D'Arnaud isn't starting Monday's game against the Marlins.

D'Arnaud had started each of the last three games for Atlanta and went 4-for-10 with a double, one run, one RBI and two walks during that time. Alex Jackson will take over behind the plate for Monday's series opener against Miami.

Realmuto went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Braves.

Realmuto doubled to begin the second inning and managed to safely steal third during the next at-bat. The 30-year-old has swiped 45 bags since 2015, making him one of the top base-stealers at his position. Realmuto has gotten off to a solid start at the plate, as he's slashing .333/.375/.533 with six RBI and four runs scored in 32 plate appearances.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Smith started the past three games behind the plate but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-10 with one double, one run and two walks. Austin Barnes will start behind the plate and bat eighth in the series finale.

Gomes is not in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Gomes made his first start of the season Saturday and went 2-for-4 with one RBI, and he'll head to the bench Sunday. Jonathan Lucroy will catch for Max Scherzer in the series finale.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

On the bench for the sixth time in 10 games to begin the season, Diaz appears to be behind Dom Nunez on the Rockies' depth chart at catcher. Diaz is off to a 2-for-18 start at the plate while Nunez has gone 4-for-17 with three home runs, so Diaz doesn't appear likely to claim the No. 1 role anytime soon.

McCann is not in the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.

The 30-year-old started the first five games of the season for the Mets but will receive a breather in Sunday's series finale. McCann is is 3-for-17 with one run, one RBI, two walks and five strikeouts in 19 plate appearances. Tomas Nido will take over behind the plate for New York and will bat eighth.

Narvaez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.

Narvaez started the first two games of the series but will head to the bench for the finale after going 3-for-7 with a run and two walks. Manny Pina will start behind the plate and bat sixth Sunday for Milwaukee.

Grandal is not in the lineup Sunday against the Royals.

Grandal will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale despite receiving an impromptu off day due to Saturday's postponement. Zack Collins will start behind the plate and bat seventh for the White Sox.

Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

After making three consecutive starts behind the plate, Garver will cede catching duties to Ryan Jeffers in the series finale in what amounts to a maintenance day. Garver owns a respectable .717 OPS through 23 plate appearances this season, but a 39.1 percent strikeout rate suggests he hasn't solved the contact woes that marred his 2020 campaign.

Perez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Perez started the past four games behind the plate but will take a seat Sunday after going 2-for-9 with one homer, four runs, two RBI and four walks. Austin Hedges will catch for Logan Allen in the series finale.
