Tromp is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Tromp's usage has predictably trended downward since the Giants promoted top prospect Joey Bart to the big leagues Aug. 20. In the Giants' 12 games since that date, Tromp has made three starts, going 1-for-6 at the dish.

Bart went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 23-5 win over the Rockies.

Bart also reached base a fourth time when he was hit by a pitch. After recording exactly one hit in each of his first four MLB games, Bart had fallen into a 1-for-19 slump before breaking out Tuesday along with a number of teammates, as San Francisco's 27 hits were the most by an NL team since 1999.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Red Sox.

While none of the knocks went for extra bases, it was still a productive night for the veteran catcher. On the season, d'Arnaud now boasts a .325/.360/.530 slash line with four homers and 18 RBI through 31 games.

Perez went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and one scored Tuesday against the Royals.

Perez delivered his first home run of the season in the second inning, taking Matt Harvey deep for a two-run shot. He's been poor at the plate to this point in the campaign, as he's managed just a .170/.291/.255 line across 55 plate appearances. Given Cleveland's recent acquisition of Austin Hedges, Perez could also be pushed for playing time.

Higashioka (oblique) was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday.

Higashioka had been out since early August with a strained right oblique. He'd only appeared in three games prior to suffering the injury, going 2-for-9 at the plate. He'll split time with Erik Kratz behind starting backstop Gary Sanchez for now.

Jansen is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Jansen hits the bench for the second time in the last three games. He has just three hits in his last 11 contests. Reese McGuire gets the nod behind the plate in his absence.

Maldonado is not in the lineup Tuesday against Texas, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Maldonado remains the clear primary option behind the plate in Houston, starting 27 of 34 games thus far. Dustin Garneau gets the nod Tuesday.

Gallagher is not in Tuesday's lineup against Cleveland.

He is hitting .286/.348/.571 with one home run in 21 at-bats over his last 10 games. Meibrys Viloria will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Barnhart is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Barnhart hits the bench after starting five of the Reds' last six games behind the plate. Curt Casali will catch in his absence.

McCann went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win against the Twins.

McCann was one of five White Sox who recorded multiple hits in this game, and the veteran catcher continues to provide offense even if his playing time has been scarce of late. McCann is currently riding a six-game hitting streak, with two multi-hit performances in that stretch.
