Wallach was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wallach had lost out on playing time recently, and he'll head to the minors after Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Wallach slashed .203/.246/.271 with three extra-base hits, six RBI and two runs to begin the season.

Narvaez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against San Diego, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Narvaez hits the bench after starting four straight games behind the plate. Manny Pina will take over in his absence.

Hedges isn't starting Monday's game against the Tigers.

Hedges had started each of the last five games and went 2-for-15 with a run, an RBI, two walks and five strikeouts during that time. Rene Rivera will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Haase is serving as the starting catcher in Monday's game against Cleveland.

Haase had started in seven of the last eight games, as he saw increased playing time in left field. Wilson Ramos (back) was placed on the injured list Monday, so Haase will likely serve as the primary catcher while Ramos and Grayson Greiner (hamstring) are sidelined. In his last seven games, Haase has gone 8-for-27 with two home runs, a double, four RBI, three runs and seven strikeouts.

Godoy went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Padres on Sunday.

Just recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Sunday's lopsided loss saw Godoy garner his first major-league RBI via his first career hit in the ninth inning. The 26-year-old catcher has put together some solid offensive performances over various minor-league stops in both the Cardinals' and Mariners' organizations, so it will be interesting to track his development now that he's finally made it to the highest level.

Diaz will start at catcher and bat eighth Monday against the Mets.

The righty-swinging Diaz will check into the lineup in favor of the lefty-swinging Dom Nunez for the second time in three days with Colorado set to face a southpaw (David Peterson) in Monday's series opener. Diaz shouldn't be viewed as a major threat to unseat Nunez for the No. 1 spot on the depth chart while he sits on a lowly .125/.179/.153 slash line through his first 78 plate appearances of the season.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Jansen will cede catching duties to Reese McGuire in the series finale after he was behind the plate Saturday and Sunday. After going 0-for-5 between those two starts, Jansen's season-long batting average sits at .137, the lowest mark in MLB among all players with at least 100 plate appearances.

Mejia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mejia was behind the dish for the Rays' 6-4 win Sunday afternoon and enjoyed another productive day at the plate, finishing 2-for-3 with a solo home run. The 25-year-old has left the yard in both of his past two starts to improve his OPS to .807 on the season, but he's still stuck in a timeshare with the similarly productive Mike Zunino (.904 OPS), who will catch Monday's series finale.

Contreras suffered a left wrist injury late in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Contreras was hit on the wrist by a 99 mph fastball while catching in the bottom of the 10th inning Sunday, but he was able to remain in the game after he was examined by trainers. The Cubs have a scheduled day off Monday, and Contreras will be monitored in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue.

Grandal went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.

Grandal brought the White Sox within one run by homering in the seventh inning Sunday, and he drew a walk in the top of the ninth inning before he was replaced by a pinch runner. Grandal has now homered twice in his last four games, and he's slashing .141/.395/.376 with six home runs, 21 runs and 18 RBI this season.
