Baltimore selected Godoy's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

Godoy takes the roster spot of James McCann, as McCann was placed on the injured list prior to Sunday's game versus the Cubs with a left ankle sprain. Acquired from the Yankees in a trade at the beginning of June, Godoy will be the backup backstop to Adley Rutschman while he's on the major-league roster.

Rogers is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Rogers has a .961 OPS across 25 at-bats in June and will take a seat Sunday after starting three of the previous four games. Eric Haase will work behind the plate in the series finale versus the Twins.

Contreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Contreras started the first two games in New York but will take a seat for the finale after going 2-for-7 with a solo home run. Andrew Knizner will step in behind the plate and bat eighth.

Heim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over Toronto.

Heim hit the second of back-to-back home runs in the second inning, and his run was the game-winning score. The young catcher burnished his All-Star resume with his eighth home run and 48th RBI. MLB.com released the All-Star Ballot standings last week, and Heim was second among catchers behind the Orioles' Adley Rutschman.

Gomes is not in the lineup for Sunday's tilt versus the Orioles, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Gomes went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in the 3-2 win over Baltimore on Saturday, but he'll take a seat for the series finale. Miguel Amaya will handle backstop duties and hit eighth.

Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

The 28-year-old had a month-long stint in the majors earlier this year and went 2-for-16 in six games. Tromp will rejoin the club Sunday as catching depth ahead of the series finale against the Rockies since Sean Murphy is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Murphy was diagnosed with inflammation in his right hamstring Sunday and is expected to be held out of the lineup for at least the next couple days, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old was removed from Saturday's win over the Rockies due to hamstring tightness, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury and may not require a trip to the injured list. Travis d'Arnaud should step in as the club's primary backstop as Murphy continues to be evaluated over the next few days. Chadwick Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett for catching depth ahead of Sunday's series finale versus Colorado.

Perez went 3-for-5 with an RBI double, a solo home run and an additional run scored during an extra-innings loss to the Phillies on Saturday.

The reserve backstop made good use of one of his intermittent starting opportunities, recording the first run of the game on his 397-foot shot to left center in the fifth and then tying the contest at 2-2 in the 11th with his timely two-bagger. The highly productive night snapped an 0-for-23 skid that had encompassed Perez's last eight games and gave the veteran his first multi-extra-base-hit effort of the campaign. Perez continues to see occasional playing time behind Shea Langeliers and currently sports a career-best .706 OPS, but his role is expected to eventually be altered to some degree once Manny Pina (wrist) is able to make his season debut.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Reds.

Diaz was in the lineup for the sixth time in the Astros' last eight games, four of which have come at designated hitter and two at catcher. That uptick in playing time has occurred with Yordan Alvarez (oblique) sidelined, and Diaz has flashed significant power with two homers and a double across 24 at-bats in that span. In total, Diaz has a .218 ISO and just a 17.4 percent strikeout rate across 109 plate appearances this season.

Rutschman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs.

Rutschman extended his hitting streak to five games, and he's gone 8-for-22 (.364) with four extra-base hits in that span. The catcher's long ball Saturday briefly tied the game at 2-2. For the season, he's slashing an excellent .281/.390/.438 with 10 homers, 31 RBI, 35 runs scored and 10 doubles through 68 contests. With James McCann (ankle) tending to an injury, Rutschman should be firmly locked in behind the plate for at least a few days.
