Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

After making four straight starts behind the dish, Rortvedt will yield to Logan Driscoll on Friday for the second time in three games. Rortvedt hasn't logged multiple hits in a game since Aug. 8.

Wells is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Pirates.

Wells is getting a breather after starting each of the previous four games. Jose Trevino is catching and batting eighth for the Yankees in the series opener.

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

D'Arnaud will take a seat for a second consecutive game, giving way to Sean Murphy behind the dish. D'Arnaud hasn't had a multi-hit game since Aug. 13.

Herrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.

This was Herrera's second homer in his last four games, though he hasn't seen steady playing time in that span. He got a start at designated hitter Thursday with Pedro Pages behind the dish. Herrera has hit well but not for much power this year with a .298/.368/.427 slash line, five home runs, 27 RBI, 37 runs scored, 12 doubles and five stolen bases over 71 contests.

Pages went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.

Pages launched a two-run homer off Angel Chivilli in the eighth inning to give the Cardinals an 8-5 lead but the advantage was erased when Colorado put up five runs in the bottom of the frame. The long ball was Pages' seventh of the season, and he's slashing .236/.275/.361 across 209 plate appearances.

The Dodgers optioned Feduccia to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Feduccia appeared in three games after Austin Barnes hit the 10-day injured list Sept. 16. In that small sample, Feduccia went 3-for-10 with a walk and RBI. Barnes was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move Thursday.

The Dodgers activated Barnes (toe) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Barnes fractured his left big toe Sept. 15 after fracturing the same toe in August. However, the fractures occurred in different spots of the toe. With Barnes returning from injury, Hunter Feduccia was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Stallings is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

After going 2-for-6 with a double and walk while starting both of the first two games of the series, Stallings will cede catching duties to Hunter Goodman in the finale. The two backstops seem to be part of a timeshare at the position, with rookie Drew Romo representing a lightly used No. 3 option.

Heim is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Oakland.

Heim reached base three times and homered in the first two games of the series, but he'll get a breather for the finale. Carson Kelly will do the catching and bat eighth for the Rangers.

Lee is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Lee and Chuckie Robinson have alternated starts at catcher over the team's last 14 contests. It will be Robinson behind the plate as the White Sox attempt to complete a sweep.
