Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Moreno looks to be getting a routine day off after he caught the first two games of the series while recording a pair of base hits across seven at-bats. Tucker Barnhart will take on the catching duties in the series finale.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Bailey had caught both of the Giants' previous two contests, so he's likely just getting a maintenance day for the series finale. Tom Murphy will step in behind the dish in Bailey's stead.

Bethancourt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Bethancourt will head to the bench for the series finale as he remains part of a wholly unproductive timeshare behind the plate with Nick Fortes, who gets the starting nod Sunday. Neither backstop has cemented himself as the clear top option in Miami, as Bethancourt has reached base in just one of his first 23 plate appearances of the season, while Fortes has mustered a .266 OPS in 24 plate appearances.

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

D'Arnaud will receive a routine breather for the series finale after he started behind the plate Friday and Saturday while going 2-for-7 with a double. Chadwick Tromp will handle catching duties Sunday.

Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Davis will get a breather for the series finale in Philadelphia after catching each of the Bucs' last four contests while going 4-for-13 with one double, three walks, two runs and two RBI. Joey Bart will step in to handle catching duties for Pittsburgh.

Amaya went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win against Seattle.

Amaya hit his first home run of the season in the eighth inning, giving the Cubs some extra breathing room in the victory. The 25-year-old has now appeared in eight games this year, with Yan Gomes making nine appearances. The two should continue to split playing time fairly evenly behind the plate, with Gomes slotted in as the de facto starter. However, the veteran is struggling with a .174 batting average and .522 OPS to date, so Amaya could push for a larger role if he produces at the plate.

Campusano isn't in San Diego's lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Campusano will get a breather after slashing .158/.200/.158 with three RBI across the Padres' last six games. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the plate instead while batting ninth.

Ruiz (illness) isn't in the Nationals' lineup Saturday versus Oakland, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Ruiz has now missed four consecutive starts due to illness, but the 25-year-old backstop remains day-to-day. Riley Adams will start again in Ruiz's place and bat eighth.

Realmuto isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Realmuto will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-7 with a run scored through the first two games of the series. Garrett Stubbs will take over behind the plate and bat seventh.

Stephenson isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Stephenson will get a day off Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored during Friday's blowout victory. Luke Maile will start behind the dish instead while batting eighth.
