning from the injured list June 1, but he'll receive the day off Tuesday. Kurt Suzuki will start behind the plate in his place.

Jansen (hamstring) took live batting practice Tuesday and is close to returning from the injured list, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Jansen will be eligible to return Thursday. The Blue Jays haven't officially confirmed that they expect him to return when first eligible, but it looks as though he has a chance to do so.

The Orioles traded Davis to the Pirates in exchange for Jose Berroa on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Davis joins the Pirates organization in the midst of a solid offensive season, as he's hit .289 across 43 Triple-A at-bats so far in 2021.

Jeffers is not starting Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Jeffers went 7-for-20 in the first five games after Mitch Garver (groin) landed on the injured list, but he's gone just 2-for-15 in the five games since. Ben Rortvedt will start behind the dish and bat ninth Tuesday.

Trevino (hip) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Trevino was held out of the lineup Sunday because of a sore hip, but manager Chris Woodward indicated that it was not a serious issue. The backstop is back in the lineup Tuesday to catch Kyle Gibson in the series opener against Houston.

Raleigh owns a .357/.412/.661 slash line with 15 doubles, one triple, six home runs and 23 RBI over 28 games for Triple-A Tacoma.

The talented backstop is in the midst of his most productive season in affiliated ball yet, with his numbers standing in stark contrast to the .228/.296/.414 line he produced for Double-A Arkansas back in 2019. Raleigh's performance at the plate could well earn him a big-league promotion at some point in 2021 if it endures, especially considering that Tom Murphy, Luis Torrens and Jose Godoy have largely failed to distinguish themselves at the plate thus far.

Barnhart is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

With Cincinnati facing a lefty starter (Brett Anderson) for the second straight day, the lefty-hitting Barnhart will once again cede catching duties to the righty-hitting Tyler Stephenson. Right-hander Freddy Peralta is scheduled to take the hill Wednesday for Milwaukee, so expect Barnhart to pick up his first start of the series that day.
