Baldwin went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Giants during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

The first-inning long ball off Adrian Houser was hit Tuesday, but the game wasn't actually completed until Wednesday due to inclement weather. Baldwin started at catcher in the contest, then went 1-for-5 with a run scored as the DH in the nightcap --although he did strike out in five of his plate appearances during the twin bill as he works to regain his timing after missing four weeks due to an oblique strain. Through 50 games this season, Baldwin's slashing .298/.381/.540 with 14 homers, 39 RBI and 41 runs.

Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs.

Goodman wrapped up the Rockies' six-game road trip with a homer. He went 8-for-25 (.320) with three homers and six RBI during the trip. For the season, the catcher has batted .251 with an .858 OPS, 21 long balls, 39 RBI, 46 runs scored, 12 doubles and five stolen bases over 69 contests.

Susac is not in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta, reports Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Susac will ride the bench Wednesday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Tuesday's matchup against Atlanta. Eric Haase will replace Susac in the field at catcher and bat ninth.

Atlanta selected Camargo's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that it's "unlikely" Smith (neck) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday when first eligible, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Smith went through a full workout Tuesday, but the neck injury that sent him to the IL last week is still bothering him a bit. It's unclear what the next step is for the catcher, but more should be known about Smith's timeline in the coming days. Dalton Rushing will continue to serve as the Dodgers' primary catcher while Smith is sidelined.

With top backstop J.T. Realmuto resting for the series finale, Stubbs will enter the lineup for just the eighth time since being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on April 22. Stubbs has gone 4-for-20 (.200 average) with three runs and one RBI over his limited playing time with Philadelphia.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Garrett Stubbs will step in behind the dish as a replacement for Realmuto, who went 1-for-8 with a home run and two RBI while starting in the first two games of the series against his former team. One of multiple veteran Phillies players who have underperformed this season, Realmuto owns a career-low .607 OPS over 185 plate appearances.

Stephenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

After going 1-for-3 at the dish while catching nine innings of the Reds' 5-3 win Tuesday night, Stephenson will receive a breather for Wednesday's day game. Jose Trevino will check in for Stephenson behind the plate and will bat eighth.

Rushing is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Rushing will get some rest on the bench Tuesday after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Monday's 4-3 series opener win over the Rays. Chuckie Robinson is starting at catcher and batting ninth Tuesday.
