Sanchez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

Luis Campusano (groin) will return at catcher and bat sixth. Sanchez went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a walk in the Padres' loss to Philadelphia on Monday.

Realmuto is not in the lineup Tuesday at San Diego.

Garrett Stubbs will catch and bat ninth for the visiting Phillies after Realmuto logged four straight starts behind the plate. Realmuto went 5-for-14 (.357) with two homers in that four-game stretch while lifting his season OPS to .781.

Campusano (groin) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies.

Campusano took a foul tip to a sensitive area in Sunday's series finale against the Giants, but he appeared as a pinch hitter in Monday's series opener versus Philly and will start behind the plate and bat sixth for the host Padres on Tuesday night at Petco Park.

Bailey is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

Bailey will grab a breather after making four straight starts behind the plate for the Giants. Blake Sabol is catching and batting fifth Tuesday versus the Cubs and right-hander Kyle Hendricks.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli has alternated starts for his two catchers over the last week, and it's Christian Vazquez's turn after Jeffers was behind the plate for Monday's 20-6 win. Jeffers has a hit in each of his three games so far in September after finishing August going 0-for-13 with 10 strikeouts in his final three tilts.

Bethancourt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Bethancourt will retreat to the bench after he caught all nine innings of Monday's 7-3 loss in the series opener while striking out in each of his three plate appearances. Rene Pinto will get a turn behind the plate while he and Bethancourt continue to work in a near-even timeshare at catcher.

Wells is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Tigers.

Ben Rortvedt has been catching Gerrit Cole and will do so again Tuesday. Wells started each of the first three games after his recent promotion, going 2-for-10 with two RBI. He should be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest.

Stallings is absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Nick Fortes will catch and bat ninth after Stallings drew three straight starts behind the plate to close out the Marlins' four-game weekend series versus the Nationals.

Stephenson is not in the lineup Tuesday versus Seattle.

Stephenson went 5-for-7 with a homer, two doubles and four RBI between Sunday's series finale against the Cubs and Monday's series opener against the Mariners, but he'll grab some rest Tuesday as Luke Maile takes a turn behind the plate for Cincinnati.

Diaz went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and two total runs scored Monday against the Rangers.

Diaz drew the start behind the plate and has been in the lineup in four of six games since Michael Brantley returned, with one of those appearances coming at designated hitter. Even though he's continued to hit well, the path to playing time for Diaz may be closing as the team looks to protect the health of both Brantley and Yordan Alvarez -- making it likely that one of the duo will occupy the designated hitter role. Meanwhile, the Astros have yet to show the desire to move away from Martin Maldonado behind the dish, which could give Diaz an uphill battle for playing time moving forward.
