Triple-A Norfolk placed Hunt on its 7-day injured list Tuesday with a left groin strain, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Hunt will now be sidelined for at least a week while nursing the groin issue. The catcher has produced a .192 average with three home runs, six RBI and six runs scored over 52 at-bats in 13 contests with Norfolk since being traded to the Orioles organization from the Mariners on May 22.

Bailey is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

Bailey will take a seat as the team faces off with left-hander Justin Steele of Chicago. Curt Casali will take over at catcher and bat ninth Tuesday. Bailey is in a platoon behind the plate with Casali, typically handling the starts versus right-handers while Casali enters the lineup versus southpaws.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore.

Trevino will give way to Austin Wells behind the dish Tuesday. Trevino has generated six hits in his last four starts, including a trio of home runs.

Wong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Wong will get the day off Tuesday after making four consecutive starts. Reese McGuire will fill in behind the plate and bat seventh.

Bart (thumb) was spotted playing catch on the field Monday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The right-handed Bart is on the injured list with a Grade 1 sprain of his left thumb. Though he wasn't wearing his full catching gear Monday, the fact that he had a baseball glove on his injured hand would seem to indicate that the sprained thumb has healed on some level. The Pirates will likely wait and see how Bart responds to additional baseball activities before sending him out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Murphy has struggled after missing the first two months of the season with an oblique injury, owning a .408 OPS and a 28.6 percent strikeout rate across 56 plate appearances with Atlanta. As Murphy works through the slow start, Atlanta will turn to Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate Tuesday for the fourth time in nine games.

The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Huff was up for a few days while Jonah Heim was on paternity leave and started Monday's game versus the Mets, going 0-for-3 with a walk. With Heim back on the active roster, Huff heads back to Round Rock.

The Rangers activated Heim from the paternity leave list Tuesday.

Heim was away from the club for the last three games as he tended to more important life matters. Sam Huff was optioned in a corresponding move.

Stallings is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Stallings had started in five of six games since Elias Diaz's (calf) injury, but he'll yield to Hunter Goodman behind the dish Tuesday. Both Stallings and Goodman have been red-hot at the plate lately, with Stallings riding a six-game hit streak with four extra-base hits and four runs scored since June 10 and Goodman swatting three homers over his last three games. Regardless, Stallings should see most of the catching work moving forward.

Grandal is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Grandal has now started every other game across the last nine contests. It was initially Henry Davis (concussion) receiving the other starts, but with Davis sidelined, Jason Delay is doing the catching Tuesday.
