Trevino is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

Kyle Higashioka will start at catcher and bat eighth versus the Halos and left-hander Patrick Sandoval. Trevino was behind the plate for the Yankees on Sunday and Monday.

Stephenson isn't in the Reds' lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

Stephenson is 0-for-21 across his last seven games, so he'll receive a day off Tuesday to regroup. Curt Casali will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Wong is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Wong went 3-for-4 with three RBI as the Red Sox earned a 7-0 shutout victory in Monday's series opener at Oakland, but it'll be Jorge Alfaro handling the catching duties in Tuesday night's tilt.

Perez isn't in the Royals' lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

Though Perez will miss his second start after suffering a Grade 1 plus strain in his left hamstring Sunday against Tampa Bay, he participated in activities before Tuesday's game and is progressing nicely, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Freddy Fermin will once again start behind the dish and bat sixth while Perez recovers.

Soderstrom is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against Boston.

Soderstrom will take a seat after he started the first four games following the All-Star break, going 3-for-13 while drawing two walks and striking out three times. Jordan Diaz will draw the start at designated hitter and bat third versus the Red Sox.

Fortes is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Jacob Stallings will start at catcher and bat ninth for the visiting Marlins. He and Fortes have been trading off playing time since the All-Star break, and neither backstop offers much in the way of fantasy production.

Maldonado will sit Tuesday versus the Rockies.

Maldonado will get a breather after he went 2-for-12 with a double, two RBI and a run scored while starting all three of the Astros' games during their series with Angels. Yainer Diaz will take over behind the plate and bat sixth in the series opener with Colorado.

Kirk is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Padres, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

It will be Danny Jansen catching Alek Manoah. Kirk is in the midst of a 3-for-39 slump at the plate, which has his OPS on the year down to .610.

San Diego optioned Nola to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Nola has failed all year to find a groove offensively and the Padres no longer have to practice patience with him because Luis Campusano (thumb) is back to full health.

San Diego activated Campusano (thumb) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Finally recovered from May 12 surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb, Campusano is back to help out at catcher and DH in San Diego. He posted an encouraging .920 OPS with one homer and three doubles in eight rehab games between the Arizona Complex League and Triple-A El Paso.
